Nov. 10th, 2005|12:10 pm: Ahhhhh, the sweet smell of marijuanna wafting under the connecting door to my motel room. And it’s a non-smoking room too! I’ve had the weirdest neighbors since I’ve been here. The current couple in there fight a lot. This morning the guy was yelling a lot and slamming things around. Then he went back to bed, I think. A couple of days ago, some new people arrived very late at night and they tried their best to open the door in between our 2 rooms while I was sleeping. It woke me up slightly, then I fell back asleep and had a dream that I was drilling a long drywall screw into the doorjam to secure it from opening. (I swear, I am not making that up.) The next day, they tried opening it again during the day. Last week, the people living there had the shortest sex ever - each night it was like Peggy and Al Bundy. Uh oh, guy next door sounds pissed again - his buzz must be wearing off. The maids have not stepped into my room once since I’ve been here. That’s mostly because of the Do Not Disturb sign I’ve kept on the door most of my stay, but I’ve taken that off for most of this week and they still haven’t come in. Yesterday the maid knocked on my door and asked if I needed anything. I said I could use some more towels and she just handed them to me at the door and asked if there would be anything else. I said the trash was getting full and she handed me 2 trash liners. Last weekend, they handed Jammie a pile of bedsheets, expecting us to make our own beds. Not that I’m complaining - it’s pretty amusing and I don’t really like having anyone in my room while I’m not around. I never make my bed anyway. Last year when I stayed here, the maid was in here every day vaccuming the floors and doing the trash and towels. The new maids are either lazy or afraid of me. This motel is, in my opinion, the 2nd seediest motel in Albany. Only the Marco Polo motel has got it beat in terms of seediness. But this one has a trailer park on one side of it and an interstate on the other. This is the same motel that had police shooting at some guy in the parking lot when I stayed here in 2003. I’ll kind of miss it, though. Only 1 week to go until I can move into my new place…
