Guilty pleasures....

[Krinaia]

My dad refuses to participate anymore. Hehe. Not that that stops him. He was working on one of my puzzles, searching for a particular piece for an hour. I came in, sat down looked at the puzzle, and snapped a piece in. Oops. How was I to know that was "his" piece.

Puzzles are kindy of a dorky thing don't you think? Maybe it's only dorky if you uhm have one of the rolling felt things.

I used to have a clarinet tutor that used the surface of his pool table for puzzles.

The Question

I suppose the question that should be asked is.....

Why should we feel guilty about anything that is a pleasure????

(sorry folks, it's just that this is a concept I have always had problems with- Hmmm come to think of it , I wonder if I have EVER managed a good, sincere, guilt)

I have just rediscovered one of my guilty pleasures and am loving it. I am not one for computrer games but have bought 2, Abe's Oddysee because he is a cute slave and though it fascinates me I have never had the patience to get past the first ten minutes, then my favourite one for stress relief and fun, Road Rash. Just something about all those guys trying to lash out at me with their chains as I wizz past and leave them far behind, my throbbing, screaming machine whisking me to the finish line a little frazzled, but a lot less stressed!! Talk about edge play....visions of the Pacific Highway cliffs to the ocean come to mind. LOL.

Yup, I might get a little crazy for computer games... I have Zoo Tycoon for a while, just love it! But one day I was ranting and raving about the WORST airports to change planes in, (I fly a lot since I work at an airline) and I made a comment to the effect of "Screw the goddamn committee that designed this particular hellmouth and the fucking horses they rode in on! My niece could make a better airport than this! and she's a whopping 6 years old!'"

And then someone gave me Airport tycoon. You build an airport, right down to who gets the concession stands and then the computer gives you all sorts of scenarios and you have to deal with them.. Like bad weather aand passenger revolts.. Tons of fun.

I used to jigsaws but I started an M.C.Escher 1000 piece and wimped out 1/3 of the way through.Have a "smoke" or open a bottle of red,then a hot bath with candlight and something mellow on the stereo. Read girl power books.( Fantasy by female authors,Sherri Tepper, Marion Z.B. etc) they usually have strong fem characters)Or I paint..its a good vent.
