New Restaurants, Epcot, The Marksman & the 2021 Doldrums

I figured it was finally the time to stop putting this off and give a recap of what I've done since Christmas Eve. On December 25 a Christmas meal was had at a relative's place and once again that was nice; the first Christmas without mom was sad but I tried to make the best out of it. As always, I stayed in on NYE and the night of January 1 Wonder Woman 1984 was seen... on the big screen. The first one I have seen so I might as well check out the sequel, right? Well, 1984 was really bad and had a laughably juvenile story.

As of late I have gone to a few restaurants new to me, usually to eat at but one was carry-out. Let me mention them:

* Piesano's is a new place in town; their pizza was fine.

* Juicy & Crab: It is a seafood place in Kissimmee. Their grub was pretty good.

* I went to a Fuzzy's Taco Shop. It is a bar/restaurant and the place was WAY too loud. The food wasn't anything special either so no thank you.

* Last weekend I ate twice at Sunset Walk in Kissimmee. Saturday was BENTO, as I've never had a poke bowl before. Mine was white rice with shrimp and teriyaki chicken; personally, the rice tasted off and the chicken had too much fat. While the shrimp was fine, it's not a place I'd go to again. I will try other places that have poke bowls. Sunday was Lizzie's Memphis Style Barbecue; that was more my taste.

2021 so far has had its ups & downs. Some days were rotten due to various small things that happened. One of them was when I went to Mecum in Kissimmee. Way too many people were walking around without a mask on and even if it was an open-air event, everyone was required to wear one so I couldn't tell you why this wasn't enforced. That made me hot for a number of reasons and subsequently that was my least favorite time at that event. I am glad that later in the year there are exciting plans in store; only after they happen will I discuss them but they will be nice breaks from the norm.

The only other event of note was my seeing the movie The Marksman on the big screen one day. It was a typical standard Liam Neeson action drama which at least was competent. I'll close this out by mentioning that a few days ago I went to Epcot to renew my Disney Annual Pass. There's still a lot of construction at the park; once it's all completed there will be much that will look different; I don't know if it'll be “better” but different, that I know will be true. Late this month I shall return; my birthday is around the corner and that is one a few things I know I'll be discussing.
