I had a mad night on the town last night. I first of all had an argument with my wife because I tried downloading those Horizon documentaries again and the computer has once again died. It wasn't my fault though. The computer said it had 50GB of memory remaining, so I thought 'let's be safe and only download half of that'. One day later I had all my documentaries, but then the computer refused to start up again. So, I was in the doghouse for that. I protested my innocence in the matter, but she was having none of it and went into one of her rages as she was unable to watch her drama due to constantly trying to get the last word in. After deflecting most of the punches with my best Floyd Mayweather shoulder roll I said "Fuck this, I am going out!". She even tried to mess my hair up and then locked me out. I was now homeless too. All fun and games in the world of miles!

And so I was off out with no idea where to go nor what to do. I had not arranged anything so had to go for a night out on my own. I got in a taxi and went downtown. It was only about 6pm and was a bit early to drink so I went to a PC room and wrote up a very entertaining account of the actual argument I had, but the bastard computer wouldn't let me post anything. I frittered away a couple of hours and then realised that I had a thirst. I went to the Wa-bar as I thought I might bump into some foreign company. It was pretty busy, but alas no people who could speak my language. I stayed at the bar drinking beer and eventually got chatting to a Korean guy who spoke pretty good English. We discussed all sorts of things, but distinctly recall us going through our reasons why we don't like Metallica. Good stuff. He works at the DMZ zone and has offered me a discounted visit whenever I want to pop up. I turned to the whisky and coke and finally a foreign person came in, but it was a girl and generally speaking I find it hard to talk to women I don't know. I am actually quite a shy person. Plus she was American.

I then moved on to another bar that I used to know, but it was completely dead. The bar staff were really friendly though and one spoke pretty good English. We talked about corrupt Korean presidents for about 20 minutes which was quite nice. I couldn't stay there as the whisky and coke was too pricey. About 12 US dollars. Admittedly it was a strong concoction, but ten of those can make you bankrupt.

And so I moved on to Bar Nana in the faint hope that I might find a familiar face. And I did! Mr Oh was there and he is always really friendly and I also met an old Philipino friend who used to play in a band several years back. I also met some student from Saudi Arabia. He kept trying to cheat at pool, so I found him a bit annoying in the end. I had been drinking beer and whisky for several hours and was really struggling with the pool, it didn't help that I hadn't played in about a year.

In the end we all went to a barbecued pork restaurant and drank soju. That stuff is toxic, but when you are drunk you just can't say no. I eventually tottered off to the bathroom and then on the way back to our table tripped on a step and on trying to balance myself put my hand right on the middle of the barbecue grill. I could practically smell my flesh cooking and it was extremely painful. And so that is how I cooked myself. Today my finger tips have blistered up and typing this doesn't feel so nice. The skin is all leathery. Quite messed up.

I finished the night in a park at 4am with a load of other drunk people. I think I was debating something with a bunch of university students who really didn't speak much English. I recall being there quite a while and eventually decided to try and go home at the break of dawn. Luckily for me, my key worked okay.

And so a day in bed and the silent treatment at home. I went out for dinner at McDonalds and I'm now back in a PC room trying to kill some time whence this rather rambling and pointless posting.

Have any of you done anything stupid whilst drunk? I think trying to cook my hand was one of the more stupid things I have attempted to do.
