Likes and hates

I'm watching a DVD right now, which has been riveting my attention. At the same time, I had to watch something idly, so I'd like to share my thoughts on things that I like and dislike.

I like quality television with complex plots and characterizations. I love it when people strive for quality and originality. That's why I like "The Dead Zone," "24" and "Veronica Mars." Each one of these shows the earmarks of outstanding writing, plot complexity and attention to detail.

The old "Twilight Zone" series was good too, although i didn't pay as much attention to it.

I'm not such a fan of quality food. Oh, I like to eat, but I'm not one for frequent fine dining. I think that's largely because I tend to be rather frugal, and I'd rather eat for cheap. I am nutrition-conscious though, so I don't go for the ultra-cheap, fattening stuff.

I don't like lazy people. I can't stand it when people feel the need to stroll casually down parking lot lanes, even when they're in the way of vehicular traffic. I also detest it when motorists tie up the mall parking lanes because they just HAVE to wait for someone to back out of a choice parking spot. Never mind that there are plenty of other parking spots available; some of these bastars just HAVE to take a spot that's as close to the mall entrance as possible.

Oh, and I hate it when I come across lazy people at the gym, just kinda lounging around the exercise equipment--in their street clothes, no less! Criminy. If you're going to use the gym equipment, that's fine, but if you're treating the place as a hangout, then get the heck out of the way.

I'm sure that I'll have plenty more to say about these things later. I'm in a ranting kinda mood.
