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…)









You realize that boys in North Carolina get branded toy trucks and farm equipment from Santa. That brand is John Deere. Their product line is vast - barns, clocks in the shape of tires, pail shaped serving dishes, camping lanterns, and even green and white checkered table cloths.
You realize that it’s perfectly normal for a little girl from NC to wear this shirt and no one thinks twice.
