ARRGH! Never have I wanted to kill an inanimate object so badly. Or if I have, it certainly has been a while. Stupid f**king phone, you COST ME MY CHANCE TO GO TO THE MARRIOT HOTEL AND MARINA CONVIENTLY LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE CONVENTION CENTER THE COMIC-CON IS LOCATED IN? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ONLY PLACE AVAILABLE IS? THE F**KING HOLIDAY INN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL BECAUSE YOU TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS ON HOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ONLY BEEN 1 HOUR AND 42 MINUTES SINCE THE LINE OPENED UP AND I MADE THE RESERVATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'VE CROSSED THE BORDER FROM STUPID TO LUDICROUS!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest. Our phone is a stupid, barely working, old appliance that I am going to toss as soon as possible. It seems all our appliances are breaking down lately. Just two days ago, our microwave almost caught on fire. There were sparks people. Hopefully my shopping trip today will lift my spirits a little.

...It's a sad state of affairs when you're lucky to get a room at the Holiday Inn. The freakin' Holiday Inn. There's really only four bright spots to this entire thing. One, I actually got a room. Two, it's only 1 mile away from the convention center. Three, there's a shuttle that goes to said convention center. And four, at least it isn't Super 8 or Best Western.
