I was in a pretty lousy mood today, and you know how it is when you're in a bad mood. Everything seems irritating and makes it worse.
For instance, normal reaction to going into the dining room and hearing music playing: "Hmm, that's some nice music."
Bad mood reaction: "Why the fuck are they playing music so loud?! Did they ASK if we wanted to be made to listen to that while we eat?"
But when I walked in, it was all done up for Mardi Gras. That was what the music was. There was glitter everywhere, the staff was wearing silly hats, and they gave me glittery beads.
Much better mood now.
People need holidays. They're good for people. I could use one about now. (Well, a vacation, that is.)
Shame the time you most need them is the time you're least able to get them.

I'd do something about it myself, but I've been too busy.
But go to the otakon website and go through the hotels gate...
