checking in from a flat country

So, I live in a shitty apartment. That's been established.

But sometimes I pretend I live in hotels, like Eloise did.

On this Sunday night I'm writing from somewhere near...Wisconsin I want to say? It's blowing snow outside. I'm staying in a suite, with a kitchen in it, just like a rock star! In fact, I'd go totally rock star and destroy the whole place for the fun of it, but that would be really disrespectful to the people who would have to clean it up. This place has a pool, and a hot tub which is currently in need of repairs, and I have a bath tub, and a bed so big that I can sleep at any orientation I'd like. Tonight: diagonal. Tomorrow: who knows!

I'm in the Midwest and the sky is the limit!

I had dinner at one of those country store restaurants  It was my first time in a place like that. There was a huge fireplace and I got seated right next to it, because I was the only person in the place. Even completely deserted, it was the most cheerful place I've ever been! There was a store attached to it that sold lots of candy and soda in bottles, and the cashier said she'd give me a private tour of all the candy and soda, because there was nothing else going on. You'd better believe I said yes!

Then they served me a pile of stuff on a plate, which was confusing because I thought I'd ordered food.

Now it's night time, and I play the game of Melina vs. Hotel Room Suite. How can I use you to the max? Can I write on every table, bounce on every sofa, how many channels can I watch at once? Can I watch the television from the tub? Is there anything lying around that I can put into the fridge? The full sized fridge?

Speaking of rock stars, my sister opened for Taj Majal last night. Mother fucking Taj Majal. And then my mom was all, "Oh, yes, your dad and I hung out with Taj this morning, we were in the same hotel, he thought your sister was very talented!"

It is february 3rd, the year of our lord 2103, and we seem to all be doing pretty well.
