[Chan790]

22. Answers!

1.) The one with the quinine, sugar and hopefully gin in it. I think it's called tonic.

2.) Guacamole or Olivio or homemade smashed fruit.

3.) I never want to get old. So...60.

4.) I had a gig as a reviewer/critic of MMO games for a semi-major gaming web-log. My editor didn't like my criticism of WoW as Blizzard was a major sponsor/advertiser. What's funny is that I've received praise from Blizzard staff for my cogent analysis of the faults of their game. Most were considered. Some (that by trying to make a product that appeals to everybody, it is perfect for nobody. It's not in-depth enough and free-form customizable for hardcore gamers and the learning curve is very-steep for casual gamers) have been noted and dismissed.

5.) Well, I celebrate May Day. That was yesterday. My mom's birthday is next month. I'm finishing up my first salable film script. It's very Euro-indie, I'm trying to lean on people in the film industry to get it on the desks of the decision-makers at Studio-Canal. It's not American enough to be made by a US studio even though it's set in Manhattan and is completely in English.

[Lucian]

24. Okay

1. What kind of water do you most like to drink?
Any water filtered through my Brita water filter.

2. What do you like to put on your toast?

3. If you could decide, how long would you decide to live?
For all eternity. I want nothing but immortality.

4. Are you a big critic on anything in particular?
No.


5. Are there any big events coming up in your life this month?
Not that I know of...
