On Anna's site, there is a "journal" section where she shares her thoughts with fans. Here's a recent entry:
Anna K's Day Off
When I'm not playing tennis, most of my time is taken up with doing photo shoots and interviews. The rest of the time I like to lay by the pool and relax a little bit, maybe go the beach and read a book.
Reading
I like Russian classics, such as Chekhov and Tolstoy, which I read in Russian. I recently read War and Peace. [!]
Watching TV
I watch mainly sports programs on the TV. I'm not a particularly big fan of other sports but I will watch baseball and basketball and ice hockey. I don't go to the cinema. I'd rather spend my time curled up on my couch watching a movie in the house.
Hanging Out
There are a few tennis players living in Florida, who I like to hang out with. When I'm in Moscow I like to see family and old friends. Sometimes I'll go to the Bolshoi Ballet.
Resting & Relaxing
There are things that I do to relax my body like have a lot of massages and get treatment on different parts that hurt or are sore. I like to take afternoon naps whenever I can and I'm in bed by 10 p.m. most nights. [!] I chronically need sleep. I can sleep 12 hours a day and would sleep all day if I could. I don't have any holiday. All I get is a week in December and a week in July... then I'm usually in Miami. I'd like more time but the season is very, very long. It's year-round and it would be very difficult to stop for a vacation.
Working Out
I don't do too much work with weights, but I've done a little to rehabilitate from my stress fracture. I do a lot of cardio work and also use the medicine ball. I have an exercise video coming out in June so you'll be able to see everything I do to work out. Of course, I'm also out on the court taking practice groundstrokes.
Eating
My dad takes care of that. He knows what I have to eat. I have to eat pretty healthily high-energy foods like pasta and rice. I have to eat a lot of high-energy food to give me the power to run on the tennis court. I also really like sushi... salmon rolls, tuna rolls, California rolls. But I also like sweets, I like dessert. Like anyone else I'll eat a hamburger or something, but very rarely.
Anna recently read "War and Peace!" [coughs]

You know, I want to believe that, I really, really do want to believe it. But in saying that, I also want to quote Wayne in saying, "Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt."
Geez, we better hope the feminazi's don't find this thread. Here we are, all a bunch of gun owning, self reliant men who like pretty women. They'll be on us like stink on poo poo once they realize that their efforts to effiminize (if there is such a word) American males hasn't worked.
Whatever you do, don't look at the source URL!Ignore the white space to the left.
(Great job with the pictures!)
