1. What names did you consider for your blog?

None. I had/have another blog that I have stopped posting to, and it had a crappy name. When I started the whole law-school-application-nightmare I wanted a place to chronicle it all, and I wanted it to be more long-term, so I spent some time coming up with a name I actually liked. I wasn’t clever enough at the time to come up with a clever Latin name or even a name that was law-related but this name is unique at least and I really like it.

2. What is your favorite adult beverage and why?

If the options were always good, I’d drink wine all the time. In the absence of good wine selections, I’ll choose a good beer; in the absence of good beer, I’ll take a vodka tonic most of the time and an Irish Whiskey some of the time.

3. If you could cancel 3 televisions shows, what would they be?

Urm. I don’t know. Daytime TV sucks, so there are a few of those shows I’d can. Most primetime sitcoms are wretched also, so I’d get rid of a few of those, too. And then I’d toss all the shows on the Food Network that aren’t actual cooking shows. I don’t really like those “all about cookies/barbecue/soda” shows.

4. You’ve been asked to host SNL. Which cast would you choose to work with, and who would you choose as the musical guest?

I’m torn between the early cast—Gilda, Jane, Bill, Belushi, et al—and the great early 90’s cast—Phil, Kevin, Farley, Rock, et al. Maybe I’d mix and match those groups, and throw in Farrell because he rocks. (NB: I saw a guy at the airport yesterday wearing a shirt that said “More Cowbell” on the front. I want one!) As for the musical guest, it would need to be someone fun and funky—none of this standing-at-the-microphone and singing soulfully stuff. Contemporarily, even though I am not a huge fan, the Black Eyed Peas would probably be fun (and I’m sure they’ve been on, though I don’t really watch anymore so I can’t say for sure). I really don’t know.

5. What will Britney Spears name her baby and which three names will she consider and reject before settling on the “winner”?

Oh, honey, you are going to get flak no matter what you name this poor child. If it’s a girl, I say she tries for clever and cute, but then ruins it by adding something to the end. So, like, Gaia-Lynn. If it’s a boy, the poor thing will end up being called Devan or Mykall or Rian. I hate alternate spellings of normal names. Poor Brit-Fed spawn.
