Playing Civilization IV online, on a Friday night.

That's right. None of my mates are about, or I'd be down the pub. I've been working on the same tune every evening after work since Monday, so I'm gonna give it a break tonight. Which leaves me with very few options. If I was smoking pot at the moment, I'd probably watch an old Jackie Chan movie I got the other day (Snake In Eagle's Shadow, if anyone's interested).

As it stands, I'm not, so I'll be doing something just a little bit more involving. And that, unfortunately, is playing Civilization IV on a Friday night.

Unless anyone has any better ideas? Or is in Cambridge, UK, and fancies a pint? I just don't want to resign myself to being a slave to Sid Fucking Meier just yet (though I have a feeling it's pretty inevitable).

Come to think of it, if anyone from the UK replies to this topic, then they'll be spending their Friday night on Planet Z (which, though not as bad as playing Civ, is pretty sad).

Any ideas?

You can spend the whole evening blogging about someone else's blog post.

Played Civ 4 for a few hours.

Lost terribly (first civilization to go, in a 7-player game. D'oh!)
