saturday

on saturday i had to work, but people at work were having a party afterwards, of which i was invited. so brittany and i went over to 3 of my co-workers who just moved into a flat together's place and then we went out to a club called medina.

it was a lot of fun to hang out. and had the opportunity to try 'drinking scotland.'

scotland in drink form is apparently buckfast. in a sense, for the neds (read chavs for those of you familiar with the english term)

buckfast (because i know you all are wondering) is a tonic wine originally made by benedictine monks that has a super high caffeine content.

[go here for some more buckfast joy]

in fact today in the metro paper i was reading how they want to ban it because of it's ridiculous caffeine-ness. but anyway, i guess now i can say that i've tried drinking scotland.

medina was cool. good dj which is important. and gareth (from work) knows somebody which means half price entry (yes, normally i rebel against paying anything, but i'll handle two pounds fifty entrance) and a table.

and i have to say that since we took the bus to nikki/kal/amanda's place and a cab from their place to the club, i am pretty impressed that i was able to orientate myself upon exiting the club by recognizing the name of the perpendicular street to know exactly where in the city (AND walking distance home) we were. awesome.
