Okay, I’ll play! (Kinda…)

Posted on by

The first player of this game starts with the topic of “5 Guilty Pleasures” and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

oldstancher tagged me as one of his five people! Cool.

SO. I will happily list 5 guilty pleasures in which I indulge. However, instead of tagging 5 people and making them do it, I’m simply going to encourage anyone out there who reads this to do it! If you like, feel free to post your list as a comment here on Tony101, where life is a big circus! (Today, anyway!)


My 5 Guilty Pleasures

1) Starbucks Triple Venti Mocha. Mmm Mmm good. (Except for all the fat. And sugar. And expense.)

2) Survivor and The Amazing Race. Yeah, yeah, “reality tv is the end of the world as we know it, blah blah blah…”. Tough, they’re fun to watch. (And don’t talk to me about the superiority of scripted television; have you SEEN Joey, or Ghost Whisperer? Puh-leeze.)

3) Long hot showers. If the hot water would last, I could spend all day in a steaming hot shower.

4) Star Trek novels. There’s nothing as relaxing as sitting back with a Trek pulp paperback! (Hi, have we met? I’m Tony, I’m a geek.)

5) Sleeping in. As I get older, I’m becoming less and less of a morning person. Just ask my wife and kids.

  1. Me next! Me next!!
    1) Smutty romance novels.
    2) Chocolate in all it’s decadent forms…milk, dark, cake, melted, and my new favorite, the decaf java chip frappuccino from Starbucks…holy wa…good thing I don’t have a Starbucks near my house
    3) The O.C. I’m shamelessly addicted, and for anyone else who watches, why did they have to start screwing with Seth?!
    4) A nice, relaxing mani-pedi
    5) Pretending I’m still sleeping on Sunday mornings, listening to my son and my hubby playing in the living room…David yelling and giggling and Bill telling him to shush and not wake up Mommy.

    • Re: Me next! Me next!!
      OH oh OH! I wanna play too!
      1) Paying my son a dollar to “rub mommy’s feet” ….HAHHAHAHHAAHhahh yes I really do this.
      2) Listening to Disco while I clean house. I clean a mean house wigglin’ my ass to da’ music!
      3) British Comedies. Thank you KERA Saturday nights!
      4) The twenty minutes after son leaves for school, that I have to myself!
      5) And yes, the second I walk into the front door to kick off my shoes and fling my bra across the living room! … maybe there’s a connection as to why I never have company….LOL

      Hey, Blumpo, theres a Starbucks in Target at West and Allen. Check me out, I’m a decaf java chip frapacrappo pimp!

  3. Ooooh, Triple Venti Mocha.
    You know what’s even better?
    Triple Vente Breve Mint Mocha.
    Breve = steamed half and half.
    Talk about heartattack in a glass. I used to endulge in those when I worked there. (No wonder I gained 20 lbs!!!!)

  4. Wow this really is a circus!
    1) the TV show House, M.D. It’s the best.
    2) myspace, facebook, lj, 3 email addresses and 3 instant messanger programs
    3) Taking pictures of really really random things
    4) Reading stuff like spanish lit or 16th century plays for fun.
    5) Jumping/standing/dancing on the furniture in my apartment.

    • Yep, it’s our own little circus!
      I’ve heard HOUSE is good, but I’m loathe to add another show to my tv watching list. *sigh* Still, with TiVo, maybe I’ll just have to give it a try! 🙂
      Also, maybe you could combine #’s 2,3 and 5 and take some pictures of yourself jumping on your furniture and post them here on LJ for us! 🙂

  5. The ‘other ‘ sibling
    1) Coffee. Black and strong. No venti, no mocha, no frappa, just strong black coffee. Bitter strong. Mine or Tim Hortons.
    2)The internet, when I get home from work, late night. Do you realize that the internet HAS NO END? I know, I’ve been looking for it for almost 10 years.
    3) Toy Trains. Talk about guilty, these things are freaking expensive!
    4) The motorcycle. Gotta love a wife who tells you to buy a ‘you’ motorcycle, and not to worry about a seat for her. UM, OK!
    5) Country music videos. Don’t laugh. For those of you that don’t know what I look like, it just doesn’t fit. But man are they catchy.

        Andes are yummy. And they were in my candy jar, and they all got eaten!
        For some reason, Dominic (Sluggo) calls me Blumpo. Started sometime after he got out of the service.
        And “House” is a very good show. It’s no “O.C.”, but I try not to hold that against it. There’s nothing more entertaining than teen angst. Well, unless you’re a teenager, then it sucks.

        • Re: The ‘other ‘ sibling
          Maybe they could combine them, and Dr. House can be trying to save all those little OC twinkies from horrible diseases…and fail. Then it could be a combination of House, OC, and Six Feet Under.

        • Re: The ‘other ‘ sibling
          Okay, in all seriousness, I’m starting to worry about you.
          Put down the hayseed and saddle, and turn off CMT.
          Walk into your room.
          Turn on some of your Deathbloodsmack or whatever heavy metal thing you have, really loud. Then stand in front of your full length mirror and pretend you’re Def Leppard’s one-armed drummer until you forget all about the Grand Ole Opry.
          Go.
          Do it now.
