Twenty questions.
- So tell me. what did you do today?
This morning I finished a reading from The Return of the Actor. By Alain Touraine.
- In Spanish?
Yes in Spanish. - What’s that about?
Not the slightest idea. - Hmm, well can you tell me why you read it?
It was for my class on social movements. with Maristella Svampa. - So you’re studying.
You could say that. - How’s that going, must be interesting to study in a foreign language.
Everybody says that. It’s not all that. - What else did you do today?
I did some work on a web page. Had a meeting with my ‘client’. - What is the page about?
About my client. He’s a painter. Artist, I mean, not walls. - Right. So, you’re living in argentina. You must like travelling?
Not really. Haven’t really been anywhere else. Hey, doesn’t traveling have one ‘L’? - How’d you end up in argentina?
It’s a long story. - Ok, we’ll get back to that. What about you? How would you describe yourself?
Laid-back. Committed. Dependable. Thoughtful. Focused. - I mean, how would other people describe you?
Right. uh, high-strung. skinny. superstitous. obsessive? maybe a bit spacey. - That’s enough, fine. Let’s change the subject. Your desert-island album?
You mean, my favorite CD? - Something like that. Didn’t you see High Fidelity?
Oh yeah. Maybe blood on the tracks. dylan. - Three books on your shelf right now?
A book of poetry by Roque Dalton. Globalization and the Decline of Social Reform. Cosmicomics by Italo Calvino. - Someone you look up to?
My parents. - Besides your parents.
Cheri Honkala. - Your sign?
Libra. Of course. - Money, love, or fame?
Love. - Any words of advice?
Uh, I’m not so good at this kind of thing. Everything always seems too cheezy. Could you give me a minute? - Certainly.
