Sometimes you wake up, open your emailbox and feel like it is a good day starting. It was exactly the kind of mood I was in, when I saw that Ican answered the interview. I was so happy to have such an exotic artist joining the blog, that I couldn't wait no longer before onlining his text. But the craziest part of my day was still to come, when I begun to read its answers, I couldn't help me laugh at each line.
