Peony’s This or That Tuesday
1. TV or radio? Radio.
2. On the radio: talk or music station? Mostly talk.
3. Actual books or books-on-tape (or e-books)? Real books, all the way.
4. Actual newspaper, or web version? Web on weekdays, print on Sundays.
5. Wall Street Journal or National Enquirer? Neither.
6. TV news…news channel such as CNN, or your local broadcast news? We usually watch the national news on broadcast stations (Lehrer, Brokaw….)
7. A movie you’ve been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway, or pass? Depends who’s reviewing it and why they’re panning it — sometimes they just don’t get it (for example, I liked Unbreakable.) Steven Greydanus is my absolute favorite movie reviewer.
8. See movies when they first come out, or wait a few weeks for the lines at the theater to get shorter? We usually end up waiting for them to come out on video.
9. TV: cable, satellite dish, or just plain old antenna? Antenna.
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would you choose…print (newspapers, magazines) or electronic (TV, internet)? Why? Internet! It’s faster, it’s there when you want it, you can click away when you’re ready to move on to something else… the ads in the Sunday paper are easier to deal with, though.
