Guilty Pleasures

Why should Jay G and LabRat have all the fun? Here's a list of my guilty pleasures:
  • DVD NCIS-a-thons, best on nasty-weather weekends. Between the 5-disc changer, the DVD-VCR combo, and the high-def player, I can watch a whole season and then some without having to hoist my butt off the couch.
  • The old Roberta Williams-Sierra Online "King's Quest" game series, especially "King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride." Virtualization using VMware vCenter Converter and VMware Player (both free downloads) lets me run obsolete software in its true native OS as guests of a current operating system.
  • Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake and Merry Gentry books. I have 'em all, in both dead-tree and electronic formats. Now, between eReader and Kindle for Android, I can take the whole collection with me wherever I go.
  • Eating this cold, right out of the package. 'Nuff said.
I'm so ashamed.

Unless it is some form of fakon (fake bacon) there is never a reason to be ashamed of any use or consumption of bacon. Basically bacon is the get out of jail free card of food.

Don't be ashamed, eating bacon is cleansing. Also, JAG is a good view, and even Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock - hours of goodness!

I have a secret life in which I watch silent comedies behind closed doors and dream of living in that era where actors were actually talented, architecture was classic and timeless, and horses competed for space with cars on the road. Shhhhhhh--

Oh, and cooking bacon shirtless actually isn't as bad as they say it is...but I didn't have a roommate back then either!
