I like taking pictures of plants, nature, and such. I'm a guy. My friends think it's too feminine
I take pictures of the sunset from my bedroom window...
Girls that see them say they look amazing, guys that see them say I'm gay... It's pathetic.
Downloads from iTunes of CSI Miami shows. The bright colors are just the ticket on a gloomy day in November (worked well for May and June too, this year, sigh...)

icanhascheezburger.com is a pretty good one as well, they actually have an iPhone app as well. I also like FMLs although I dont think either of these is a constant obsession just something I enjoy looking at maybe once or twice a week.
Coca-Cola - definitely a pleasure, though I can't say that I feel guilty about it. I also play WAY too much Bejeweled, but I don't feel guilty about that either
My TRUE guilty pleasure would be daytime soap operas and soap "conventions" - sort of like a SciFi convention I suppose - actors from various soap operas appear, do Q&A's, sign autograph's, etc. I've been attending them for a few years now, and for awhile it was totally on the down-low "I'm just going away for a girls-weekend with some friends" - that sort of thing. But now pretty much all of my friends and family know about it. They give me a hard time about it, but screw it - I have a good time and I've met a whole pack of new friends from attending these things. It's been awesome.

I got into "Magic the Gathering" in high school and actually played throughout college. Then I had a short affair with the first computer game version that was put out. I haven't played in years and I'm actually thinking about selling my card collection at this point. It's all old stuff mainly the Revised Edition. I have to say it was a lot of fun to play. I loved the strategy of it all.
That's so awesome. One of the best guilty pleasures I've ever heard. It's so weird how soap operas usually get us all at some point in life. I can remember actually watching Days of Our Lives in college with some other guy friends. I think they pull young males in with the hot women and softcore action.
Starcraft commentaries. I'm not even good at it, but for some reason I enjoy watching english commentaries of Korean Professional-gamer Starcraft matches.
What a weird thing to do.

The books I liked when I was 12/3. When I feel bad I'll still dig out The Princess Diaries series I rarely have time to read these days, and when I do I never read anything 'adult' (when I was about 9 I used to read constant classics though soo it balances out?)
Day to day though it's the internet, big time.

I started at Fallen Empires (ugh), got out around the Mercadian Masques block, then got back in at the tail end of Ravnica. Lots of changes.
Your Revised Lightning Bolts, among other things, should bring a good bit when M2010 goes live on the 17th people are going to be jumping on all the older versions. It hasn't seen Standard play in a very long time.
It's not very often I'm at home on a weekday, but on one of the satellite channels they used to show all the old World Of Sport wrestling. Great stuff, with the likes of those you mention and Kendo Nagasaki, Jackie Pallo and Mick McManus. I watch a bit of the current American stuff but it lacks the charm of the old British matches.
Easy! Easy!
The Alice series by Phyllis Naylor. I originally got them from the local library to read with my kid, and I got hooked. Just try explaining this to the Mrs...

How could I have not mentioned Bejeweled. But I don't feel guilty about it either. It's like a consciousness test for whether I'm good to go or should have another cup of coffee before attempting to operate a browser.
Chocolate, absolutely. And oh every kind of sweets. And no, I am not overweight or something
Other than that, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and movies with/or Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman (haven't found one movie which includes them all together though).

My most random one: Cleaning. I get out sooo much tension, anxiety & stress by doing something random around the house. So much so that I kinda enjoy it. *ducks* Don't tell the g/f...
Left 4 Dead and Gears of War 2.
Still at work, and only thing I'm thinking about is blowing up a Boomer or sawing a Sire in half.
so yeah. hard at work.

I'm 17 and I sometimes enjoy watching children's TV shows. CBBC, that sort of thing. There's even one show on Cbeebies that I may think is worth my time.
Porn. I don't really feel that guilty about it, since there's not much hope of me meeting a ladyboy in reality.
What I'm really guilty about is pop music - I like heavy metal too, I have all of Iron Maiden's albums... and Cher Lloyd's... Shh... don't tell anyone, especially my workmates!

Guilty pleasure: Mickey Rourke films.
Yes, I know he has ridiculous mannerisms, horrible wardrobe decisions, generally terrible choice in projects, and other failings. But for some reason I cannot explain - when he is onscreen he dominates the scene for me.

I saw Immortals this weekend and Rourke was great as the villain.

If you haven't already, check out "Pope of Greenwich Village" and "The Wrestler". Those, IMO, were actually good films. But I like him even in the dreck!
I love taking long drives to nowhere. Give me a cool fall morning or a clear moon-lit night and I'm gone. Its a massive waste of gas but sometimes its the only way I can clear my head.
