Grr. Trying to book a NY hotel. Uni is paying, so cost is not so much of an issue, but they do have their limits. I can't get the government rate at any of the chi chi hotels. FEH.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Even the plain jane national chain nothing special hotels...something about that extra bed in the room and knowing I wasn't cleaning the bathroom.
This is me. I love going to writers conferences, and frankly I get nearly as much pleasure out of having a big comfy room to myself that someone else is paid to clean as I do getting to talk shop with the published people.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If I'm gonna be somewhere, I'm glad there's a clean place to sleep. But I'm usually vaguely disappointed that hotels aren't more exciting. I can get this at home-- not quite as clean, but with more cable channels and free booze!

Can you priceline it, Vortex, or do you have to use a particular travel portal?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Check Hotel Babylon for some ideas of hotel-specific shenanigans.
I am going to go have a lie down. I was having a blisteringly bad headache, and then I inhaled some narcotics, and now I'm not any more.
I am a bit weirded out by all that, but grateful.
Vanished. Entirely. Of course I'm fucked in the head and can't drive or work or anything, but it's not like the other painkillers that just made me sleepy or not care.
Strange.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday erika!

Imagination fails me. Because if it's just S-E-X, I can (theoretically) get that at home, too!
I might as well watch Babylon. Between mainlining MI-5, QI and Top Gear I'm calling everything "totally mad."

Our wings are not tired.
For me I like the out of town aspect of travel, but what wears me out is that it's away from home. I love seeing new places and even revisiting places. Thing is I miss seeing my friends at home and seeing Kristin, and the cats, and all of those things. It's a tough balance. Right now my career seems to be putting me on a plane a lot. It certainly translates into higher paychecks, but right now I'm just worn out.
This is me. 'cept replace Kristin with Steve and the cats with cats and dogs.
On second thought, don't replace anything and it's still valid.
