Last night I typed this up as it was time for me to finally catch up on what I've done as of late that is worth making public. To begin with the most important news, a week and a half ago I received the first of two shots of the vaccine (Pfizer, to be exact) in Leesburg at a mall that is mostly dead. I'll give all the workers there credit for running an operation that ran without any issue, the lines constantly moving and the whole ordeal-not just the shot itself-a painless afternoon. I'll be getting the second shot later in the month.
In addition, something I should have mentioned last time around: for the first time in ages I was at Old Town in Kissimmee one late afternoon. It's a quaint area of shops, restaurants and attractions which I stopped going to because (in part) they started charging for parking unless you were lucky enough to find a free spot. I found that to be dumb so I stopped going. Finally, I returned and the majority of it was the same as before; that was comforting. I ate at the A&W since I had been there before and never had a problem. Well, this time the food was not too good so I'd recommend not going there; next time I'll try something new. At least another place I returned to recently-the sports bar/restaurant known as Friendly Confines-still has good food and atmosphere. In addition, as of late I have used the Amazon Locker service. It is handy to have items delivered to lockers that are located (in this case) outside the convenience store of a gas station; I can pick them up while driving back from somewhere.
In the past week and a half, things haven't been too exciting-including Easter-except that I went to a pair of movies. The first was Nobody, which was similar to John Wick because it was from one of the people that wrote the first film. While absurd at times it was still a good time for action fans. Godzilla vs. Kong I could have watched at home via HBO Max but an action extravaganza like that needed to be seen on a huge screen, which is exactly what I did. Now, some of those Godzilla movies in the past are pretty strange; I mean, his entry vs. Biollante had many bizarre elements including ESP, genetic terrorists and a villain that's a combination of Godzilla cells, a human spirit and a rosebush! Godzilla vs. Kong was even stranger than that, for reasons I won't spoil here. While bonkers, the movie was still a great old time for me as it more than delivered on the premise of giant kaiju monsters doing battle with each other. Plus, there's plenty of neon lights and unexpected musical cues-the film worked for me.
I will return late this month; while not much is on the agenda as of now, at least there will be talk of me getting the second and last shot of the vaccine.
