Friday Five

Last Friday's thefridayfive

Would you rather [entertainment version]...
1. Download music // buy a CD

At this point, download music because I don't need the clutter in my house of CDs. But I will say that I loved album covers and liner notes and the will-they-won't-they of whether lyrics would be included. The "additional" stuff that you don't always get with a download.

I don't miss the way cassette tapes could snarl or snap, though.

2. Use MP3 player // Use CD Player

Neither? Almost all my music gets played from multi-use devices these days (phone, computer, stereo receiver receiving music via wifi or broadband).

3. Watch a movie at a theater // Rent a video

Oh, this is both. Although it's expensive, the big recliners in my local movie theater (and a realization that Dolby/3D/Imax are detriments to my personal experience rather than pluses) have me enjoying the cinema again. But there is also so much that's blissful about sitting on the couch at home.

4. Amusement park for the day // Picnic in a park for a day

AMUSEMENT PARK. I like my outdoor experience curated for me (something I just crystallized in my mind at this very moment).

5. Read a magazine // Dollage with a magazine

I don't know what dollage is (just realized it's a misspelling of "collage" rather than an actual thing, which is disappointing, there should be a cool craft called dollage ((rhyming with collage))), but I really love reading magazines. I used to be a cover-to-cover gal, even reading the table of contents and the author/editor bio snippets, but have along the way lost my stamina. Alas. It's still my favorite type of reading for airplanes, doctor's offices, nail salons/hairstylists.

Oh do I miss the days of listening to an album and learning the lyrics using the leaflet, that I definitely miss with downloading. I also love seeing who artists thank, as strange as that may seem.
