This past week I was thinking of doing some things but due to circumstances beyond my control, this was a mostly quiet week. Something good unexpectedly happened to someone I know and sometime in the future I'll go more in depth on what I am referring to. Monday, nothing was done; Tuesday, I saw Phantom Thread. It's not my favorite movie from P.T. Anderson or Daniel Day-Lewis, but it's still very good to great. Some may find it “boring” but I didn't, not at all.
Wednesday evening, I went to Taco Bell for the first time in a long time. There are many food options that are not too far from me and with them, it's more about cheap food than outstanding quality; the price I know is why they are pretty popular, especially among “the youth”. They have many options and it's easy to mix & match, so that is appealing to me and I should at least go there once in awhile. One of the things I purchased were the nacho fries, which were fine. I definitely did not go there because I was swayed by the terrible ads Taco Bell did to advertise them. Thursday I did nothing and Friday afternoon I went to the local store to pick up some food items.
Friday evening, as I had free time and wanted to do something a little different, I went to downtown Orlando; yep. The last time I was there to have drinks, the night started off well then because of reasons, things went South. This time I returned to the wacky place known as Frosty's Christmastime Lounge and while there were no highs, there were no lows either. I had drinks and people-watched. Thankfully there were some examples of “white people dancing”, which is usually good for a chuckle. The real highlight of the night was when I was walking to the vehicle to go back home. I noticed there was a brand new Insomnia Cookies. Sometimes I am “hip” and I have heard strong praise for that chain before. They are obvious in who they target... their locations are either downtown or on college campuses, and they are open and even deliver until the wee hours of the morning. I had two cookies and they were quite delicious.
The weekend was more boring for me; there's nothing too noteworthy of being discussed, except that I did watch some of the Winter Olympics on TV. Whenever either Olympics is on I watch some of it. NBC's television coverage isn't always great, but at least I can't complain too much about the streaming option on their website, where you sign up via your cable provider and you can watch live or via replay all the different events from beginning to end. In 2016 I saw various bits and pieces of such niche sports like archery and handball, because that's me. That'll give me some entertainment while it's going on.
Unless more unexpected events occur, this upcoming week should be more exciting.
