Lawyer cum nerd cum coffee addict cum professional side-burn sporter cum angry black man.
That last one ain't true.

I'm married-ish (recently seperated/divorcing--it's awesome :/ ) so right now I'm just looking for friends for friend-like activity. You know, drinking, playing board or card games, and then drunkenly accusing the other of cheating and waving a knife around. And concerts and parasailing and amateur surgery contests.

I recently moved to Chicago (in August or so) from Bloomington, IN, and due to certain recent life events (mostly asteroid related), I am moving BACK to Bloomington at the end of March. I'm like a shark, I have to constantly keep moving and, just like a shark, I'm keeping U-Haul's stock high.

Law! Working to set criminals free! Suing other people! Suing criminals! Setting other people free!

I read far too much philosophy for my own good.

Getting other people out of trouble, in an amusing and blunt sort of way. I.e., "if you confess, I'm elbowing you in the throat." I'm also very good at scrambling eggs and steaming mussels.

I'm also really good at medically diagnosing common problems, like gaping gunshot wounds to the chest or the horrible disease of being dead.

I assume it's going to be the ginger hair that I tend to let get too shaggy and poofy (which is good for hiding my soullessness...which I guess is only apparent on the top of the scalp).
Also, if I'm wearing short sleeves, it would be Thelma, the topless hula girl I carry with me on my arm.

Books (which will be focused on authors instead of titles): Hemingway, Phillipe Claudel, Albert Camus, Umberto Eco, Margaret Atwood, Michelle Houelluebecq, Victor Hugo, P.G. Wodehouse, David Sedaris, Thomas Asbridge (for Crusades stuff), Salman Rushdie, Cormac McCarthy.

Movies: In thinking about it, I'm not sure I have many favorite movies. The Big Lebowski, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Jackie Brown... I'm blanking beyond that.

Shows: Breaking Bad, Futurama, Top Gear, soccer (which isn't a "show," per se, but it's on television so it counts), Portlandia.

Food: Larb, coffee, gyros, coffee, schwarma, coffee, roast chicken, and coffee.

Music: Beirut (the band, not the city), The Darkness, Foxy Shazam, Florence & the Machine, Tom Waits, Cocorosie, Amanda Palmer.
Subcategory of British Invasion bands, in order of Awesomeness: The Kinks, the Who, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles.

1) Coffee (see above);
2) My cats and dogs;
3) Cigarettes;
4) There is no item number 4;
5) Drinking cider while watching soccer (go City!); and
6) the smell of old books.

So much time spent thinking about work, thinking about things I need to file, things to say to juries, things I should have said to juries, etc.

Also I like to imagine that one day I will be imbued with the powers of Magneto and/or the Incredibly Hulk and the world will tremble before me.

Seriously, if I develop super powers, you have about ten seconds between me learning I have a super power and me becoming a super villain. Plan accordingly.

Doing various activities.

I invented the potato, but let Walter Raleigh take the credit. I'm generous that way.

You appreciate worthless, cheesy jokes; you like coffee (see above); and you dig sideburns.
