It's Friday. Time to slough off the crackling dead skin of the corporate drone and be reborn as a nascent gamer, dripping with the fluid of enthusiasm.

Usually, I sort of do this post and ramble on about what games I'll be playing. But I doubt I'll be playing any this weekend: I'm galavanting off to the Netherlands early next week, and there's fungus in the apartment that needs scraping, lest it overtake my house while I'm gone.

The extent of my gaming may very well be practicing my more bitching licks on Guitar Hero. I'm bringing it as a host gift to my friend in Rotterdam, and I have visions of impressing my friend's constabulary of attractive female drop-bys by an impromptu, bad-ass acing of "Take It Off" on Expert.

You? Florian Eckhardt
