Here's what I've done in
the past week. Needless to say, it was far less exciting than the
week before that, where I had an insane 24 hour period... between
attending a wrestling show and seeing plenty of people for the first
time in years (and the action included people being tossed into palm
trees) and attending a comic con after not having a lot of sleep and
swooning over a celebrity... I do feel wistful that it will be a LONG
time before I can have such a crazy and memorable weekend again.
Still, I won't feel down about it and instead I'll be happy that it
happened. Sunday was more eventful than expected but more on that
later.
Last Monday itself was not
exciting at all... except when I posted that photo of me with Rachael
Leigh Cook on Facebook; many people liked it. I rarely post photos on
my Facebook account & I'll presume many (especially those around
my age) thought something similar to, “Holy bleep! Blair is posing
with the girl from She's All That!” Holy bleep indeed, I can't
believe it happened either. Besides the fact that I've always found
her to be rather attractive-and she still is, especially in
person-her being very nice and is also pretty humorous on Twitter &
Instagram... greatly appealing to me. There are plenty of pretty
celebrities who for whatever reasons I find to be annoying or
worse... I wrote about this at the time but in 2012 I tagged her in
a tweet after mentioning I had seen one of her movies and she replied
& thanked me.
Tuesday the highlight was
me getting food from Chipotle and Wednesday was yet another airport
run. That hopefully will be the last one I'll be doing for awhile; on
the way there I stopped and had lunch at a Burger King, where I tried
their crispy pretzel chicken fries. It sounded a little unusual yet
was actually not bad. Thursday, I did go out and see a film. I saw
the first Unfriended on the big screen and it was something I did
dig; the movie was pretty polarizing as a lot of it was gimmick and
the people you follow are ridiculously awful teenagers. Well, I am
happy seeing awful teens being killed (and Old Man me doesn't get
teenagers these days anyhow) so while absolutely ridiculous, I don't
regret seeing the movie.
I can say that Unfriended:
Dark Web was just as fun for me as the original. The people you
follow are a lot more likable (they are young adults) and in
comparison, the plot was not as far-fetched. The crowd I saw it with
were fans and much to my relief they were far better than the awful
audience I had to deal with recently. Friday and Sunday I did nothing
at all and Saturday the “highlight” was me going to Walmart for a
few items. As that was a normal trip with no calamities or
interesting anecdotes, I'll close this out by mentioning something I
have brought up before: you won't see me watching Shark Week. There
are plenty of reasons for me to think it is garbage; I hear a lot of
what they show is obviously staged & phony in some way... Sunday
afternoon I saw proof of it for myself. I ended up seeing the ending
of a show the Discovery Channel was replaying from a few years ago,
about a “mega shark.” The conclusion of course had the titular
mega shark show up... but it was OBVIOUSLY CGI, and bad computer
graphics at that. My intelligence was insulted. From an ad I know one
of the shows this year will be “Naked and Afraid of Sharks”...
why are they naked?!
Also on Sunday afternoon,
problems began with the air conditioning. I tried my best to fix it
but of course most of that is way above my capabilities so that'll be
left to the experts. Them possibly not coming until tomorrow is no
fun but I understand. It was very fortunate the problems only began
after the rain started and it was never unbearably hot inside; it
rained until late in the evening. Still, I thought it best if I got
out of the house. Thus, my activities for the evening were to see The
Equalizer for the first time then watch the sequel on the big screen.
I now know the first is a little better (where the final act takes
place: hilarious) but both are pretty entertaining and it was great
seeing Denzel Washington wreck a bunch of dudes and plenty of violent
deaths. I was fine on the rainy drive to and from the cineplex; many
weren't. Wrecks were common, and I know me complaining about Florida
drivers is a tired trope but they really did not help themselves last
night; I saw a lot of carnage.
Hopefully I'll have a cooler upcoming week.
