Law professor

Movie Theater

Yep. In high school it was cross country, track, and, of course, badminton.
4. What are your four favorite colors?
Right now, green and orange.
5. Coffee, espresso, latte, mocha, or frapp?
Espresso & black coffee. I'll also take a "true" macchiato if I think it will be made properly (espresso marked with a touch of foam; NO MILK).

Belle & Sebastian, Rilo Kiley, The Elected, Morrissey, and The Smiths.

8. If you ever played/play board games, which were/are your favorites?
Scrabble and, once upon a time, Risk.

These days I'm all doer. I used to be a thinker, but now I get paid to crank through work...
10. How many pets do you have and what are they?
One big fat cat called Olivia.
11. What do you fear most - sharks, snakes, or spiders?
Sharks

Didn't know your coffee prefs till now. Knew about spiders. Forgot about Axis & Allies when I was doing mine, d'oh! You need to visit Europe.

@jonathan:
Thanks for the description of a true macchiato. I was just asking someone what those were the other day. Any of the chains make decent ones?

@patty:
The last part of your #12 answer, LOL.

Oh yeah, I used to like bloody marys too, as well as very good champagne or a quality cab, then there were mudslides, Long Island iced tea, screwdrivers, 40 oz. malt liquor bottles during the lean times, or the ever popular "let me rummage through my liquor cabinet and refrigerator and throw together anything I can find that sounds remotely plausible." That last strategy led me to the discovery that Gatorade is not a good mixer. Thank you for letting me share that with you.
