Weekend was good.
Friday: Enjoyment of fine jamaican foods. The restaurant was empty apart from ourselves, but that is perhaps for the best as the waiters were forced to enjoy our traditional rendering of HARPEE BURDAI. Saw

pkgem for the first time in months or longer. And alas! I didn't have her Christmas present with me. Oh well.

Saturday: Woke in

si_lloyd's bed. It was his spare bed, though he was in the bed next to me. I mean, the next bed over. His dearly beloved had been snoring drunkenly (like a delicate inebriated angel, next to a combine harvester of some description^[1]) and he decided the need for sleep outweighed the social stigma that comes of waking up in the same room as myself.

After a leisurely arousal period^[2] I proceeded into Bolton town to waste a few hours before

samharber's second party of the week, this time a zombie-related video evening at his place. The term "video evening" is something of a misnomer these days, as not only are most things on DVD these days but also do people have the tendency to natter rather than actually watch whatever happens to be on the screen, but the point stands. Zombie movies were played, and various people even adorned themselves with zombie makeup and tried to eat other people's brains, which would have been all well and good except that the makeup was still wet. Fake blood does not shift any easier than the real thing. On the plus side, later there was much hugging, and most of it didn't cause stains.

Sunday: Awoke at

richc and

ajon's house, alone. Sigh. After another leisurely arousal period^[3], wandered over to Sam's place to watch Jarhead a-cinema. Which I found to be entertaining, though not exactly anything new in the "war is hell" field. Still, it did manage to drive home that the greatest enemy in modern warfare is boredom.

Proceeded home and watched new episodes of Lost and BSG with

stsquad. Crikey Mary.

Then I went to bed etc.

[2] Not that. There was breakfasting and some watchage of television.
