I can see no way in which this can go wrong.

City got 3 points though.

I spent the evening at home with my partner and we played Mario Kart Monopoly. 10/10 would do it again.

Happy New Year, you lot!

Uh oh - what went badly, if you don't mind sharing?

The colleague is a gaming nerd, and we kind of hoped that his friends would be too, so we'd have things in common. Unfortunately his friends were a group of Japanese people with debatable English, who kind of banded together around a table in the room so it was hard for us to get an 'in'. The rest were his housemates' mates and were a gamut of blokey blokes, girly girls, and one woman who talked at us for fifteen minutes about bands she'd seen without seeming to see the problem. They all knew each other, so in between there were silences as we kind of hung around, not knowing who to go talk to next and feeling awkward.

Therefore I got anxious, and I drank. A lot. The hangover the morning after wasn't the hangover of a good night well spent: it was the soul-crushing nausea of a night wasted. I'm still sleepy.

Yep, I've been at parties that sound like that before. I've also been there with the copious drinking to get through it, too.

That sort of thing doesn't happen to me much, as I am the party.

That said, I had a pretty chill new year. I walked down to Tokyo Tower, joined the big countdown, then went back to my hostel and went to sleep so I could make the most of moving on to Kamakura the following morning.

Happy New Year guys! Let's hope this year quickly improves on what's already happened in Australia and Iran...

Look on the bright side, things can't get much (is jumped en masse by the Screenwriters' Guild before finishing sentence)
