[01:49:14] & elcasey but the doc is ok, very sympathetic, etc.

[01:49:55] & elcasey I worry about my folks the same way. They're both on at least 15+ prescriptions.

[03:10:37] & elcasey no I never did THIS ONE

[03:11:03] & elcasey I never did see DT live

[03:12:01] & elcasey but I caught up eventually

[03:12:20] & elcasey it does

[03:12:44] & elcasey probably not that expensive from BOS to be honest

[03:13:13] & elcasey it was cheaper (and this was for work) when I flew from Tampa to Logan to Heathrow

[03:13:35] & elcasey had to sit in Logan for 6hrs though D:

[03:13:52] & elcasey but I just got drunk and ate at Local's, it was fine :P

[03:14:32] & elcasey xD

[03:14:35] & elcasey probably

[03:15:24] & elcasey Haptons are absurd now, almost $200/night

[03:15:33] & elcasey and the place is noisy as FUCK

[03:15:39] & elcasey last one I stayed in

[03:15:50] & elcasey I can't get a decent night's sleep there

[03:17:35] & elcasey i've stayed in a lot of hotels across the US, and a few in Eurabia, but the soundproofing is generally nil in the cheaper ones :(

[03:17:41] & elcasey not being all fancy

[03:17:54] & elcasey but like an actual Marriott or Hilton is generally much quieter

[03:18:08] & elcasey even a Courtyard Marriott

[03:18:20] & elcasey fuck, they ALL are for me

[03:18:45] & elcasey but I think it depends on where you are and you the clientele is

[03:18:56] & elcasey s/you/who/

[03:19:00] & elcasey no

[03:19:07] & elcasey :D

[03:19:18] & elcasey Naemuti: wait, if they have hourly rates, is that bad?

[03:19:27] & elcasey ooooh damn

[03:22:43] & elcasey and I was so tired and fucked up, I left at 6am, went to buy gas, thought I'd left my wallet in the room, drove BACK (which is already rush hour traffic), wasnt in there

[03:22:56] & elcasey was like well fuck it, I gotta go, got in the truck, was in the console

[03:23:05] & elcasey :P

[03:23:17] & elcasey Naemuti: worst thing is my house is 3mi away?

[03:23:20] & elcasey the one I OWN?

[03:23:33] & elcasey but it's empty now, staged, I cant sleep there!!

[03:24:25] & elcasey oh well. ONE more trip and I got all my shit. Then it's up to some joker to buy it, and I'm off again

[03:25:13] & elcasey lesson learned, I should keep my OWN damn bed in a house I'm selling

[03:25:20] & elcasey xD

[03:25:29] & elcasey Naemuti: that was actually a good quote

[03:26:56] & elcasey iḿ getting a little horny for this Korean fried chicken place now

[03:27:07] & elcasey lol me too, Techy xD

[03:27:58] & elcasey Naemuti: I've never seen chicken tenders the size this place has before, like do they even make chickens this big? they must.

[03:28:33] & elcasey Naemuti: and their kimchi is the best i've ever had
