Friday Night

I've got a plan. I've checked my bank account and I have exactly $63.19 to last me the next twelve days. I'm not exactly sure how I will divvy up all that money but I know how I will spend a very small percentage of it this evening. I will go to the corner marker and pick up two 40 ouncers of a beverage of my choice. I'm sure the price range doesn't vary too much between brands of that specific quantity. And I'm sure my selection will be fairly minimal as well. Not that I am picky. I will probably barely care. It will certainly make making a decision that much easier. I will take these products to the register and if the total cost comes to $5 or less I will pay for them in cash. This is because I only have five bills in my wallet. All five with the face of George Washington. If the total cost comes to more than $5 than I will have to pay with my debit card. I will take these beverages of my choice to my humble abode and will take one of them to my bedroom immediately. The other I will place inconspicuously in the refridgerator and hope that no will notice it before I can get to it. I will go back into my bedroom and turn on my XBOX and will not leave until I conquer Splinter Cell other than to go to the bathroom or to get the other 40 ounces of beer. I am not exactly sure how long I have until victory, but I imagine upon completion I'll want something to eat. I am thinking about spaghetti but I might have to settle for rice. I'm not interested in being particular this evening so I'm not really concerned about what I eat, just so long as it satifies. I'd also like to somehow ensure that I do all this uninterrupted by my roommates. So much so that I might even have to turn down whatever it is that they might be cooking for themselves for dinner this evening. I don't know if I have the willpower to turn down a free meal if offered though. But I know the acceptance of the meal would mean at the very least having to converse with them possibly even being with them past the end of the meal if they decide to stay in the apartment as well this evening. And that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. Any extra time spent with the roommates is time I would rather have for Splinter Cell. And I do believe every second will be absolutely necessary if I am planning on being victorious this evening.

Well, of course you would use other means to pay for the beer.

So did you turn down the dinner?
