I thought about mentioning in the title how I got a spam e-mail a few days ago that advertised “Viagra Super Force”, but I did not want to give anyone who just glanced at the title the wrong idea... so that's why I am mentioning it here. I did not do anything on Monday the 8th so let me skip ahead to Tuesday. On that way I went with someone to an Applebee's; what is notable there is that this particular location just opened in town a matter of days ago. I'll excuse the less than great service on that. At least the food & drink were still pretty good. Wednesday, I went to Walt Disney World, EPCOT in particular. Not to brag but I renewed my annual pass. I also went on the new Soarin' ride, which now takes place all across the world, and an incredible thing happened.
I was waiting in line to get on the ride, and suddenly one of the people working there were asking if there were any single riders to fill one last spot. No one else did so I made it be known that I was a single rider. Thus, I got to cut in front of line. Apparently that made someone pretty angry. That dumbass probably didn't realize I could hear him, but I certainly did hear him call me a “motherf...”, well, you know, an MF'er! Really. I was more amused than offended. To get that upset over having to wait in line a little longer than I did... what a clown. Oh, and Soarin' is a real nice ride.
Thursday, I did not do anything, so onto Friday. I went to Disney Springs, the AMC Theatres there in particular. I went and saw an obscure movie I only discovered existed a few days beforehand. It's a South Korean movie called Operation Chromite, about the Battle of Inchon during the Korean War. Yes, I actually have seen the infamous early 80's bomb known as Inchon, which has the likes of Toshiro Mifune, Richard Roundtree, and Laurence Olivier as General Douglas MacArthur. This movie is thankfully better than that; in a supporting role as MacArthur was... Liam Neeson! Yeah, that was the reason why it even got any kind of release in the United States. I'd love to see more Korean movies on the big screen. Not all of them that I've seen I have loved (this includes some popular titles among film fans) I can say that from the lighter fare like The Host or The Good, the Bad, the Weird to rather explicit things like I Saw the Devil or The Man From Nowhere... they make some quality motion pictures which thankfully aren't cliché like what we get from homogenized Hollywood. After the movie, I ate at the T. Rex Cafe as I hadn't been there in a long while. The high price is the reason why I go there infrequently, as I think their food is quite good and the atmosphere is great. I then went into the new Uniqlo store; to think that Disney Springs now has two famous Japanese clothing stores on their property; earlier in the summer I went in the Superdry store; both are nice and offer cool clothing. I don't have any Superdry shirts but because they were cheap I got two from Uniqlo.
Saturday, I went to a gas station out in the boonies in the hope that they they had some Crystal Pepsi, and they did. Sure, it was a gas station which somehow ran out of gas (on a Saturday afternoon! The prices were the same as everywhere else) and the service was poor, but as I actually did have it back in the day and yet did not remember anything about its taste, I waited in line. Once I got home, I discovered that it's fine, I guess... it's not my favorite, though.
Sunday, I did nothing. I'll mention that in the past week I did see some of the Olympics on television. The coverage on the NBC Networks has not been good and between the incompetency and Olympians being robbed, Rio has not been made to look good which is a shame for the first South American Olympics. Yet, the actual action from the sporting events has been entertaining, and the online streaming is fine, when it works, that is. I have checked out more obscure things that way, like archery and field hockey, as when would I otherwise be able to see such things? When I come back a week from today, I have an idea or two as to what I'll be talking about.
