Media diary summary

Sorry I posted my assignments late because my invitation to this blog was expired already. Hope you have time to comment.

I wrote my media diary from 5th to 9th of December 2009 because I spent that weekend mostly at home and therefore used more time following media than usual weekend. At some weekends when I'm not home I hardly follow any media intentionally.

5.12.2009 Saturday
I powered on my computer somewhere around 12, checked emails and news. Also visited internet forums and browsed internet, read wikipedia etc. for interesting but probably useless information. On the evening I listened to music I played Dragon Age on PC for some time. I couldn't really concentrate on playing so I decided to watch a horror movie Pandorum on late evening. I didn't feel sleepy, perhaps because of the movie, and started reading discussion about the movie on IMDB.com, rather usual habit of mine when the movie is good or thought provoking. Later, around 03 at night I used skype to chat with my girlfriend. Rather unusual day for the lack of phone usage, especially on saturday.
6.12.2009 Sunday
Woke up late, powered on computer to check out mail & news from internet forums. Had a few phone calls and text messages, chatted a bit on facebook which I rarely use. On evening I read local newspaper along with other mail that was left on my mailbox. Had TV on for a while and watched Independence Day celebration for a while. Did some schoolwork on computer on the later evening and chatted via messenger and skype.
7.12.2009 Monday
Woke up bit before school so I didn't have time to spend on computer in the morning. Picked up mail when I got from school. On the evening I checked internet forums & youtube while eating(a habit) and checked bus&train schedules for wednesday. Used IRC, messenger and skype later on evening. Used phone for calling as well.
8.12.2009 Tuesday
I had time before the school so I checked mail and browsed internet while having a breakfast. On evening I did some schoolwork on pc, logged on to irc/msn/skype but didn't use much. I played Dragon age for around 5 hours on late evening. I don't usually have that much opportunities to concentrate on playing, because for me it takes a while before I can focus on game properly.
9.12.2009 Wednesday
Woke up relatively early, powered on PC and checked mail & browsed net and checked facebook. Got Christmas commercials via SMS. Checked train schedules online and prepared some reading & tv-series episodes for my laptop to have something to do while traveling. Left home for groupwork meeting, used phone to tell I'll be late :D. Read a bit of Ilta-Sanomat tabloid that was left on train, also had more phone calls. Used MP3 player as well.

Because of the weekend at home I used lot of computer, and because my travelling plans had delayed a bit I had Tuesday evening to concentrate on playing. I have some habits in my media use, but the time I spend on each media can vary greatly. One habit is checking emails and rarely facebook when I wake up and turn on the computer, continued by somewhat pointless internet browsing when I have time. Browsing forums and other sites on my main PC has become some sort of replacement for TV, I often do other things at the same time, like chat online with my laptop or eat, quite often I even browse some nonrelated sites amidst reading school related articles and books. I almost always search information and read discussions about media products that have gained my interest, spending even more time searching information than using the media product itself. That is the case with most movies, games and books I'm interested in.
