refined

I have this thing where I can barely appreciate cheeze in pop culture. In music, I need about two or three decades of distance between me and the crap in question. In television it just doesn't happen, at all. With movies I need mind-altering chemicals, in general. (I actually was able to enjoy Moulin Rouge in the theater because of this.) Maybe this makes me a snob, but I just need actual redeeming qualities in my media consumption.

The upshot of this is that I don't have any guilty pleasures. Just pleasures other people think I should feel guilty about. And also I'm glad that no one is into Survivor anymore.
