Taking LSD with the Prog-rock seems like it'd be boring. But being crazy and listening to the psychedelic one is awesome.



I didn't answer your question did I?

Aside from the occasional cheesy happy pop song, I really like The Sims, and watching "let's play" videos by certain people (for example, the guy who did "kill everything that moves" playthroughs of the newer Fallout games). I also have a weakness for a select few reality shows, most notably Canada's Worst Driver. There's just something about the combination of the host and the completely batty people they manage to find that makes it incredibly entertaining.

And Youtube poop, because it appeals to that part of my sense of humour that never matured past 12.

One of my personal "guilty" pleasures would have to be Game of Thrones. Shocker, I know

There's nothing wrong with Canada's Worst Driver. In fact, watching Andrew Younghusband get increasingly frustrated with the contestants season after season is half the fun.

Phil Collins.

God help me, I like Phil Collins. Maybe not all of his work, but enough.

Seanbaby would be ashamed of me.

You're not alone. And on that note I also really love cheesy Christmas songs, up to and including Heal the World.

I've been rewatching TOS as research for the kitschy sci-fi thing I'm writing, and in modern terms it's completely terrible. Actually, not terrible but unrelatable. It's not the wooden acting or the polystyrene scenery, it's that fifty years later (yes, really) the whole thing seems incredibly naive.

Hollywood formula action, like anything from Tony Scott or Michael Mann, bleeding into campy, like Payback.

Also I have Michael Dorn's autograph on my Klingon dictionary (and he smiled at me, out of the whole line!), not really about TOS either, still need to give Enterprise a chance. I think too many people didn't for the same reason they had trouble adjusting to J.J. Abrams Trek movies, sure it was confusing at first, but now they're some of my favorites, and I'm tired of hearing about the change, deal with it.

Are we seriously not supposed to like stupid-funny gaming/mods videos? Those too then.

I think a good addendum to this principal would be that the man who writes about another time invariably ends up writing about his own time.

I never really got into TOS, and I think it's because it's about the future of the sixties, not the future of today. Especially since they kept being like "a black/russian/asian/woman/whatever person on the bridge crew! Isn't that craaazy?!"

And there's going to be another season this fall. If I ever see the guy in real life, I'm going to give him a hug and tell him that everything is going to be alright. And that he's completely awesome.

Anyone who doesn't at least chuckle at videos like this is immediately under suspicion of not having a sense of humour.
