What is the next...

Purchase you’ll make?

Gifts for everyone from UrbanPeel

Trend in design?

Flat-pack furniture. Hey -- I predicted that twee little deer would be in! Do not doubt my home decor kung fu.

Car you’d like to own?

I hate all cars.

Big step you’d like to make?

Getting my MBA from MIT.

Fad that will fade?

Those twee little deer. Thank God.

Vacation you’ll take?

I was thinking Guadaloupe? I've been wanting to go for a while, and I've heard that no one there speaks English, which would be a welcome relief.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

Hillary.

Secret that’s going to leak?

That two people I work with are dating.

Hollywood blockbuster going to be about?

Something blowing up.

Life you’ll lead?

Hindu ascetic (instead of American aesthete).

Fountain of youth?

Turtles. See the story in the Times if you don't believe me.

Book you’ll read?

Philip Roth's <i>The Dying Animal</i>. A friend gave it to me with the qualifier that it was a perfect look into the male psyche. Should be scarier than <i>The Shining</i>.

Thing that will change the world?

Same thing that always changes it: Guns, Germs & Steel.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Starbucks...Mmmmmm over-priced crappy latte, why do you thrill me so?

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

My mom.
