Actually I saw a rerun of Stanley Kubrick’s “Carrie” late last night.
Q: What book are you reading?
“What Is the What,” Dave Eggers’ heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting book about the Sudanese Lost Boys.
Q: What’s your favorite TV show?
It’s a tie between HBO’s “Tell Me You Love Me” and “Entourage.” They are both so well-written (not to mention commercial-free!).
Q: What Web site do you visit first in the morning?
www.washingtonballet.org of course! Also www.nytimes.com, and occasionally I’ll check the taxidermy listings on eBay.
Q: What are you listening to on your iPod/CD player?
Pablo Casals, the Kronos Quartet, Miles Davis, Cuban ballads by Lucho Gatica, Nina Simone, and Goldfrapp’s impossibly sexy cover of Olivia Newton John’s “Let’s Get Physical.”
