The next few days were pretty relaxing. I spent the day catching up with some reading, writing and playing this game on miniclip.com called 'Zoikz'. The game is really crap but for some reason I got really addicted to it and couldn't stop playing it. Then I found out the Michael is addicted to it as well. I couldn't complete it, I always got stuck on the last level. It got to a point when I would waste hours playing it, what a waste of time when the weather is beautiful outside. It didn't take long before I got into a routine of waking up midday, having breakfast, playing Zoikz until lunch. Then watching the food network until dinner. I would occasionally help cook and with the cleaning. In the evening, Michael would get home, we would play some FIFA, drink some beers then watch some more TV. This pretty much went on every day. Kevin was in a band and they had an upcoming gig downtown on Saturday, so me and Michael went. We stayed round at Jen's apartment after it finished, it was a bit too late to get a bus or train home. Plus Michael (Mike as I will now refer to him as) had work in the morning. I got a lift up with Kevin and one of his friends, they were going to the drummers studio to practise before the gig. We had some lunch, I got to try Popeye's chicken for the first time. I was in New Orleans where every other fast food chain is a Popeye's and never had any then. Don't know why I left it until now but I did. It was okay, nothing special though, quite similar to KFC, but with slight differences. A little bit before Mike finished work, I left Kevin and the boys to rehearse and went off looking for where Mike was. I met him on the equivalent street to London's Oxford St. From there we went to a bar, there was a new complex with cool bars overlooking some busy streets. A place where you can go and watch people and the day go by. It was rather expensive though, that was the only downside to it, great view, nice drinks but not at pleasant prices. We had some beers, then realised that the cocktails weren't much more expensive but contained much higher volumes of alcohol. It made more sense to get some cocktails. We stayed for a few drinks. I had introduced Mike to this game called 'Farmyard Challenge'. Its a very simple game, one person draws a penis, the other person tires to turn that penis into an animal without it resembling a penis. If they are successful, they get to draw the penis and so on. I have been playing this game on and off for years, I doubt its anything to be proud of but its a good way to pass the time. I knew Mike would like it as he is very into potty humour. We were playing it for a few goes each when a couple sitting on a table opposite noticed. They couldn't see what we were drawing but could see us getting really into it and laughing a lot. One of them, a quite attractive young woman came over to have a look and ask us what we were doing. We explained the game, exchanged compliments, then we left as we were finished our drinks and game. We had to go to Jen's apartment to drop our things off. On the way, we stopped off at a Liquor store to get a few beers. I saw some English beer, Fullers ESB to be precise. I had to get it, I knew exactly what I was going to get and really fancied a nice beer. Jen had quite a nice place, in an apartment block near enough to the city centre, not a far walk from all the major sights. The time had come to go to the bar and watch Kevin's band.
