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 I quit watching ''Series/{{Suits}}'' a while ago--Firm Life has started to vaguely gross me out). I was a bit of a science-fiction geek in high school (I read everything from ''Literature/EndersGame'' to Creator/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 am also quite stereotypical in my love of Creator/KenBurns documentaries. Shoot me, I don't care--they're good.)

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.

!!Tropes
* AmoralAttorney: Haha, no. I am a lawyer, though.
* AppointmentTelevision: ''Series/MadMen'' and ''Series/BreakingBad'' when they were 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....
* BornInTheWrongCentury: I'm not entirely of this time, or at least so I'm told. I've been given suggestions from the 1860s through the 1950s as an ideal. I, personally, like having central heating, air conditioning, and a personal computer.
* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Have one. Not that I use it much. My friends do say it completes the look.
* DrPediaAndMrTrope: Yes, I'm on that other wiki. I do have to say, sometimes even Dr. Pedia is annoyed with TheOtherWiki's self-seriousness.
* ForeignCultureFetish: Like I said, I'm a bit of an Anglophile.
* 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.
* GrammarNazi: I once managed to bond with a boss over how "utilize" is an abomination and should never be used. Protip: never use it. I will change it to "use."
* RailEnthusiast: I do like trains. Not a trainspotter, though--I read a lot about transit networks and I like riding on trains. I have on occasion pored over Google Earth maps developing imaginary commuter rail and subway networks. Also, the useful notes page UsefulNotes/WashingtonMetro is one of my favorite creations.
* SerialTweaker: I'm well aware it's annoying, but sometimes I remember something I forgot to add. Or subtract. Or modify. Or whatever.
* SupremeChef: My friends tell me I cook marvelously. I don't entirely believe them, but I do enjoy cooking.
