September 19th, 2003

Just got in. Matt and
date staged a mercy kidnapping at the end of our interminable office
dinner; E and I were dragged out onto the streets of Houston for drinks
and fun. To our new friends: I’m sorry I wasn’t feeling well! Something
about the meal set off my stomach (Erin’s, too, though she wouldn’t admit it
until later), so I was my usual lame self, but (I think) we all managed to
have a great time anyway.

Aforementioned “date”, Alex, is charming and fun; she and Erin got
along winningly. Evidence: lots of excited chatter, shared shots of
something called an “oatmeal cookie”, and highly entertaining dance
maneuvers (in an otherwise deserted bar). I mean that in a good way.
I, on the other hand, demonstrated my legendary foot-tapping ability.
(Had I not designated myself the driver, I might have managed to become
self-unconscious enough to oscillate other portions of my body. Not
this time.) Anyway, Matt, in case you’re wondering, we
approve.
Not like you need our approval, but god knows you’ve
heard plenty of our disapproval.

Anyway. At this point, I’m just exhausted. And I’m getting up
early to take Erin back to campus tomorrow morning for more work stuff!
Yeha!
