In my previous blog - Daily Paper 4 ~, there is a picture of the little one (one of my favourite from the hundreds of picture we took!) sleeping on Piet´s couch in Holland while we were there on holidays.

I loooooooooooooooooove that couch. His kids ((a teen-age girl and boy :) ... if you would like to see a picture of one of them, you could peek in here : Birthday Cake Alarm) accompanied him when he went to buy that couch 4-5 years ago; they dived on it upon seeing it, wiggled their behinds, settled, and made their Papa buy it.

My girls are crazy over the couch too. We have an aesthetically good one at home here in Germany, but not really good for a genuine, couch-chilling session... but that is another story, which you could read together with my answers to the question/poll below.

I am feeling kinda bleargh/giddy and whole bunch of emotions today, and want to distract myself from negative thoughts, so I would be grateful if you would help me out by answering the silly questions below :).

As promised, I would be replying to all the comments on my Daily Paper blogs from this week, during the day and most of tomorrow. Thank you for bearing with me dear friends!

Have a rejuvenating week-end!

P.S. Just for fyi...re: Daily Paper blogs, I would be putting down the pictures after a fortnight... so you know, when you read this on a later date, and the links/posts are empty of pictures.

And oh, my answers to the questions below will be tonight... :) going out now to catch late summer sun.



1. What is the colour of your couch/sofa* ? Please describe your couch... :)

2. What do you associate to the word couch/sofa*?

3. What is your dream couch if you could afford to buy it(please google an image, and post it here, if possible :) ) without budget constraints?

4. Do you still miss an old couch you had but just had to buy a new one to replace it?

5. What do you love doing most on your couch
(I am actually thinking non-sexual but if you are obliged to share... : P )?

6. Have you ever gotten out of bed to lie on the couch again - not only counting the week-end?

7. Any memorable world event that you have experienced while on the couch (heard/watched news that shook the world, or natural calamities) that literally made you stood up?

8. What would you call yourself, couch potato or couch chiller?


9. For travellers/infomaniacs : what was the weirdest couch you have ever seen/heard of in your travels or in your quest to find out more about the world at large? Or which crazy/funny information/story/image of a couch have you
stumbled upon out of boredom (lol... don´t know how to formulate this question better...!) ?

10. If you could chat with someone famous on your couch for a whole day (24 hours), who would it be?


*for simplicity sake, I mostly used the word couch instead of both terms :)

Thanks for humoring my silliness!

    1) Mine is a hideous aqua green colour. I got it free from a friend who was moving to Germany where sofas of such a hideous colour are illegal. Hey, the colour looks good on many things but not a sofa. We tried to hide it under a blue checked blanket but in the summer it's too hot to sit with that blanket.
     
    2) Sitting with my arm around K and watching movies or TV. Than maybe later making out and finally getting naked and sweaty together. It has been some time I'll tell you but we are pretty sure that was how MiniHot was conceived.
     
    3) I don't think about couches and sofas that much you know. As a guy it just has to be big enough to sit on, sleep on comfortably, and have sex on.
     
    4) I have a nice one in Canada in storage. But I won't send it to Japan. I am going to have to find a home for it. That's a bit sad. Had lots of sex on that one too.
     
    5) Non-sexual? Sitting with my arm around K watching movies or TV. But that leads to other things sometimes.
     
    6) I have hoped to fall asleep long enough on the sofa to have a goodnight's sleep but I have always woken up and decided to go to bed.
     
    7) Only stood up for a visit to the loo, fridge or for undressing. No. No major world events ever pass by while I am sitting on the sofa. Not that I recall. No wait! Years ago I stood up and cheered everytime the Canucks scored when they were in the Stanley Cup Finals. That was memorable! They still lost though.
     
    8) A couch chiller? I am more often on a chair in my office or at work these days. The TV doesn't work now and it doesn't really bother me. I am quite content to be occupied with writing, reading, or filing and selecting photos.
     
    9) I saw some weird couches somewhere but I forget where. Was it in a magazine? A store? Yes, there was a particularly weird one but I forget what it was and where I saw it.
     
    10) That's hard to say. I have met some photographers I really respected but found not all of them were that interesting as people to talk to. I think I would have the members of Sloan over. My wife would love that!
     
    Have a good weekend, PAPER!

    1. What is the colour of your couch/sofa* ? Please describe your couch... :) Ok, patoutie...my couch is a striped light blue, light aqua green (Hottie, same color!!!) and cream couch. The stripes are very thin. I loved it at first sight.

    2.  What do you associate to the word couch/sofa*? I love sofa better. It reminds of European houses, Liberty lamps, Proust, my grandma white coiffed hair, me as a kid sleeping on our family couch until falling asleep.

    3.  What is your dream couch if you could afford to buy it(please google an image, and post it here, if possible :) ) without budget constraints? I
    am nuts for European design....so my fav couch would be a large, big square pillows sofa..... something like this..

    4.  Do you still miss an old couch you had but just had to buy a new one to replace it?
    Oh, yes...my old couch in my Italian house....it was pretty similar to the white curved one you can see in the link i gave you...i just looooved that couch.....sigh!

