My wife was out of town for work and a friend of hers had invited me to a party in his house. I knew what parties in his house were like, pizza, soft drinks and football talk. I really didn't want to go but I had no reason not to. Honestly I was dreading a boring night and spent the day trying to think of an excuse not to go but to no avail. My wife is always trying to get me to be more sociable and would have been very disappointed if I didn't go to her friend's party.
I was just getting ready to head out and get the metro to the other side of the city where he lives when I got a notification from HBO GO that Lemonade was now available. I called the friend and explained that a new Beyoncé visual album had just dropped and I couldn't possibly leave the house.
In my mind it was a perfectly socially acceptable reason to cancel plans and stay home. My wife did not agree but she isn't a Beyoncé fan.
