Madge and Joe finished their drinks while flipping through books that Madge had carried in her purse. Joe was deeply engrossed in a copy of Home Furnishings of the 1970s and Madge was casually skimming through Mojo magazine when the waitress came by with the check.

“So now what?” Madge said pulling the book away from Joe who had been reading a section on wall-to-wall shag pile.

“Well, its Tuesday, and you know I like to watch sci-fi on Tuesday nights…” Joe said.

“Let’s go back to my place and watch Barbarella:Queen of the Galaxy,” Madge suggested with enthusiasm.

Joe groaned to himself. “I want to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey!“

“Again?!” Madge groaned.

“We can just skip to the good parts,” he suggested. Madge lowered her sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and gave him a look of complete annoyance.

“Have I told you that you’re a nerd lately?” She said with a smirk.

“Laugh all you want, Miss Queen of Kitsch, but I thought you found the nerd thing attractive,” Joe defended.
