Feeling very Kristaish right now. I'd go buy a new house tomorrow if angrywife would let me.

Somehow, some way, the Aladdin Motor Inn has managed to be worse than I expected.

Didn't get the themed room you requested?

Is the window air conditioner working? No mold in the corners of the cement ceilings? No chips in the $1.98 a sheet "1968" wood paneling?

Lets not get on our high horse princess.

She is probably sitting in dried semen right now. That's enough to give me a semi.

There is no window air conditioner. To be fair, there is also no heat. You get the temp you get. When we walked into the room, Mr. krista opened the window due to the overpowering mildew smell. No screen on the window. It's open for now, but there are a LOT of birds around here.

I don't know if there is mold in the corners, but there sure are a lot of cobwebs. I prefer the cobwebs to the globs of unidentified substances found all over the walls and the long black hairs on the bed. The "accent" wall is orange, which is not a terribly soothing sleep color. At least it matches...wait, wait, it doesn't...the pink formica counters on the sink. Well, that's in the bathroom, right? No, the sink is not in the bathroom so much as nearer to the middle of the room itself. The bathroom has a toilet and a tub/shower and blue ink scratchings on the walls.

But those are just aesthetics. Whatever. I'll just settle in and get on the internet and try not to touch anything. Except the guy didn't tell us the internet password, and there are wireless networks called "Aladdin" and "Aladdin guest" both of which require passwords (turns out, of course, that the appropriate network is neither of these and is instead called "NetGear11"). No problem, I'll just call down. Oops, the room phone doesn't work. No problem, will use my cell. Oops, every time I call the number it says the call won't go through and to try again later. Fine, I'll watch a little TV and get the password on the way out to dinner. Where's the remote? Oh, there isn't one.

All right, I'll go down and ask for the password. Sore after our hike and the flights of stairs will suck, but at least we're on the top floor so it will be quiet here. Other than the people in the next room who slam their door going in and out, causing the whole room to shake. On the plus side, they only seem to go in or out of the room every two ####### minutes.

The beds have six inches of metal sticking out on either side, right in the middle. Mr. krista has somehow managed to hit his leg into that metal at least a dozen times already. At least I have that to keep me entertained.

OK, off to dinner!

I can just picture it. Enjoy your 1200 lb. 25" television, does the pink formica have any worn brown/grey areas?

God forbid you bring in a black light and look at the bedding. Forget I said that ...

Need to hear about dinner too. Any good Moose fry places around?

We just arrived at a decent looking seafood place. Realized that I neglected to mention that when we down to see about the remote etc, had to wait a while for the owner because he was wrangling a stray dog that had gotten into someone's room.

 

[Otis]

Have to take my wife, 3 year old and 3 month old, and move in with my parents for about 6-8 weeks at the end of the summer between the time we close on our current house and close to get into our new house. This is gonna be interesting.

Two months at a residence inn will cost you less than one of the mortgage payments you're skipping and they give you free breakfasts, free dinner/snacks and beer/non alcoholic drinks for the kids, plus you get maid service.

Don't know if I mentioned it here, but I adopted a cat last week. Mata's ex decided he no longer wanted to be bothered with it, so she brought it back a couple of weeks ago. She already has two in her apartment and things didn't go well adding a third, so I told her to bring him here. I've always been more of a dog person, but living alone and having to travel for work isn't ideal for a pooch. The cat is named Junior and is 12 years old. He's not a small chap, either. He likes bacon, which was our immediate bonding moment on Day One. And he evidently likes imitating a toupee as he'll do everything he can to get between my head and the headboard of my bed (not a euphemism or a band name).

Do you know what kind of mold it is? Some can be taken care of with bleach and water. Other kinds, not so much. If it's the bad kind, don't #### around with it - that #### can #### you up in all kinds of nasty ways.

You guys have no idea how hard it is to be so freaking cool.

I must have missed this exchange before, but that's some good music right there... one of the few things I actually cared for when working with musicians was to get plastered on whiskey with Shane MacGowan,,,

Pretty shocked seeing a Violent Femmes concert from London -94 too, considering I'm pretty sure I was there.

I didn't really want to say anything because Aaron, who was here for a few months, liked it, but Port Townshend sucks.

I can't imagine living there now. Don't hold back on my account.

Should never use bleach on mold. Mold generally loves acid, but it looks like it's gone because it's "bleached." You're much better off mixing up a paste using toothpaste or some other form of bicarbonate, to raise the pH.

I shouldn't have said "bleach" - just a wash like Tec says is good. I was trying to outline the difference between taking care of "less-evil" mold and the truly bad ####.

Nein. Summer school until July someteenth. Much sad. Always wanted to puke on the Fonzie statue.

Oh please. If the toughest guy in town is Carmine Ragusa I'm not really scared.

We love Port Townsend from what we've seen so far (two visits). Can't imagine what you wouldn't like, other than the Aladdin Motor Inn.

We wanted to close the window and shut the drapes(?), but when we did so we couldn't find a light source in the room. Actually we could--the only light that seems to work is one that puts a spotlight on the TV. Otherwise, nada.

Easily the worst night of my life spent in my wife's presence was when we were camping. Everything that could have gone wrong did. And I was a former camping advocate.

Did I mention that they are having the Mom & Me camping trip on Father's Day? #### them in the ear.

No way

As the self-appointed Shark movie expert round here, I like to bring to your attention some obscure shark movies you should check out. Well right now on AMC there's a shark flicked called "Jaws." It's really good. The best of the bunch. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Actually "Jaws" is rather old. Came out in 1975 IIRC. I'm surprised you've never heard of it.
