Rational Action

Jesse and I took a road trip to Brown University yesterday. Somehow we completed the drive in under three hours (Early estimates center around 2.5 hours, which is simply amazing.) Once we got into the dorm, we opened the wine bottles and began the festivities, Hemingway style. Err. Scratch that. Not quite Hemingway style — the wine was cheap.

Starting to drink at 6pm has its disadvantages, though. Since the brews were on the grapey side (read: wine), they required an unusually high liquid intake rate to maintain intoxication. Around 9pm, Kroll put down his bottle of wine in despair, announcing “I’m not going to get fucked up off this shit.”

We killed time for the next few hours. Then I, noting that Ethan had bailed on visiting us, jokingly suggested that we visit him at Brandeis. Everyone liked the idea. Kroll volunteered to drive. I gave Ethan a call to announce our coming arrival.

Me: WE’RE COMING TO BRANDEIS!!!
Ethan: What?
Me: WE’RE COMING TO BRANDEIS ETHAN!
Ethan: Uh? You Sure. Okay…

We took the top of a pizza box and wrote “GONE TO BOSTON” on it, placed it outside the room that housed Lance and Rachel, and set off.

We arrived 45 minutes later, stayed for 45 minutes, and drove back to Brown.
