My blind date was interesting. For the first part of the day Adam and I were with Karen and her boyfriend Nathan; who was very abrasive and a self-proclaimed jerk. So that set the day off on an odd note. Wandered through Chinatown, went to a Starbucks and then went back to Karen's place. We dropped Nathan off and we three ventured out on our own. We went to a church bazaar that had some neat little trinkets and some cool purses made out of books and old board games. We drove down to Hawthorne Street and did some more wandering. Lots of hip stores and weird things on sale. There's a Coldstone exactly across the street from a Ben and Jerry's. Tough competition. We went to the Baghdad for lunch, it took them a while to get our drinks but not so long to get our food. The sandwich was decent but needed to be toasted. My hot cocoa came from a packet.
After Hawthorne we dropped Karen off at Lloyd Center (where she works) and went to see a movie. Nothing was playing in the Mall's theatre at a good time so we went to the adjacent one. The only one playing right at the time we were there was Dan in Real Life (Dane Cook AND Steve Carell, bleh). Actually it was a little better than I expected but still overall, not that good. Any sense of real emotion came in small little amounts, but I guess the main surprise came from me not wanting to totally punch out Dane Cook every time he was on screen (I really don't like that guy).
Then we wandered around the mall for a bit chatting and looking at books in Barnes and Noble. at around 8:45ish we parted ways at the Max station.
I had fun but it was a little awkward due to the note the day started out on.
