Since my mom oversaw the installation of my cable last Thursday, I have watched 12 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210. This is totally embarrassing and I hope admitting it to the world will curb my enthusiasm (or make me start watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, a show people can watch and seem cool). I’ve had many guilty pleasures before, but this is getting completely out of hand already. Comcast gives me SoapNet, which runs three 90210 episodes a day. I am lost to the overly dramatic storylines and truly horrible 1990s fashion. I am doing my homework with more focus so I can squeeze in all the episodes I’ve DVRed. I’m DVRing it right now while I’m at work!Guilty pleasures are one of my favorite things to learn about other people. For instance, I recently I discovered that one of my friends collects Hard Rock Café t-shirts. This actually delighted me because prior to this revelation I think we both considered him to be cooler than me. He would still maintain that he is, I’m sure, but this sounds like a guilty pleasure to me and the playing field just got a lot more level. Yes!
What’s your guilty pleasure?
