3 primary forms of input for an intermediate level learner

I have been examining my language learning habits. I am very fickle and can't seem to choose a language for a long enough period of time to really start making progress. It happens so often and is so much a part of who I am that I don't really see it happening most of the time.

I have gone back to the beginning and have decided to master Spanish, specifically Latin American Spanish, as that's the form of Spanish that I have the most access to. Literary Spanish is probably such that there are fewer lines drawn between the regional varieties.

Along with the renewed passion, I have been thinking about HOW to go about learning Spanish. I never really used any text books or anything to learn Spanish. Most of the Spanish I know I picked up in at my friend's house so I could eat food, or by just reading and listening haphazardly.

Here's the conclusion that I've come to for now: There are three main "registers" of Spanish that I care to ever be able to understand and converse in/about.
1. Literary Spanish - the type of Spanish used in novels.
2. Conversational Spanish - the type of everyday Spanish that is needed to understand everything said in a Spanish speaking movie.
3. News Spanish ?@!!? - This is its own level of Spanish with some unique vocabulary not used in the other two registers. From what I've read and understand, the unique vocabulary is fairly limited and repeats itself very often, so I shouldn't have much trouble learning to understand the news at a native level.

For literary Spanish I have chosen to read the seventh book of Harry Potter: i.e. Harry Potter y las reliquias de la muerte.

For conversational Spanish I want to find two or three movies, or perhaps a series like firefly or something that I can watch in Spanish over and over until I understand with ease.

For the news, I haven't quite decided where to go. I would prefer to have written news that has audio with it so I can develop skills of both listening and reading.

Why would anyone need to learn every language?

That's a rhetorical question. This place will simply be a place to get out my thoughts on language learning and to keep track of my progress!
