First of all, why are so many people at the movies on a Tuesday night? Don't you people have families to tend to or something? Good gosh, the theater was packed!
Okay, on to the movie. I should have been at the gym myself tonight. But a Freudian slip of the mind left me a gym bag with a tanktop, socks and no gym shorts whatsoever. So since I still had the rest of the night ahead of me, Q and I decided to go watch The Devil Wears Prada. The movie was *okay* and it held it's own, but the story was soo totally not like the book. I mean, the writers basically wrote a whole new storyline. They changed the characters around, made Andrea look like a total ditz when she's really not, and she so totally became a slut for about a minute (well it was really 6 hours in movie time).
Since we went directly to the movie after work, Q suggested Coldstone Creamery for dinner. Again, there was a bunch of people there. Shouldn't they be at home with their kids or something? It IS a weeknight. Anyhoo, there was about five people in line before us, and we waited patiently for our turn. Q was up first, so she gave her order and the guy behind the counter told us to go to the other side and he'll take care of both our orders.
Q: I want the to go "Mine" size of cake batter ice-cream, peanut butter and fudge.
Ice Cream Dude (ICD): "Mine" size? Are you going to be able to eat all of that? [takes two scoops of cake batter ice-cream and puts it on the slab and starts adding peanut butter and fudge]
Me: She's having a bad day. And you're making feel lots better.
ICD: Well, I'm glad I can make her happy.
Q: Oh, the "Mine" size allows for three toppings. Hmm, what to get....
ICD: Oh, get whatever you want, I'll hook you up.
Me: He'll hook you up, Q. Get whatever.
Q: Okay, can you put yellow cake in it too?
ICD: Anything for you. [gets MORE cake batter ice-cream and starts mixing in cake.] Oops, looks like I put too much ice-cream here. It's okay, if there's extra, I'll give you another container.
Q: Aww, thanks.
ICD: Just don't tell my manager.
Q: I promise.
ICD adds peanut butter to the mix and asks Q: Do you want to lick the peanut butter spoon?
Q: Sure!
Meanwhile, I'm trying to hold in my laughter because he is so totally flirting with us, well mostly her, but she doesn't catch on yet.
ICD: Here's your "Mine" pint and here's the extra ice-cream in another bowl. [looks at me] Now, what can I get for you?
Me: I want the same size as hers, but make it a Peanut Butter Perfection Madness.
ICD: Coming right up. [gets a ton of ice-cream, adds Reese's peanut butter cups and peanut butter] Do you want to lick the peanut butter spoon too?
Me: Sure.
ICD: So are you two like best friends or roommates or something?
Q: Yes, we are. Both.
ICD: Yeah? Roommates? What school do you go to?
Q: Umm [looks at me]
Me: We're...not...in..school anymore....
Q: Well, I am....you're soon going to be one...
Me: Well, we met in undergrad.
Q: Yeah, at Wellesley.
ICD: Where's that?
Me: Boston.
ICD: Are you both originally from here?
so right now, ICD is totally flirting with us both. I take a look at Q and quietly whisper "Are you showing your boobs or something? He's giving us a ton of ice-cream!" Q was not showing her boobs. We were both totally covered from head to toe, because you know, this is San Francisco summer.
Me: Um, I'm from Kansas and Boston. She's from South Carolina.
ICD: Oh okay. Hey, Nate here wants to be reassured that he's cute. Can you two just tell him that?
Q: All you, Q-Pig.
Me: Huh?
Nate [ICD's co-worker]: He's only saying that because he wanted to you know, indirectly, that he thought the both of you were cute.
Me: ha haha
Q: hee hee
ICD: Well, here's another pint of ice-cream and another extra bowl. You can eat this right here.
I start eating the cup of Peanut Butter Perfection and start moaning on the spot about how good the ice-cream was.
Me: Ohmygosh, this is delicious.
Q: Isn't it?
Me: You gotta some. Here.
And as I fed Q a spoonful of Peanut Butter Perfection, ICD guy totally blew his top. I think the other guys are staring at us now. Note to self: do not moan while eating ice-cream in public.
ICD: Wow.
Q: Here's a tip. Thanks for hooking us up!
ICD: Wow.
And we also got serended by ICD and the rest of the gang for giving them a tip. I'm pretty sure that was company policy though.
Q and I don't understand how we get hit on by totally random people. ICD guy was probably in high school, although he'll pass as an undergrad, but Q and I totally made his night by coming into the Coldstone Cremery he was working at. We will both probably be the topic of tomorrow's conversation at the lunch table.
Who knew a Blonde and an Asian makes such a hot combination. Is this some sort of fantasy for you guys? We need to take advantage of this combo.
Must now go confess to the Boy of the evening's festivities...
