magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

The delay of crossword puzzle and coffee kept me from getting rained on on the way to the library this morning. A few hours of homework. A little time procrastinating with the first volume of the collected Sandman. A few hours of work-work. In the evening, out to Trivial Dispute.

I had pretty much every intention of not drinking. If I win a shot round question, so be it. Otherwise no. I ended up winning the two last shot questions. One outright, one was not the answer they were looking for but had to concede that my answer was correct as well. Then, as it happened, my team managed to pull off a 2nd place finish. So my third of the $15 bar tab equalled another. Then Alex wanted one last one on the way out, and handed me one as well. Four all totaled.

I made a poor tactical decision on the way home, that, alcohol-wise, only resulted in one more drink (cheap beer), but also resulted in me chain smoking what was left of the pack of cigarettes that I had. I lost count, it was more than five, less than ten.
