My media habits

I sometimes feel really out of touch with media.

I use the internet a lot, and watch some news online from comcast.net and we do have cable tv but I don't really get a chance to watch much during the school year. I watch the news at 10 pm and I love to watch Law and Order SVU, but other than that I really don't watch much tv. When I do watch tv, the majority of it ends up being me watching a kids movie with my son or watching Curious George while folding laundry. I used to go to the movie theater all the time, but now that I have a three year old going to the movies once a week has turned into going a few times a year. It certainly puts a different perspective on which movies I have to see in the theaters!
Because of my limited media contact, however, I do notice that what I watch is a lot more enjoyable and has to do with things I am really interested in. I usually see movies that are interesting to me, such as movies with political undertones, and the tv I watch has to do with what my interests are too.
