A belated Merry Christmas, and a Hippitty Happitty New Year to you too.
If I could sum up 2008 in one word, I would. I can't, so I'll do something else.
My favorite Book of 2008: The Book of Lost Things, John Connelly.
Okay, this book came out in 2006, but I didn't read in until 2008, so it's okay. Honestly, if you are a lover of anything, read this book. I adore it. I feel like I am a better person, just for reading it.
My Favorite Album of 2008: Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes.
I can't deny it, I want to find a bearded man on a mountain in the woods who plays a banjo and fishes every day. I don't necessarily want to marry that man, just find him. The voice, the melodies, the harmonies, the twang, the plucks, the strums, the album cover, the natural reverberations, this album is my own personal heaven.
My Favorite TV Show of 2009: Pushing Daisies.
This show has been cancelled. This makes me sad. This makes me angry. But, oh well. At least I can buy it on DVD and drool over Chuck's amazing clothes and Ned's sad blue eyes. Cute clothes, morbidity, pies...need I say more? I love it.
My favorite Movie of 2008: Kung Fu Panda
I had to think about this one for a while. I don't think it's the best movie of 2008, but it was my favorite. I don't have a real explanation, other than "I liked it."
So, there you have it.
Now go read a book and have dreams about fairies and wolves you fine people!
