a pimp and an ewww

check out color_i_fic, a multi-fandom challenge community. Check out the new challenge, three works using the permutations of my favorite color; Black.


As for the eww well there's two, the stupid cough medicine which zones me out and yet leaves me unable to sleep. Thank you stupid medicine.

And the big ewww. Yesterday while vegging on the couch I was listening to Cold Case Files and they were investigating a murder in a Holiday Inn in Des Moines several years back. The hotel bedspread had a 100 stains on it over 30 were semen. My very first thought (after ewwww) was does NO ONE pull the covers down and the second thought was I'm never traveling again.

Funny thing on an older Monk eppy they luminoled the hotel for him and seeing all the stains nearly made him have a break down and I'm thinking you know...seriously, I had a fetish about the hotel bedspread before this but now... I think I'll pack my own drop cloth...


ETA - This by the way was not some sleazy No tell Motel, it was a Holiday Inn

That was one disgusting bedspread. I'm almost tempted to bring a sleeping bag on my next business trip (the only time I ever stay in hotels).

and that was (i forgot to mention) a Holiday Inn NOT some No Tell Motel!

Nah, you mentioned it.

I'll see your Eww and raise you an Yech

Oh, absolutely. Hotel bedspreads are one of the dirtiest things in the room (along with carpet, headboards and walls), because they are seldom cleaned. Sheets are cleaned often, every other day or weekly and toilets, sinks, tubs etc are cleaned daily if you ask or at each checkout or, at the very least, weekly. Bedspreads are MAYBE cleaned every other month or even less if they "look" clean.

Whenever we've had to stay in a hotel, the first thing we do is remove the bedspread (we always bring our own as well as our own pillows) fold it up and put it in a far corner. I also wipe down the headboard. I can't tell you the colors and downright filth I've gotten off of hotel headboards. I've turned a little white wash cloth dark brown before... and tried real hard not to freak about what the brown stuff might be...

yeah it's probably really best not to think about it. I just never have room in the luggage to bring my own usually. pouts

Man, I didn't even think of that. Yeah, if you're flying, it wouldn't be feasible to lug all of that with you. I never fly (anymore), so it didn't even dawn on me.

and now I'll have to fly everywhere since the medication I was just put on has to remain cold at all times. Which means no more 12 hour car trips

Gross!

Hope you're feeling better

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

so gross and sadly not really feeling better but thanks

okay, some more feedback on old stuff...

[ex-chaos-by-699.livejournal.com]

I just read a bunch of your old drabbles on a_better_lie because I'm looking for drabbles to archive on quor-toth.net (http://quor-toth.net). I loved your Connor/Holtz ones, the ones in Quor'toth and the ones that are missing scenes from Benediction. And your rewrites of season 4 just killed me because I really wish those scenes happened instead of what 'really' happened.

It's kind of painful and frustrating. But only because you're good at what you do.

Re: okay, some more feedback on old stuff...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh thanks. I'm glad you liked them. I sort of stopped posting my drabbles there (dial up being too aggravating is why), feel free to use them if you'd like

that is so strange. Then again i couldn't resist those orange baby aspirins
