Been reading. One of the perks of being in the media is browning noses with publishers, and I've been fortunate enough
to land a hard-to-find copy by a book by one old (92 and counting) geezer; Mr Studs Terkel. If his name alone ain't cool

I know a guy who collects old video games. Every time I see him, he proclaims loudly the latest archaic 1980's goody
he's picked up, or if he hasn't found any, he reiterates how his collection of NES games now stretches around his
mantelpiece. And he has some good fuckin' games, man. He's got Digger T-Rock. He's got fuckin' Excitebike. Thanks to my
diligent digging styles, he's even got his very own Super Nintendo, which, in addition to (infamously) being the basis
for something Sony made a minor impact with a whiles back, is unquestionably the Best Games Machine Ever.

I have been ill and the quality of my thought processes is degraded. The pressure from my sinuses and the swollen glands
in the back of my neck appears to be preventing me joining up ideas in any satisfactory manner.
So when I say that I feel some thematic connection between my personal attitude to the Lower Hutt produce market and
sweatshops, you might have to bear with me.

At Fighting Talk we're pretty brazen about self-publicity. As a twentysomething with very little gold and no pager, I
consider it practically my duty to namedrop myself whenever possible. But when I do so, I'm open about it.
