Following my usual “Sleep at 4, wake up 12 hours later” schedule, I was merrily dreaming about the lone bullet in my sniper rifle when I was rudely awakened by my cousin, who wanted me to accompany her to the PG where she’ll be staying. After an hour of rolling on bed, when salvation was just a foot away, my bro shakes me awake again. I gave up all hopes of getting back to sleep and tried to carry on with my day. But 3 weeks of not seeing the day before noon can have adverse effects, the TV was boring, the newspapers just seemed to drag on, the PC was out of bounds and to top it all off, my head was hurting. After an hour of forcing myself to   that was printed around me, I fianlly found salvation in my MP3 player. An hour of Decapitated, Dying Fetus and Meshuggah was enough to liven up my senses and I was back on track(almost…). Then Mr L calls up and invites me over for some old school Age OF Empires 2 combat. Here is where the fun begin. 4 players + 1 ORIGINAL CD(practically unheard of in these piracy stricken lands) was something that would not work out. Then Mr L came up with the revolutionary idea  of creating an image of the play disc and burning it into 3 different discs and carrying on with life. 3 failed attempts yo install nero later, we FINALLY managed to conjour up an image we so desperately sought, ONLY TO FIND  OUT THAT THE IMAGE WAS OF THE WRONG GAME ALTOGETHER.  So we ended up with 3 discs which were of absolutely NO EFFING USE! But as fate would have it, I found an ancient CD with the game in it buried under a heap of all the “backup” DVD’s I made(most of them scratched beyond recagonition now). With glee in our hearts we hopped from cafe to cafe hoping for a seat but there were none. FINALLY after securing  seats and installing the game, it goes kaput and we are left back at square one. An agonizing hour of counter strike passed and we all carried on as though nothing ever happened. This waa followed by an hour of roaming about, football and finally a trip to a friends place, where I plan to spend the rest of the night. The only thing   from today is, DONT rely on original CD’s(and that nero can be unforgiving if you;re incapable of using it properly).
