Pardon me. I was 14 for a couple days.
Back to Gwen Bell’s annoying questions.
Album of the year. What’s rocking your world?*
Funny to think of this album “rocking my world,” but my gut reaction is The Antlers‘ Hospice, which you can listen to here. It’s just beautiful, gorgeous, beautiful beautiful beautiful. The idea behind it is so heavy, it reminds me of the political songs bands did in the 80s and early 90s. Love it.
The best place. A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?*
I’m not sure I would call this the “best” place, but I’d have to say my most frequented place in 2009 was my extraordinarily cheap IKEA couch. At the beginning of the year, I was 4 1/2 months pregnant, and I spent practically all my non-work waking hours on that couch. Because, well, I wanted to die. Then, after Archer was born, we spent many hours nursing and sleeping and watching TV there. The baby and I actually slept on the couch every night for maybe four months after he was born.
So. My couch. An obvious highlight of 2009.
