List of guilty pleasures, by no means comprehensive:

1. YouTube-ing “Tegan and Sara Banter“. I love them. And between concert sets they chat, about growing up here in a rough part of Calgary, about being twins, about love and relationships, about childhood, about each other… it’s a favorite way to waste time. I think they are so funny. And I have a girl-crush on Sarah.

2. Wikipedia editing. I usually have to make myself stop because it can get pretty consuming. I’m researching things to add content. I’m making friends with other editors and working together to improve a project. Then I have to step back and just resort to proof-reading new content for errors.

3. iLike. I love doing this with Desi. We stay up late, each on a laptop, with a favorite beverage in hand and play music for each other. He has sites he uses, I use iLike on Facebook. We look up music and take turns playing a song for each other. Then we have to guess the singer or the song… We can waste hours doing this.

4. Playing Wii. It’s been a year and a half- and I’m still not tired of it. Our latest family favorite is Super Smash Brothers.

5. Strongbow. I like a nice glass of wine. I like the occasional cocktail: gin and tonic, cuba Libra, caesers,… I like an apperatif: grand marnier, Pernod, even scotch on the rocks. Sometimes I like a beer. But anytime I don’t know what I’m in the mood for I can always order a Strongbow and know that I’ll like it. And Original Joe’s offers a cider on tap with floating cranberries. That’s nice too.

6. Theology. I never tire of studying theology. It’s been years now. I can read and reread. And cross reference and study what others say… What amazes me is how I was taught such a narrowed theology growing up and to see the myriad of very plausable ways of looking at familiar passages. I never tire of it. More and more though I’ve come full circle to appreciating the Catholic way of looking at things. But I really admire the Buddhists idea of God. And have even gained an appreciation for how some muslims have interpreted their faith. All in all- the Jesus of the Bible rocks. Not the Jesus reinvented by some to use as a weapon against others- but the Jesus of the Bible. There’s a guy I like.

7. Online games. Right now I like Governor of Poker and Lightning. Both are card games.

I have more but I can’t remember now.
