Ok, so this is the couch I have to deal with (again). I will admit that yes, I did lay on it last night while watching Bones, and Law and Order. I have never watched either show before, but when you’re sitting in a hotel room after drinking a really large margarita…whatcha gonna do?
Anyway, it was actually relatively sort of a comfortable sofa/couch.
Now, I don’t mean comfortable like “Oh I’m going to go out and buy one of these really quickly because OMG it’s comfortable.” Yeah, not like that. At all. No.
But…it’s ok, especially since this suite is only $68/night (price went up from last time). Yay for corporate discounts. So let’s take a closer look at the pattern.
WTF.
It’s red, it’s black, it’s white. It’s a mess. It’s so absolutely busy that I almost can’t look at it without having a seizure. It’s like one of those first person shooter games that flashes images at you so fast that you need to shove a spoon between your teeth so you don’t chew your tongue off.
So let’s get a lot closer and see what’s going on.
That’s right.
A whole lot of busy patterns that sort of look rather native american.
Now I am very fond of native american art, but I’m not sure if this qualifies. To me, this look like an american version of native american artwork.
I can back this up, however, because all of the artwork in the entire room is native american-esque.
Example, this is the art above my head when I sleep at night. It’s some sort of native american pueblo or something, with water bearers wandering around.
I really have no idea what it is, I’m making this stuff up, but hey, they put it in my room so I have to do something with it (again).
Anyway - I have to be up at 4:30am to get to the airport and on a plane at the crack of dawn. Not looking forward to that…
I shall now spend the rest of the evening watching So You Think You Can Dance. Because that’s what on TV.
(If this post looks familiar, it’s because I’m back in the same hotel and pretty much the same room as before…)

So now I know where Heath is. Very insightful blog I must say. I rarely pay any attention to the room decor as they seem so similar from room to room, hotel to hotel. Most of the time they seem to be exactly what you are describing…some crazy wacked out pattern that I am convinced was created by someone on shrooms. I mean seriously, what Native American would even begin to think that is a native american “pattern”? I believe the word “pattern” is used loosely here because to me it appears more like someone took numerous swatches and sewed them together to make us think there is some sort of “pattern”.
And I must comment on the fact that you actually laid on it to watch tv. I personally would have been so distracted by it I would have not even noticed the tv. And even when I am laying in some hotel bed somewhere, the comforter is often a distraction. I literally turn it down just to avoid the distraction. I find the white sheets have little distraction while I watch tv. Food for thought…

Oh the first thing I do is chuck the comforter onto the floor. I don’t want that nasty thing anywhere near me. But then again, I doubt they wash the sofa either, so there’s no tellin’ what I sat on.
