My busy work schedule does not allow me the kind of free time I had back in the good old days of college (and even law school) but I do try to work out a few times a week. Tuesday nights are for grabbing a pizza and whatever new DVD came out that day. I also happen to be a huge comic book fan: Superman, Spider-Man, etc...don't laugh, it's good stuff. I think my love for these heroes and their constant re-enforcement of the concept that good should triumph over evil probably helped my decision to become a lawyer.
I'd like to meet:
New clients! You never know when you are going to need a lawyer. When I first signed up with AOL years ago, I was frequently IMed by people with legal issues. This seems like an even better way of networking.I'd also like to meet Rocky Balboa...oh wait, that already happened on December 5, 2006 at the movie screening in DC.And he even autographed my Rocky movie poster...thanks Sly!
Music:
Sinatra, either by himself or with anyone else, but especially with Sammy and Dean; Elvis Presley; any of the Motown groups; Billy Joel; The Four Seasons (Frankie Valli, not Vivaldi). Also, the soundtracks to the various productions of Evita (can't explain it.)
Movies:
This is hard to list, because I probably have over a hundred DVDs. Off the top of my head, Swingers, Fletch, Stripes, Animal House, the Rocky series, Eurotrip, Can't Hardly Wait, The Rat Pack (HBO movie), the Kevin Smith movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II), Waiting....
Television:
Present: Entourage; Curb Your Enthusiasm; Boston Legal; Smallville; Heroes; Law & Order. Past: Seinfeld; Larry Sanders; Married with Children; Saved by the Bell; Star Treks; Taxi; The Prisoner.
