So, I just finished season 3 of Orange Is The New Black. Can I just say, OMFG?!? Where the hell is season 4? I haven't written any fanfic for that series yet (mostly cause I haven't written fanfic of any kind in awhile), but I may have to pop that cherry. Not gonna go into much detail right now because it's 0430 and I really need sleep, but damn. Holy freaking damn.
On a lighter note, a good friend of mine from Austin was posting about ArmadilloCon on Facebook. The deadline for their Writer's Workshop has just been extended to the 20th and I suddenly want to go like burning. Honestly, the only thing holding me back right now (besides making sure I can get the time off) is the hotel. She just moved so can't put me up and the conference hotel is out of conference rates. $159 per night for three nights. I'd go in on Thursday for the Workshop Friday morning because I know myself and early mornings. They don't happen unless I've been volun-told and I'm getting paid time and a half.
The good news is someone posted to the FB page asking for roommates and I just messaged her. Hopefully she'll get back to me tomorrow. Cause if she got the conf rate, that would only be ~$54 per night. Failing that, there's a LaQuinta a block away that's $79 per night. Sadly, I worked at a LaQ in college so I know what their standards are, but I've also worked at a Hampton, Fairfield and Staybridge and know what *their* standards are. Mo' money does not always mean cleaner sheets and I always take my own towel. Fat girls like me do not fit in those bitty little hotel towels.
With any luck, I'll be around nerds for a whole weekend at the end of July. My people!! And I have a short story that I really want to get workshopped. And that means more time with even more nerds! What more could a girl ask for?