    5. What do you love doing most on your couch
    (I am actually thinking non-sexual  but if you are obliged to share... : P )?
    Right now it can only be something NOT sexual....lol....well, at least sexual without involving a physical second part...(ahemm)...so i have to say i like watching tv when i am too lazy to do anything else...especially while snuggling with my daughter watching her fav shows..

    6.  Have you ever gotten out of bed to lie on the couch again - not only counting the week-end?
    Only when i am sick.

    7.  Any memorable world event that you have experienced while on the couch (heard/watched news that shook the world, or natural calamities) that literally made you stood up? Well.....i was watching the towers crumbled down on 9/11 .... and i watched the Italian games during the Soccer World Championship....i literally jumped up when the French Zinedine hit with his head our Materazzi....sacre bleau!!....

    8.  What would you call yourself, couch potato or couch chiller?
    None of the two. I don't spend much time on the couch now. The computer took over...

    9.  For travellers/infomaniacs : what was the weirdest couch you have ever seen/heard of in your travels or in your quest to find out more about the world at large? Or which crazy/funny information/story/image of a couch have you
    stumbled upon out of boredom  (lol... don´t know how to formulate this question better...!) ?  I saw them but i cant recall where....

    10.  If you could chat with someone famous on your couch for a whole day (24 hours), who would it be?
    For the whole day? Too hard to pick one......it should be someone who makes me laugh too ......there is an Italian political-comedian that cracks me up...Beppe Grillo.....we would talk about a lot of topics and i would die laughing as well...perfect combination.....lol..

    Hugs to you, Joanna....:-)

    1. What is the colour of your couch/sofa* ? Please describe your couch... :)
    In my family room, we have a large sectional sofa.  It's grey and beige and taupe in a very fine horizontal-line print. 
    I like this sectional because all 5 of us can fit on it without struggle.  There are two recliner chairs that kick out on the ends and a table separating them.
    It's well worn- 9 yrs old this year.  We could certainly use a new one-  maybe next year.  And I will defintiely buy another sectional....

    5. What do you love doing most on your couch

    lol...of course!

    7.  Any memorable world event that you have experienced while on the couch (heard/watched news that shook the world, or natural calamities) that literally made you stood up?

    i remember hearing about the death of JFK Junior and Princess Diana while watching TV on the couch- both made me get up.

    8.  What would you call yourself, couch potato or couch chiller?

    i'm a couch chiller- my husband is the potato!

    my parents owned 2 castro convertible sofas in the 70's- the were ZEBRA material.  no,not real zebra silly, just zebra pattern.  and they sat upon a red SHAG rug.  you had to see it to believe it!


    10.  If you could chat with someone famous on your couch for a whole day (24 hours), who would it be?

    I think i would choose Barbara Walters.  She could definitely talk for a whole day without any problem about all the people she's met and interviewed in her life.

    1. What is the colour of your couch/sofa* ? Please describe your couch... :)
        Hehe, as you well know, it's "sandy beige with round green backs and
        big green cushions as arm rests and white  and brown cushions.
        It has a launge area and a sittung area whichcan be combined.

    2.  What do you associate to the word couch/sofa*?
        Launge, rest, sleep, cuddle, you, sex, you, cuddle, sleep, rest, launge,     DVD/chat.

    3.  What is your dream couch if you could afford to buy it(please google an image, and post it here, if possible :) ) without budget constraints?
        I would have it outside  in the garden, cornered around a pond.
         A launge sofa with weatherproof cushions made of hides. It will be    
         under a pergola that would be behind it.

    4.  Do you still miss an old couch you had but just had to buy a new one to replace it?
        No, but I wanted the kids to choose between this one and a white one
        in which cushions you would sink like the Titanic.
        But they didn't even want to see it, haha.

    5. What do you love doing most on your couch
    (I am actually thinking non-sexual  but if you are obliged to share... : P )?
        As I work long days, my couch is very important to me to relax on.
        Sometimes I don't even get to see it but sometime I sleep on it too.
        My favourite things are chilling with you and watching a movie. We also
        eat on it when ever we feel like it.
       

    6.  Have you ever gotten out of bed to lie on the couch again - not only counting the week-end?
        Alot of times I didn't get to see my bed because we were on line and on cam.
        I would fall asleep watching you, whatching me.
        Not wanting to spoil the moment by going to bed.

    7.  Any memorable world event that you have experienced while on the couch (heard/watched news that shook the world, or natural calamities) that literally made you stood up?
        When still married, I came home from my eveningshift at a doctors service at     
        midnight and saw the start of the first Golf War on CNN, sitting on the couch.

    8.  What would you call yourself, couch potato or couch chiller?
        An "On Line Launger" (slowely turning into a potato chiller) hehe.

    9.  For travellers/infomaniacs : what was the weirdest couch you have ever seen/heard of in your travels or in your quest to find out more about the world at large? Or which crazy/funny information/story/image of a couch have you stumbled upon out of boredom  (lol... don´t know how to formulate this question better...!) ?
        I think the weirdest cauch I ever sat on was one that moved around as
        by it's selve. It was hideous and didn't belong where it stood.
        It was a huge '70's brown and orange couch and it stood in the    
        messroom of a ship I worked on. When it stormed we could travel all
        around the messroom while going up and down.

    10.  If you could chat with someone famous on your couch for a whole day (24 hours), who would it be?
        Robin Williams. I think he's MEGA funny and intelligent.
