More shameless self-promotion
Ok, get it out of the way... go here for my first honest-to-goodness interview:
http://www.brokenfrontier.com/lowdown/details.php?id=430
It's a two-parter, so if you go soon, you'll have to check back in on Monday for round two.
Kieron was just a swell gyuy all around. It was an email interview, which made my work easy. Type questions, send them, receive answers, cut and paste. I guess I should say I slaved over the article, but sometime's I'm honest to a point. Still, those questions... I fuckin' nailed those questions.
I ended up chatting him up a bit on IM later, and he may use one of my eamils in the letter page of the actual comic. I'll let you know if that turns out to be a true statement. Because, frankly, I won't shut up about it.
Today I have another conference call with Marvel Comics. If all goes well, I should have a summary typed up, and it may be posted tomorrow.
Ok, enough wanking off.
I know that some of you out there that read this page from time to time are probably rather happy with themselves that they still have a team in the world cup. Well, go right to hell, jerk(s). Germany was milking the clock and payed for it. They had already set their minds on going to a shootout that they forgot they have to finish overtime play first. dumbasses. I was very shocked and disappointed. The girlfriend - being italian - isn't quite as upset.
So, I guess I'll be pulling for France this weekend. At least I can say I know some people who live there.
Anyway... that's all for now

Wow, you have the two top articles that come up on the site. I'm glad the writing is going so well for you.
Yeah, they were the top two, only because I had submitted two at one time. Still I'm happy with the oppurtunity.
I have a question, which is going to sound completely rcist, but it's not meant to be: The French team has a lot of black players, is there a large black population in France? I really don't know the answer to this.
It doesn't sound racist...you're allowed to say 'black people'. :)
Yes and no. Most of the blacks that I meet in Grenoble are African, originally (not as most black Americans are African, but as in just made it over here). A lot of French-speaking countries in Africa=a lot of Africans in France due to immigration (mainly for educational purposes, then they stay).
Damien may answer this one differently, but to someone who grew up in the South and lived in a city where 80 percent of the population are African-American, no there aren't that many. In an average day I would say that 30 percent of the people I see are black.
Just my two cents.
