frequent flyer card for Amy’s Ice Cream

Yesterday afternoon, I finally filled out a frequent flyer card for Amy’s Ice Cream. I think that rates as a major milestone in one’s life, getting all the little “one dish of ice cream” blanks stamped, signed or marked. I had just gotten done with some lunch with Bubba Sean, and I did a quick reading, and as fate would have it, the bookstore was just past the bank, so as long as I was depositing a check, I just shot right on over to the bookstore to find some new reading material. Maybe this is why I don’t get ahead in life, no sooner does the money hit the bank than I’m spending it on more reading material. As many of the pictures will show, I don’t usually expend a great deal of effort on clothing. I thought I was very good, I didn’t spend any more than I made. Although, I must admit, there’s a new version of a classic available in fresh translation, and I had a hard time resisting the urge for more books that make me look erudite. It’s also time to line up some good summer reading material — every one needs the literary equivalent of junk food. I couldn’t find any; however, I did encounter the soon to be famous Sagittarius Poet and we swapped stories while she was on break. But I think the real find of the day is Amy’s new flavor up on the board. It’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that a white boy like myself sticks pretty much to white boy food — means I much prefer Vanilla over Chocolate. But I did have to have a sample of this new flavor, a “hot and spicy” chocolate. I didn’t have any more than a taste test, but that stuff was incredibly good, (“oh right, like anything at Amy’s isn’t good?”) “Cajun Chocolate” is the name, and I’m pretty sure it’s nothing more than a Belgian Chocolate with a dab of cayenne in it. I will admit it’s just spicy enough to convert me to the strong stuff. Still doesn’t satisfy my need for some good summer reading list yet — that’s a quandary.
