geekdoms come first

So I've just almost started seeing this new guy, and he called yesterday at 9:15, and I, having just drank two glasses of wine after biking around all afternoon in the rain, said, without really thinking about it, "You called in the middle of House!"

I then slapped myself.

But he said, immediately, no pause, "Dude! Sorry! I'll call back after." (Okay, not the dude part.)

And he did. In fact, he waited until it was obvious that they weren't going to show scenes from next season and then, to the second, 'phoned.

This bodes so well that I am suddenly fearful the gods will be angry.
