This past week was another
one where only a few days were interesting, but in this case they
were quite interesting. Last Monday, I went somewhere in town to pick
up a few items. Tuesday I did nothing until real late at night; I had
to make another airport run. I dropped someone off at the airport in
Sanford and on the way back I stopped at a Denny's for a late night
meal; that went as expected. Wednesday I did nothing but Thursday I
returned to Universal Studios CityWalk for dinner. I hadn't eaten at
NBC Sports Grill & Brew in ages so I had my “almost always”
of a burger & fries as I consumed a drink and watched TV. That
led to some great comedy; some clowns came in and I soon realized
they were so dumb... what an exercise it was in frustration to see
them try to figure out what beer they wanted and I felt so bad for
the bartender as she had to repeat things over and over again. It was
like a bad Who's on First routine. Them attempting to order food
wasn't much better.
Friday, I went to downtown
Orlando and I went to a place that sounded pretty cool... and it was.
A place called Joysticks Arcade Bar where you get to drink alcohol in
a joint filled with 70's through 90's bric-a-brac and there's even
small themed The Goonies & Star Wars rooms and there are vintage
arcade machines from the 80's and 90's... heck yeah to that.
Thankfully the place was as fun as I expected it to be. They had a DJ
spinning tunes so as I placed my drink on the provided drink stands I
could play Galaga or Rampage as tunes from the likes of Billy Ocean,
New Order, the song that played during Kickboxer as Van Damme danced,
and Eddie Murphy's Party all the Time were heard over the sound
system. While there, an incredible moment happened. I was in the
men's room... as an aside, the bathrooms are Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man
themed. As I left, a woman came out of the ladies room and asked for
toilet paper, as somehow the club did not have enough of that in
there. I was then told to tear off enough to... well, I don't want to
use the colorful slang she used, but after that comment was made, the
girl then made the obvious (and correct) assumption that I would not
know how much toilet paper was needed for a woman to wipe! Thankfully
I apparently did tear off enough.
The weekend wasn't too
terribly exciting, although on Saturday I went into my town as they
had a special food truck event to celebrate Father's Day. It was
larger than the city's usual food truck nights they have during the
first Friday of each month. I had a tasty dinner so it was a wise
decision to head out that way. Before I close this out and mention
I'll be back next Monday with some adventures I know I'll be
discussing, I did recently have Coca-Cola's limited edition
California Raspberry flavor. I don't know how raspberries from
California are different but at least it does taste pretty good.
