Friday

20:00 I consider staying at home all weekend watching DVDs, eating mashed potato and caviar and drinking champagne.

22:00 One of my flatmates offers to run down to Berlin Burger International. The BBQ burger is off the fucking charts and I won’t be able to drag myself out of this Gmail-Facebook-YouTube cycle just yet.

23:59 Let’s face it, I’ll go down to Kleine Reise until the sweet bitter end.

Saturday

11:00 I get up and go to the Croissanterie or get someone else to go down there.

15:00 I’ve spent the day catching up on sports, so I’ll have a delicious baked potato lunch at Carik Kuruyemis.

20:00 I eat myself silly at Maria Peligro, where the waitresses are as tasty as the Mexican dishes.

22:00 Begin a wholehearted foray into the Kreuzberg-36 Bermuda Triangle with a stop at Luzia for a round or two of drinks.

23:00 Farbfernseher for a round or two of drinks.

00:00 Kleine Reise for a round or two of drinks.

Sunday

12:00 I go to Panorama Bar and retreat to the bar where I leave my jacket on until it makes people uncomfortable; wait for some 40-somethings to try and pick me up. Flee. Rest of the day: sleep!
