My Week in Media January 8, 2008

Inspired by this blog and finding it interesting to see what people are consuming, media wise, I thought I’d have a stab at detailing what I’m taking in:

 What I’ve Read:

• The Blair Years – extracts from Alistair Campbell’s diary
• Dipping into The Thunderbolt Kid by the utterly ace Bill Bryson
• The Times, irregularly, but particularly for the sports coverage and T2 features
• Times Higher Education Supplement
• Brides magazine (did you know there are no less than 835 gorgeous wedding looks?)
• The apple tree pruning section in my gardening book, with the hope I won’t kill off the thing when it comes to hacking time

What I’ve listened to

• Radio 2 and Five Live on the way to work (flicking between the two according to how interested I am).  Always Radio 2, Chris Evans, on the way home
• On the MP3 – some Amy Winehouse, Fratellis and Human League
• The Idlewild album
• Random tunes on YouTube, which the boy has picked out as potential wedding bash dancefloor tunes – including Egyptian Reggae, Teardrop Explodes and Julian Cope

What I’ve watched

• A bit of light hearted GMTV if I have time in the mornings
• Sense and Sensibility – proving to be a great watch
• How to Look Good Naked with the loveable genius that is Gok Wan
• Gloucester being well and truly (and deservedly, worse luck) beaten by Bath on Sky Sports – down the pub, I hasten to add

What I’ve surfed

• Most news websites, on a daily basis! Particularly liking Google News at the mo
• People’s pics and status updates on Facebook
• Rugby websites: namely Gloucester RFC, the RFU and Olney RFC
• The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music’s forums, for advice on how to teach a pretty difficult piano piece to my student – very useful, if you’re interested

Boo, just realised I have already broken my NY resolution for less lists….
