**food:**  
nesquik cereal…yuuuuumm…when I’m in the US, count chocula…

lobster…lots of lobster…and shrimp…

**misc**

watching dewt whenever he’s bending over…sigh…

there’s that fantasy I have that involves Jeff Martin from the Tea Party …

Judith Krantz novels, People magazine or National Enquirer…during a bubble bath…

**movies/tv**

anything with Yul brynner or John Saxon in it…ANYTHING…

watching ‘Woodstock’ (1969) once a year…

U.F.C…the Octagon…::shivers::

**most enjoyed**

cleaning the house when dewt and mini-dewt are out…stereo cranking Grateful Dead… **on vinyl** at times…you need to have vinyl for some dead…it’s a religious thing…but back to my ultimate pleasure…me clad in a tye-dye, singing and dancing like the madwoman that I am with eyes closed and firmly entrenched in the pretense that I am back at a show…feather duster in hand…

of course, there is not much guilt involved though…

Hmmm…guilty pleasures…mine are:

- Pickled onions, they have to be fresh from the jar though
- The B-52’s, this band has been one of my all-time faves for as long as I can remember
- The movie Beetlejuice. I just love it to bits
- Marlborough Lights cigarettes. Gotta love 'em
- The Powerpuff Girls cartoon
- N’Sync, like racinchikki said, I don’t like THEM, I like their SONGS! [honest!]
- Many more that I can’t remember right now

And yes, Tim Tams are _devine_…

Brat, you never cease to amaze me. Our tastes are way too similiar at times. Though in retrospect I should have picked you as a fellow 'pool fan.

\*\* INFOMERCIALS \*\*  
Good Christ…I must be ill. Hair in a can, Epi Razors and of course…the Ab Roller…one of the nits says… " I leave it lying around the house… people think it’s piece of art!"

Soooo, you folks are the ones supporting the horrid music of N’Sync! And Backstreet Boys too!

Shame on all of you!

Karaoke. Karaoke. Karaoke. Damn it, I could do that every night of my life and I would be a happy, happy man. (Did I spell it properly? Hmm.)

Mind you, I ain’t goin’ to see that there movie “Duets” or nothin’.

Also David Lee Roth era Van Halen.

Oddly, singing Karaoke to David Lee Roth era Van Halen songs doesn’t move me. Strange.

Oh yeah, and Bac-Os. They go good on just about everything. Especially cake.

I love women’s magazines.

And not even the Cosmo-lots-of-sex-type-magazines - I’m talking Suzy Homemaker, Chatelaine-style mags.

I just love these things. The recipes (that I never use), the cost-saving tips (that I mean to implement one day), the fashions from K-Mart…it’s genius.

My wife keeps telling me to stop buying them, since she doesn’t particularily like them anyway. One of these days I guess I’ll have to come clean about my dirty little secret, but until then…Porcupine Meat Balls, anyone? Thumbprint Jam Cookies? Wanna know how to save $200 a year on household cleaners? I’m your man.

Hey, my dad reads the Suzy Homemaker mags for cooking tips-he’s a GREAT cook!
