Last Monday through
Wednesday not a heck of a lot happened. Sure, the Chicago Cubs ended
their season by falling apart at the very end and flopping in the
playoffs, but alas... I did take a trip to Walmart but that went as
expected and nothing noteworthy happened there. Thus, I'll mention
the film Hell Fest, which I saw during this time. The trailers made
it look cool and despite the mixed reaction it has gotten from all
walks of life-meaning, not just critics-I was hoping for the best.
Well, I thought it rocked. It is like an 80's slasher in some ways
and I appreciated how this was R-rated and thus some of the kills
were rather graphic. The aesthetic and atmosphere were great, so it's
a shame more people did not enjoy Hell Fest.
Thursday, I had the
opportunity to go out and do something, so I made my return to the
Food & Wine Festival at Epcot. I did not need an excuse to attend
that festival or have the opportunity to consume a few drinks but
there was a great reason for me. Thursday happened to be the 39th
birthday of Rachael Leigh Cook; I lavished plenty of praise on her
back in July... for a long time I fancied her so it was magical
getting to see her in person back in July at a comic-con. I rate her
cosmetic looks quite highly, but in addition she is quite funny and
as I can attest to, she is very nice... and even when anxiety made me
act even more socially awkward than usual during that professional
photo I put on social media the next day then the short chat I had
with her at her table as I purchased a photo she signed, Rachael was
quite kind and I'll always appreciate that. Anyhow, I had food &
drink there, so naturally I had a good time. I had wine both from
Kurt Russell's winery (this wasn't the first time moment for me) and
from George Lucas; of course that is known as Skywalker Vineyards.
Both were tasty pinot noirs... not that I am an expert at that as
wine isn't usually my drink of choice. As I've mentioned before, it's now become a popular thing to attend these Epcot festivals and wear shirts bragging that you are going to become drunk. It's definitely an expensive way to get hammered.
Friday I returned to the
downtown area of where I live; this time I was with someone as we had
food from the various food trucks around. There wasn't as many there
as usual but it was all good as we both found meals that were decent.
Saturday and Sunday I did nothing at all. At least I watched Live PD
and on the Saturday edition of the show, a dumpster was literally on
fire. Of course this made me laugh, as I often refer to things as
dumpster fires. Speaking of that, the National Football League on
Sunday... what I saw of the games yesterday, it was the usual
nonsense from the league which leaves me “meh”. As the Chicago
Bears had a bye week, at least I did not have to pay too much
attention to all the kickers performing poorly, or those genius NFL
head coaches who called the dumbest plays when they tried to score
touchdowns or otherwise win the game.
When I return a week from
today, hopefully I'll have more to discuss.
