* GameOfNerds: To be perfectly honest, I've never been a big sports guy (although I have read and enjoyed Creator/TheSportsGuy), but if I had to pick a sport it'd be baseball. Hands down. Between the slow pace and the vast history (I wrote a significant chunk of UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}}), it just makes sense to me. (Also: Go Tigers!)

* AmoralAttorney: What I hope to never be. Attorney, yes. Amoral, no.
* AppointmentTelevision: ''Series/MadMen'' since the first season. ''Series/BreakingBad'' when it was on the air. ''Series/GameOfThrones''. ''Series/DowntonAbbey''. ''Series/CallTheMidwife''. (Yes I'm a guy. Honi soit qui mal y pense.) ''Series/PeakyBlinders'' would be this when the next series airs, except it doesn't air on any American network, so I suppose I'll have to wait for Netflix....

* GrammarNazi: I once managed to bond with a senior partner over how "utilize" is an abomination and should never be used. Protip: never use it. I will change it to "use."

I'll watch anything with good acting and a decent plot--which has recently meant mostly British costume dramas, for no apparent reason. (OK, I'm a bit of an Anglophile.) Anything with a legal or political angle is also good, although to my embarrassment I haven't gotten around to watching ''Series/HouseOfCards'' yet. I was a bit of a science-fiction geek in high school (I read everything from ''Literature/EndersGame'' to PhilipKDick--the latter was a bit over my head) and watched a lot of ''Series/StargateSG1'', ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', and ''Series/BattlestarGalactica'' when I was younger. Since then I've branched out.

I also edit a lot of UsefulNotes pages, as I know altogether too much about everything. I'm also liable to edit anything which I see as not entirely accurate, and expand it by five or six sentences until the full nuances are completely articulated.
