First of all, let me apologize for not editing this post for 4 days. Usually when I snap-snap grin-grin from the cell phone, I only put a few words in with the pic before I upload. Then I'll come back and add some shizzola to turn this into a REAL post.

Anyway, I had to go up to Hartford, CT for a few days, and I usually stay at the Hilton Hartford. Not because it's a great hotel or anything. I think it was a Ramada before Hilton bought it 10 years ago. Anyway, it used to be a spectacular dump. The restaurants were crap, the gym was poop, the decor was suited for a feces-flinging zoo resident, and the overall aura was just plain rectal.

I haven't been to this hotel in probably 2 years, and wasn't really looking forward to it for obvious reasons. I mean, if you have to send me out of town, at least make it worth my while. Yeah - I could stay down the street at the Crowne Plaza, but when you've been with Hilton for 10 years you kinda rack up some points!

So, I walk into the parking garage lobby where there was once an escalator to whisk you away to the poop deck - I mean, main lobby. And lo, there was no escalator! Instead, the lower deck was a pristine ecru encrusted elevator landing with +5 energy! Ok, so I take the elevator up to the lobby....and I walk out, and it looks like an IKEA exploded in the middle of the hotel! It was entirely remodeled in the eurotrendycoolmoderne fashion! Wow!

Anyway, I'd keep going, but I *really* need to go. The pic is from the restaurant which was a combination Deli (Morty's) and Chinese (Ming's). Weird.

I apologize for this post's infatuation with all things excretory and D&D. I think I need to go #2, but I want to keep playing Guild Wars.
