Media Consumer...Who, Me?

What books would you like to read if you had more time? I would love to be able to read more scientific based books. My original college degree choice was chemistry, I know, it's quite a jump to graphic design and advertising, but I still love science! The only thing that is difficult about reading this genre is that often these books are laden with technical terms that require additional research and time. If I had extra time to invest I would love to continue my scientific backround through books. When do you listen to the radio? Do you listen primarily for music, news or talk shows? Oh, how I miss the radio! The stations around here are terrible! I used to love to listen to the radio when I lived in Boston. It gives you the opportunity to hear a variety of music, new songs and bands, and if the station is good enough, you can enjoy laughing with the DJs. I mainly listen to the radio in my car. I think the radio is a great way to pass time when you're not overly stimulated...painting your room, doing housework, or driving long distances. What was the last movie you saw in the theater? How long ago? Memoirs of a Geisha...and you all know that was a long time ago, I can't remember exactly how long! It's a shame that it costs $10 to see a movie! I never want to spend $10 to end up sitting for two hours; if I wanted to sit on my ass, I could watch my TV for free! What is your all time favorite movie? Why? Hmm...well one of my favorites would be Moulin Rouge. I really enjoy the cinematography; the camera movement, and visual imagery are dizzying and entertaining to watch. I love the quirky characters. To be watching a story that takes place in France in 1899 and have them break out into Madonna's "Like a Virgin" is comical but more importantly brilliant! Of course, the girly part of me also enjoys the sappy love story that goes along with it. Which of the advertisments on television or in magazines do you remember most clearly? Why do you think you remember them? I love advertisements that are simple but make you think. An ad that has a clean design, with a one liner accompanying the picture is perfect to me.
