10:45

10:45 Sunday night, I call Dave.

Me: Should I go out?

Dave: I’m in. At home I mean.

Me: Why?

Dave: Do you want to go to Hiro?

Me: I don’t know. Maybe.

Dave: I can be ready in 20 minutes.

Me: Twenty minutes?

Dave: Oh, come on! Like we don’t go out this late on Tuesday nights!

Me: No. I should stay in.

Dave: Why?

Me: I’m behind on, like, two writing assignments.

Dave: Do you really think you’ll get any work done tonight?

Me: I’m feeling restless.

[silence]

Dave: You still there?

Me: I’m looking at myself in the mirror to see if I feel sexy.

Dave: Yeah?

Me: I feel sexy.

Dave: Ok?

Me: Ok. Lets go.

Dave: Really?

Me: I’m committed.
