Sergio, Out!<\/h4>\n

After an uneventful, alien-less day at work, I received a call from Sergio, asking me out to dinner at the Pelican. “Fine,” I thought. \u00a0Maybe I should just give in and start dating this twerp. \u00a0He *was* the first person who’d talked to me when I arrived here, but he’s just so … so… Sergio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Fricken’ jerk. You’re dead to me, Serge.<\/p>\n

I paid the bill (thanks Sergio!), and went home to bed.<\/p>\n
