Week at its end.

So, it is the end of the week again. Time to toss stress aside and enjoy the few days off offered us by the capitalist big machine. A few days of skipping on the fields makes a happy and efficient worker.

This weekend is bound to be cool again. Today's plan is to head for TsimShaTsui to get wasted like never before, and tomorrow I get to hang around a nice and cute girl again. Life is sweet right about now.

I haven't yet solved my budget problems yet but I should come up with something. I have plenty of money on my creditcard but since I don't have the pin-code here, I can't take out cash from ATM's. And without cash, I'm left at the mercy of shops that actually accept creditcards (mine being Diner's Club which is hardly accepted anywhere).

Sweet.

Well, at least I still have a few kilos of rice back home so I won't starve to death.

Okay, back to issues at hand.

Beer.

Beer is the greatest human invention. Ever. The Japanese engineers came close to beating it when inventing the Dakimakura. However, their invention only gets to second place, while beer's title is still left unshaken by challengers.

"A Dakimakura is a kind of large pillow from Japan. The name means "hugging pillow"; they are similar in shape to body pillows in the west.

Some Dakimakura are imprinted with a picture, usually a young woman in the anime style."
- Wikipedia

Yes, aside from a pillow that looks like an anime character, or a some other nice lady - in real size - beer has never been challenged credibly and is the best thing ever. To the surprise of many people, I intend to drink beer tonight. I will drink it not too much, but just enough to make me "that special kind of drunk, that you're a better driver because you know you're drunk. You know the kinda drunk that you probably shouldn't drive but you do anyway, because... come on, you gotta get a car home, right, I mean what do they expect me to do? Take a bus? Is that what they want? For me to take a bus? Well screw that! You take a bus!" - Peter Griffin

High expectations for this weekend. No matter what, it will be fun. Weather forecasts say it won't rain, it'll be sunny and it will be warm! No Typhoons either. Huzzah!!

I don't really have much to write now. I'm too set for the weekend already. Maybe more on Monday. Now I'm off. Below a picture of a Damimakura:
