I was looking through a pile of old postcards that I had written (to myself) the other day. This is always fun, because I tend to write very strange things on postcards and as a result they offer an unusual series of memories related to a certain trip when read years later.
For instance, I doubt I would have remembered that as a ‘thank you’ to Adam and Bernard for letting me stay with them in 2000 I gave them a (used) copy of Gun N Smith’s (the 2003 British Pipesmoking Champion) novel ‘The Sucking Pit’:
I’ll leave comments about the worth of this gift for a future time, and instead direct you to Guy N Smiths wikipedia page, specifically to read the notable quotes, specifically the one from ‘Carnivore’. It made me laugh aloud just now…
Just now I purchased SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters DS
This is a card-game for DS featuring characters from the SNK and Capcom universes. If that means nothing to you don’t worry, since this is one of the most otaku games ever released (certainly in America). It’s been almost eight years since I played the original version for the Neo Geo Pocket handheld (one of the most otaku game systems ever…) and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one. Of course…I won’t play it for a while due to the Pokemon frenzy I am deep in to.
