When I'm feeling down and just kind of frustrated with life I will rock out to the Grateful Dead's "Touch of Grey." I always feel better afterward. I know it is a really cheesy song, but I just don't care.

I will also watch Diners, Drive-inns and Dives for hours. I know Guy Fieri is a tool and the food doesn't always look very appealing, but I can't stop.

Ridiculous over-the-top action movies from the 80s and early 90s. I have seen Showdown in Little Tokyo more times than any sane human being ever should. I unironically love Dolph Lundgren.

I love vintage slasher films. It's my absolute favorite subgenre of horror. No matter how formulaic, I just love the hell out of some dude in a mask slicing and dicing his way through a bunch of people at a summer camp/college campus/high school/slumber party/whatever.

Hoarding shows, especially A&E's version. TLC's version is ok but it usually has fewer horror houses so it doesn't always capture my attention.

I also love Bad Girls Club. A former roommate got really close to being cast (she might actually have been, she moved out before I could find out) and considering she was on Jerry Springer show she'd fit right in. There's just something ridiculously entertaining about watching people do dumb poo poo on camera.

Any reality TV like everyone else said. I spend way to much time watching Ink Masters for someone who only has one tattoo and isn't really interested in that culture. I can barely cook macaroni but sure i'll watch a marathon of Chef Masters or whatever. I used to religiously watch Big Brother but I havn't watched it in a few years now.

I also LOVE stuff like Blink 182, Good Charlotte, and Taking Back Sunday. I know the lyrics are terrible but for some reason I like whiny lyrics mixed with fast moving music.

Pokemon. Despite the fact that the games hardly change and the Pokemon designs are getting weirder by the year, I'll be damned if I can't immediately rattle off the ones in my current team.

I def. wouldn't call Pokemon terrible, but yeah, I love it too. The games have always been good, they just got so complacent with the formula from DPP onward. X and Y were a definite step in the right direction with 3D models, Mega Evolutions, FINALLY something fun for online (Wonder Trade) and, imo anyway, the best creature designs since RSE. I'm a complete sucker for Pokemon and I really don't feel any shame about it. I collect the cards, plush toys and figures, and play competitively on Pokemon Showdown/Pokemon Online. It's fun as hell. Pokemon has always sort of been my hobby. I grew out of Yu-Gi-Oh, Final Fantasy, Sailor Moon, Digimon, and various others but Pokemon has something that really stands out from the rest. :spergin:

A witch is always a lady except when circumstances dictate otherwise.
I unironically adore FEDS, all of the Revenge of the Nerds movies, Big Fish, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Little Shop of Horrors, and My Blue Heaven. The more earnest and "used to play at 11pm on Comedy Central in 2002" a movie is, I'm there. I love the new Amazing Spider-man movies.

When I'm not reading the Vorkosigan Saga (which has won awards and can be argued to be rather good for SF, natch) or rereading Great Novels I enjoyed in my undergrad, I'm reading urban fantasy. The trashier and more possessive the beastly supernatural dude, the happier I am. Someday someone will combine urban fantasy novels and traditional fantasy novels and I'll ready trashy books about orc PIs schtupping elfin lady mechanics and I will not be remotely sorry. I'm 28 goddamn years old.

Spotify just updated me telling me Me First & the Gimme Gimmes have a new album out. I squealed. I don't even like NOFX and Swingin Udders--I always preferred Bad Religion and Failure. :shobon:

Nthing, of course, Chopped and Top Chef. Oh my God CHOPPED, why are you so addictive?

Maplestory. Still a bit of a grindfest, immature community,constant server outages, congestion problems on training maps. But I get a terrible itch to binge on it once every few months. As far as an MMO is concerned, it's really colorful and has a zillion different themes. So leveling from 1-120 takes you through sleepy villages, ghetto modern towns, shopping malls, mushroom kingdoms, desert castles, a New York City look-alike and other stuff. If they seriously revamped gameplay while still keeping everything else, I'd be hopelessly addicted to it.

I used to do this too, right down to the binging every few months, but I think I kicked the habit once I realised to get the endgame skills, you need to participate in the completely broken economy where literally everything costs several million gold. They might have changed that now though.

$5/bottle wine is my go to for getting drunk when I don't care about the taste, because for $10 I can get nicely drunk but not have enough to end up with a terrible hangover the next day. And mostly at that price it's not horrible, just really generic and uninteresting.

I would unironically ask for that girl's autograph if I ever met her.

I think some Eurovision songs are actually quite good. I unironically jammed to "Only Teardrops" last year.

As much as Little Caesar's is definitely meh, I can't say no to five dollar large pizzas. I'll often New Haven them up by mixing garlic, olive oil, and canned clams and pouring that poo poo all over it in order to give them some personality; you could do a lot worse.

As for terrible things, I still love the steampunk aesthetic. I don't like how it draws libertarians like flies to poo poo, of course, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I would kill for one of those brass keyboards with typewriter keys, as well as a sharp looking three piece suit with a decent hat now commonly associated with insufferable people (top hat, derby, fedora, etc).

Lunchables are a good meal. Just the basic cheese, ham, and crackers.

Hot Pockets; only the four-cheese variety. I'll eat like, six at a time.

Any pizza, but especially cheap and fast pizza. Just slap some sauce on bread and melt cheese on it.

I used to work at one in college, and while their ingredients are super-cheap, those of us working there could make some reasonably good pizzas. The problem is that there are rules, usually strictly enforced, governing how much of each ingredient can be placed on a pizza (especially cheese, holy poo poo will they enforce the cheese rules). My manager was awesome, though, so as long as no other managers were present, around closing time we could go hog wild. They still weren't anything special due to the low-quality ingredients, but they weren't bad.
