This was another week for me where things were rather boring for the most part... but I am old and lame (or at least I feel that way) now so I am OK with that. What I am not OK with... yet another person I know from my past has passed away. Something like that happened just recently and I did not want it to happen again so soon. It was another person who was in my same high school class and it was someone I chatted with before. I am saddened by it and it's a sobering reminder that while my life isn't always how I expected it to turn out, I have no room to complain.
Last Monday I thought about doing something interesting; I ended up changing my mind so the only thing I did was go to Target, where I saw that Dr. Pepper Vanilla Float had returned for this summer so I purchased a 12 pack. I then went to Culver's for a tasty dinner. Tuesday I didn't do anything but Wednesday I went with someone to Steak 'n Shake for dinner. They always make nice inexpensive food and now they have a limited edition Nutella shake, which of course I got and of course I enjoyed.
Thursday, that was finally an interesting day. I was able to return to Walt Disney World, which was nice. I went to the Hollywood Studios. While the drive there and back was stressful (mainly due to it being rainy weather) and some of my fellow guests there at the Studios could be best described as “humanoids”, my time there was nice. I went on some rides I hadn't been on in awhile, and that includes The Great Movie Ride, now with a new queue and occasional narration by TCM host Robert Osborne but otherwise still the same wacky attraction with animatronics and various movie scenes/genres re-created.
Friday I relaxed and Saturday I thought about doing something but I ended up staying in also. Several things popped in mind... I was just too tired and besides, the big event of the evening was the latest UFC pay per view and for several reasons I decided not to watch it. Fighters still train way too hard and too long before their fights so injuries happen way too often and it happened again here as the heavily hyped main event was postpone and a lesser main event was booked instead. Maybe it was because of that and maybe they just won't do them anything but in the entire state of Florida only a few movie theatres are showing the event. That stopping would be unfortunate for me as I enjoyed going to them. Then there's the UFC shooting themselves in the foot often in the past few years... and now Reebok is an exclusive sponsor with rumors of most fighters getting less money and now all the fighter tights/trunks are ultra-generic and that is extraordinarily stupid and the antithesis of what should happen in a one on one only sport... I am OK with not seeing UFC for awhile as their actions warrant such a response from me.
That said, I heard that the pay per view portion was worthy of being seen by me but I'll track those fights down at a later time. Sunday was another day where I did nothing of note. That is OK as when I return a week from today I should have a more interesting week to recap.
