I never let the fantasy world from books, movies or TV get into my life: I watch 2 or 3 hours of TV per week (one hour of discovery channel at saturdays, half hour of fox on sundays, 10 to 20 minutes of local news every day), I haven't seen a movie in a long time, and I stoped reading books lately, as I stoped my business travels for a while and I'm only able to read at hotels and airports.

Yet, when I'm watching Star Wars, or I'm reading Hitchiker's Guide or whatever, sometimes I think to myself "Why am I doing this? Why am I spending money and taking time out of my schedule to admire something false, some unreal world? Why do I love those geek things? Why do I enjoy being such a nerd?" - Have any of you ever feel guilty or bad about it? Did you ever think about it?
