With my friends

Friday night was .... well, violent, in the sense that shooters and extreme fatigue don't really mix very well. Specially if it is a long and diverse set of shooters, with the usual B52 and Kalashnikov (see recipe here). I chose one called e-mail, and although it didn't taste of spam, it wasn't very nice either. I can also report that the one called Missile was predictably strong.

The best of the night was, of course, being with my friends again. They are what I miss the most from Lisbon, and it's such a feeling of joy and almost relief when I'm back among them. I do love London, and I've met wonderful people there, and made good friends. But when I'm back with this crowd I realise Lisbon is still home.

After yesterday's celebrations, my body dictated today wasn't a day for drinks. We focused on food and shopping then! Saturday night ended in a coffee house rather than a pub, having warm things like hot-chocolate and cinnamon crepes.

The week ahead has much in store, so I guess I'll have a nice quiet restful Sunday. Or maybe not...

meet acacio jeremias
acacio jeremias website

The great visionary Acácio Jeremias finally has a website of his own and it was designed by pap-L. Acácio is a hillarious character (born out of the twisted mind of Diz Que Disse's creator, André Toscano) intent on asking the questions no one has ever though about. While we wait for his book to come out, we can enjoy his video-podcasts (the title and credit sequences were designed by pap-L as well). The first one is just out, and a few more are on the way. So go there and have a laugh! (Sorry, portuguese only...)
