The reason why this is up a little later than usual is that today my dad bought a laptop. He won't even start using it for a few weeks (he's going up to Illinois on Wednesday) but I still had to set it up and get it going; you know, get Windows 8 updated, install Firefox, and all that. I also had to learn how to use Windows 8, which is good as my mom will use the laptop at least once this month so I'll have to teach them how it works, and I'd better learn it first! But now I know why I've heard complaints about 8; it seems like they complicated what used to be pretty simple, and for no real good reason.
As for the title of this blog, I am referring to a rather odd dream I had Saturday night. The first thing I remember is me back at my old home in Illinois, and I was driving a 70's Oldsmobile convertible for some reason. My first car was an Oldsmobile, but it was a station wagon from the 80's. I end up in some random city and suddenly I was chased around by a Mexican luchador, i.e. wrestler! I have little explanation for any of this. No, the Mexican wrestler wasn't anyone like El Santo or someone known for wrestling in the United States like Rey Mysterio or Sin Cara.
This definitely isn't the most exciting blog from me. By the weekend the weather in the central area of Florida was chilly, at least by Florida standards so I did not do much those two days. Would you want to go out if you were in Florida and the high was 50 and it was windy? It was not as action-packed as the last blog where I talked about my eventful birthday weekend, and thankfully the two photos that some Asian guy took and put on his lifestyle in Orlando website were put up so I took them and I got a new cover photo for Facebook and Twitter, along with a profile pic for the former. At least I did do a few interesting things.
Monday through Wednesday were boring, except for one of the nights when I went to Walmart and man were there plenty of examples of people that wouldn't feel out of place on the People of Walmart website. I tried to laugh at those people instead of getting mad at their boorish behavior; I was able to purchae the items I wanted.
Thursday, I did do something I hadn't done in a long while. I went to Downtown Disney and via their bus service I went to one of the hotels. This time I went to the new Art of Animation resort, which has obvious theming based on some Disney animated films of the past 25 years or so. Having been at a variety of the hotels on the property, Disney does the theming of their places quite well. It's pretty cool. If only most of those places weren't do damned expensive... someone I know knows someone who works at one of the hotels and not surprisingly, the budget-value places at Walt Disney World are doing pretty well but otherwise the hotels and their attendance isn't so hot. Anyhow, I walked around that resort for a bit then went next door to their Pop Century resort (there's theming based on a few different decades) and I ate at a quick service location at the former. I was able to handle the crowded bus back to Downtown Disney. It was nice to do as something different from the norm.
Friday, I decided that it was the time to get a haircut. I did not need one when I went to the usual spot I go to (Sport Styles, formerly a part of the Sportclips chain) and they were out of business. I knew that there was a Sportsclips in Winter Garden so that is where I went. Thankfully they had plenty of people working so there was no wait for me. As I was a new customer there I got for free the post-haircut journey to the back of the joint where your hair gets shampoo'ed and washed. I've had it done a few times before and it's actually a great feeling. This time I did it and there was an added massaging chair; I enjoyed it!
That's really about it for this blog. I am pretty sure that the next one I do-which I'll post a week from today-will be more entertaining than this one. The reason why... you'll just have to wait to find out.
