Alrighty. I guess I'd better get started on the questions.
First, from our fabulous Foster.
1. Who is your favorite a) Actor and b) Actress currently gracing the Broadway stage? And why?
They happen to both be together in the same show, in fact: Ian McDiarmid and Cherry Jones. The first time I saw Cherry Jones was several years ago, in A Moon For The Misbegotten and have been a huge fan ever since. As for McDiarmid, I'm just so glad he's finally getting his due (and the ever-so-slight Star Wars geek in me doesn't hurt). Largely, however, my choosing them has to do with their current performances. There's not too many actors or actresses with whom I'd say I'm obsessed. Now -- if we were picking the ones I enjoy looking at the most, it would probably be a history boy.
2. What was your favorite part of growing up in Texas?
The joy I got from leaving? There were a lot of things to hate about Texas, one of which is currently sitting in the White House, but I did like being close to my family, and I did have a lot of wonderful friends there. And -- it's a good place to satisfy my weakness for Latino men.
3. If you could spend the day with any celebrity, past or present, dead or alive, who would it be?
Mae West. I had an odd fixation on her as a kid. In fact, when we had to pick someone to do a biography on in junior high, I picked her. It was a lot more interesting than all the Leonardo da Vinci and Abraham Lincoln bios I had to hear.
And to peach:
At Starbucks, I used to get a tall soy latte. Now that I'm on a bit of a diet, it's always a tall skim cappuccino. Sadly, the espresso brownie is also off the list for me now. However, the Mud Truck usually supplies my coffee needs during the day. My favorite ice cream is the darkest, richest chocolate you can find.
