Ben and Jerry's Orange and Cream ice cream kicks ass. Not that you care, but I do. I tend to like my ice cream to be more cream and less junk, where the B&J idea is more junk and less cream. This was brought home to me when I was in Tulsa last weekend and had lots of Blue Bell (oh, I miss Blue Bell), which is the far superior ice cream for my style of ice cream consumption. Not that you care, but I do.

Anyway, didn't do a whole hell of a lot this weekend. Spent most of yesterday being a huge ball of slack, topping it off by watching the "Office Space" DVD. Didn't realize until last night that the guy who plays the restaurant manager (Stan) is actually Mike Judge. It's a good movie to watch when you're demoralized about your job, as am I.

Today was spent with some idle cleaning and lots of procrastination, then around 5 I got a call from Ann, and we came up with a final idea for today's (tonight's) date. We met at City Lights for dinner.

I'd asked Ann for her birth data so I could do her chart, and she insisted that I tell her all about it tonight. So I did. I brought along printed copies of her chart and mine (not that the charts do her a whole lot of good). It was entertaining, but more than a little awkward. "Oh, and here it says that you didn't have much of a supportive framework at home when you were growing up." "How does it know that?" "And it also says that you shouldn't try to get married until you're at least 30." (moot point)

I kinda feel like this is unfair. I know what her chart means and she doesn't know what mine means. She did say she has a cow orker who does astrology so I told her to take my chart by and let her cow orker have a crack at it.

So we ended up going to Teaism after we were finished with dinner, and we talked a bit more, and we're planning to get together again, but don't know when. She's going out of town over Memorial Day weekend, so the date of the date is as yet unknown.

It did go well. Yay. Good second date. :-)
