MOTD
Our night on the town got off to a troublesome start last night, as one of our friends was already drunk from the get-go. Luckily, said person is not an annoying drunk and seemed to sober up during the course of dinner, only to get drunk again after a few glasses of wine.
Anyhow, no specific plans for this weekend, so today will be spent doing some minor errands, watch lots of movies/TV series and squeeze in some gaming to mix it all up. Sounds good, right?
