What events I experienced in the past week, my birthday week. Last Monday the 19th I decided to do something for President's Day. My destination was Disney Springs. I walked around and saw what was new. I went to The Edison, which is a new restaurant/bar that has a steampunk theme. I sat at their second floor bar and had a local beer; it is not the cheapest but then again that is what I expected given it's Disney. I wish I wouldn't have had some person pull out right in front of me on a rural road (necessitating my slamming on the brakes, and that person acted indignant with me after I honked at them!) but it's happened before... including that same spot on that road. Vintage Florida, I say.
Tuesday and Wednesday were boring, which was fine with me as I knew Thursday would be a busy day, and it was. I am sure people don't care to hear about my time at Wendy's so I'll move on; I got some sleep Wednesday night before taking both a parent and their friend to the airport. They were on different flights as they went to two different destinations but their flights left only within about a half hour of each other. Thursday the 22nd was also my birthday. I won't disclose my age but I can't believe I am that old either. As for what I did on that day, after I had some more sleep once returning home, I went to the Walt Disney World area, including the Magic Kingdom; it was popular there but that was what I expected. I did have (as someone I know predicted beforehand) both a burger & fries and a foreign beer throughout the day.
In the evening I was sitting at a bar and as I had dinner there, one middle-aged dude was a loquacious orator... or to put it bluntly, a blabbermouth! He talked without pause for many minutes on end, it was incredible. He talked the ear off of a pal then a little later a couple sat by me and suddenly blabbermouth started talking to the guy, and I am not even sure if they knew each other beforehand. Then there was what he saying... a lot of harebrained talk about the sciences; I wish I had a tape recorder as even if I did not hear all of it, what I caught was incredible. For example, I should have stopped and asked him what he was going on about concerning not believing all of Sir Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion! Blabbermouth also did not have a lot of tact; the people by me were an older gentleman and a younger Hispanic lady. The guy mentioned how they “were friends... for now” and I chuckled. Blabbermouth then said the obvious and brought up them having sex! What a way to spend my birthday.
Friday, I went and saw The Room right in my hometown theatre. Since The Disaster Artist came out I imagine many now know that infamous Tommy Wiseau film; I have seen it before but never theatrically. It was not one of the screenings where Wiseau was there in person; rather it was the same screenings that were shown elsewhere a few months ago that had special features advertising The Disaster Artist. The showing started a half hour late due to incompetence (that's what I call it, despite what the manager came in and explained the issue was; as similar things have happened there to me and people I know in the past... there's a reason why I rarely go there despite it being only a few miles away) yet once it started there were no problems and people laughed at how terrible The Room is, and the movie is as inept as you've heard.
Saturday and Sunday were boring; I'll just mention that via circumstances I won't get into, I stumbled upon an energy drink called Raptor. It's from Guatemala! The drink wasn't too shabby. When I return a week from today, I know I have some plans already set in stone I'll be discussing.
