How did you meet your best friend(s)?

We were in school together, probably aged about 6 or 7. He had a NES. I had a Sega Master System. I said something to him along the lines of "hey, I heard you have a Nintendo. Wanna play?"

I would sleep over at his place and we rented games for the NES, staying up late playing. Good times.

I have since aquired my own NES but we've stayed very close friends, loving many of the same things; music, classic gaming, design and fashion among other things. Today we have a band together.

I had too much coffee yesterday.

Every monday I hang out with the other member of my band, Hestene. Our steady ritual goes like this: We have dinner, a couple of beers and a cup of coffee or two and then we just hang out and write songs, goof around with the instruments or just plain goof around.

I don't know what happened yesterday. I hadn't had any coffee all day (I didn't have any classes yesterday and I mostly drink coffee when I'm working). So when we had had dinner I drank a lot of coffee thinking that I would be really productive, not having done much all day and all.

It didn't do anything. We wrote a simple drum'n'bass track and recorded a goofy cover version of The Model by Kraftwerk. My productivity yesterday was near an all-time low. Until I got home, that is.

That's when I cleaned up the comment spam on my podcast, blogged about it, listened to Zombie Nation on my iPod while reading Ulrich Beck. All this at 2:30 in the morning. I didn't go to bed until 4:30 but somehow I wasn't even tired when I got up at 9 today.
