one thing that you loved in 2009? Rudolph Valentino, surprisingly. I discovered him while doing research for my independent study on film history. I watched The Sheik on Instant View on Netflix and I was hooked. To be honest, what I love about him isn't even his movies really; I find the phenomenon of him and his appeal incredibly fascinating. There are so many strange facets connected to his popularity that are truly interesting. I'll write a post on him eventually.
one thing you're loving this very moment? Almond Sunset Tea in my brand new yellow tea pot (thanks to my wonderful sister). I worked outside today and all I could think about for around 5 hours straight was how wonderful a hot cup of tea would be (it didn't disappoint).
one thing that you'd love to do next year? go to Brazil. I've been meaning to go for some time. I took a class on Portuguese my last semester and, although I'm far from mastering the language yet, I'm longing to go to Rio.
P.S. I know Christmas is now past but don't forget to vote for your favorite children in a holiday film!
Thank you for doing this post! I really enjoyed reading your answers. Your blog looks wonderful too.

What happens if there is a tie?
ReplyDeleteAnna - Thank you! I love your blog too!
ReplyDeleteEmma - Thank you! There are a few Valentino movies I can recommend if you're interested...
Tom - I don't know what happens! I guess they all win! Unless somebody votes in the next 22 hours and breaks the tie, we can just discuss how wonderful all of the winners are.
