Buster Wolf!
It's been a funny old week.
There've been interviews, family meals, financial crisis, a cool T-shirt, lots of retro-gaming and then suddenly getting a job.
I had an interview at Coral, the bookies, and whilst it was by no means something I particularly wanted to do, it was certainly something I COULD do, and I got on well enough with the area manager that I thought there was a good chance. I was expecting to hear something from them by the end of the week, but as time wore on it became clearer and clearer that it wasn't gonna happen, and that I was gonna have to phone the people who'd advertised in the paper for cleaners... That was pretty much it then and there, game over, no money, the whole thing is fucked. Oddly at one point during the day I think I'd actually said "The Force will provide a solution" and then, Sunday night, out of the blue, the guy I'd done some driving for last year calls me, says he's heard I'm looking for work and could we meet up? By Monday night I'm a delivery driver again, and employed!
On top of all that I suddenly rediscovered my love for 2D beat 'em ups! There's been a lot of Capcom vs SNK, and of course much of the glorious Garou: Mark of the Wolves (from which the newly cool Terry Bogard appears, along with his young protege, Rock Howard!). It's entirely possible that only a video game character could look cool in what appears to be a jacket with a sheep skin collar, but then he is the Legendary Wolf...
There's been loads more that should be written but I just can't seem to find the focus (probably due to a lack of food that is going to become an increasing problem over the next few days until my first pay day), and besides I have fights to fight!
