Media Habits and Me
My main media consumption isn't as much in visual media, rather, print media. I am a news junkie, or more specifically, a New York Times addict. I'm also very impatient, so when broadcast news is reporting on more flashy, less substantive topics, I turn it off. Usually I watch TV for special in-depth coverage, or video for "ya just gotta see it" news. I do like sitcom shows, but I don't have time to watch what I like consistently, and since I don't have Tivo, I rent DVD's. Shows I rent are usually Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld. My favorite non-news TV is Comedy Central. The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and the Sarah Silverman Program are my favorites along with stand-up. I don't generally like dramatic shows because I watch TV shows to unwind and not to feel more tense, but I do like movie dramas. I enjoy most types of film. I love the cheesiest Hollywood flicks to the most dense indy films. It generally depends on my mood, or if I see or hear of something that sounds interesting. I love foreign films as well, but I usually end up going to big Hollywood films in theaters and renting indy and foreign flicks.
