the day to day

Back in Berlin, and back to day-to-day life; U-bahns and S-bahns, English conversation lessons and stressful episodes at discount supermarket chain Plus. And of course, enjoying nights-in with my WG. Such evenings are usually composed of drinking Becks or Sternburg half litres, talking quatsch and playing UNO. If a bigger group of people are involved, my flatmate Samuel inevitably instigates a game of Murder in the Dark. Unlike the version I used to play as a child, which involved running around in the dark and loudly screaming victims, Samuel's version is a much more sedate game of words and shutting one's eyes at specific intervals. He takes great delight in narrating the grand tales of murder and deceit, laboriously describing the gruesome details of each crime. It's actually a great game to play with a group of semi-drunk friends, as it requires a lot of unsubstantiated finger-pointing and lying, which is often highly entertaining.
