Some days a week, I'd stay with my mom's parents while my parents worked. And the rest of the days of the week, I'd stay with my dad's parents. At my mom's parents house, we weren't allowed to watch TV til the last hour or two before my parents would pick up my brother and me. And at my dad's parents', we watched TV all day. Lol. Now, working in a newsroom, I read more newspaper then I've ever. In high school and earlier, it was a little harder to get me interested. Magazine-wise, I usually subscribe to one called Relevant and the rest I tend to buy off of stands when something about it strikes my fancy. And I do a lot of my other media reading on the Web. TV...lately, more than usual (probably due to homework-less nights now that I've graduated). And movies...always. At least a couple a week, anyway, and I rarely watch them anywhere but home because I won't spend more than 4 bucks on a film. lol.

I managed to go without one til last year, though. Speaking of B-movies, I interviewed a local B movie actor recently. Google me and Joel Wynkoop if you've not seen it! :) I wish I didn’t have a credit card. I managed to go without one til last year, though.
