Hello everyone,
I have returned at last. I am very sorry for anybody that might have found my absence upsetting, even though I do not suspect anyone did. In any case, I hope that you all can forgiee me for not posting for so long. I don't even have a decent excuse to fall back on. It just happened. It's one of several things I need to get back on track, another thing is my school work. 
I've just returned from the ever-so-jolly France. Good thing too, I was about to find the country upsetting once more. To those Americans that do hate France, let me tell you something:
First of all, if you want to hate the French, fine! I don't mind, but you have to nuance it somewhat. YUou see, in the northern and central parts of France, the people are by and large a bunch of jerks. There are exceptions, of course, but the general rule when visiting France is GO SOUTH. Of course this means you avoid Paris, which is mostly a good thing too, unless you're a culture guru. If so, the rest of France will offer you many possibilities also, though Paris has very extensive facilities to make your mouth water.
Oh, and of course, Paris will swallow your wallet before you realise it.
Anyway, the southern parts of France are choc full of people that would literally break their legs to help you. Seriously, any American that decides to hate France for whatevver reason, should visit the country and go to the south. If youdon't speak French, learn some basics. The fact is and will always remain that the French don't give a screwdriver about any other language but their own. It' just something you learn to live with. Other than that though, I challenge you to go there, come back, and tell me that the people weren't nice, nicer than your cousin in Alabama. If you don't have a cousin in said state, California might do for you. Did I mention I hate Sacramento for no reason other than the fact that they have a whining baskerball team? How lame is that! 
If you haven't grown tired of my rants yet, please read on.
I heard today that Michael Moore'sdocumentary scored big in Cannes. I'm dying to see it, I found Bowling for Columbine to be very informative and entertaining at the same time. I've heard mixed reactions to his newest movie, but I didn't expect any different. Anyone have any idea when it's supposed to be released?
David, if you're still alive and have not given up on me (brave soul), and if you happen to have a spot free in the Emocium Sports category, I would be more than happy to fill it. The NBA Playoffs are approaching crunchtime, and I've got pretty hot hands (keyboard-wise). Thanks.
Perhaps I should leave it there for now, and type more tomorrow. Don't sweat it, I shall return!
All the best,
Didier
