magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

At the end of the work day it almost looked as if Caitlin.M and I might be getting dinner together. That's something that I haven't really done with people from work, except in a work-outing sort of environment, or in a couple-of-drinks context. But she went to yoga. And I ended up getting a couple of drinks with other people instead.

Ended up feeling sick later at home. Martinis don't count as dinner.

Left voicemail for Marisa. Watched TV.

Marisa called back. 'I'm afraid I sound weird,' she tells me. 'I've been drinking.'

By this point my drinks have worn off. I've pretty much forgotten that I've even had them. Still no dinner though. 'Well, I feel as if I might sound weird as I rushed to answer the phone while trying to floss something out from between my teeth.' A popcorn kernel as it turns out, from who knows how long ago.
