1. At what age do you hope to be retired by?

-I quit my job today, after 3 years. Does that count? If not, well, I guess it's going to be a while...

2. What's the most interesting biography you've ever read (or for those with ADD, watched)?

-Too many to name. I'll throw out a documentary on the Netflix instant queue called "Dear Zachary". Not a biography, per se, but an incredible documentary.

3. If you had to be named after one of the 50 states, what would it be?

-I can't think of anything witty, so let's just say Ohio.

4. Name Christopher Walken's best performance?

-As mentioned earlier, the Hopper/Walken scene in True Romance was amazing. I'll say SNL's The Continental and that music video where he's dancing around.

5. Blue, green or brown eyes (Let it fly, boys)?

-Mine are greenish (and they're very pretty, or so I've been told ). If we're talking preference...I don't have one I guess. I guess I'll say brown.
