1999, Kiss, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret & Let's Go Crazy

Yeah, I do think that Prince created many quality tunes, from the ones I listed above to other ones. RIP to him.

Here is what I have done since last Monday; on that Monday the 18th, I went with someone to a local restaurant. We decided upon Steak 'n Shake as we hadn't been there in awhile. It was an uneventful time there, and the food was good; the highlight was the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Shake; it did in fact taste as delicious as it sounds. Tuesday, I returned to the International Flower & Garden Festival to walk around, eat some random food & drink, and purchase random food & drink from various stores. The unexpected highlight of that wasn't the giant macaron (although that was pretty good) but rather the “Beijing-Style Candied Strawberries”. What a fool I have been for not trying it out sooner; it was a quartet of strawberries w/ a candy coating on a kebab and it was very good. The typical crowd was there for one of those festivals, meaning that some got rumbustious after consuming alcohol but I tried to ignore those loud people.

Wednesday I did not do anything so let me skip ahead to Thursday, which was a meh day overall (feeling tired, plenty of rude people, mainly on the road; I saw some incredibly bad driving); it wasn't really the Prince death, although that was pretty sad as it was unexpected and all. Anyway, I had to be in Orlando for something... I'll just say it was nothing bad or major. One surprising thing came when I returned to the Twin Peaks restaurant. A lady who has worked there for a long while and I had briefly chatted with before remarked the last time I was there that she noted how long it was since she saw me... as I left shortly after she clocked in, I figured I should return and this time she could wait on me, which she did. The food & drink were as good as they typically are. My order got messed up, and it wasn't her fault. I probably shouldn't go into details just in case but I'll say she was not happy about the snafu & went above what she had to do to make sure it got fixed and it was really appreciated by me.

Friday I did not do anything of note so let me talk about Saturday, where... I returned to Twin Peaks. I figured it was time to finally see another UFC PPV; that was the draw and not watching Jon Jones return. Between his personality and all the times he breaks the law, I do not care for him personally at all. The show as a whole was fine, but at least that's what I expected going in. It was nice to quench my thirst, have some delicious apple turnovers, be in that atmosphere, see a show that wasn't bad, and yes, that one bartender was there again. I have no idea when I will return there.

Sunday, nothing happened. I could mention some minor annoyances about the past week... I won't as I don't want to be too negative here. Plus, they are minor, although one of them unfortunately will likely cost money to fix and that never is a good thing. I will say that when I return around this time 7 days from now, I do not have much planned for the end of April... yet.
