Part of my Annual Oscars (96th Academy Awards) Coverage RECAP:
I’ve talked about doing it for years, but this was the first time I reserved a hotel room to watch the OSCARS! It’s the only time of the year I need cable, otherwise, Free TV and every streaming channel known to man is sufficient. But I love the E News channel for red carpet fashions and Ch 6 ABC is just scrambled without cable; plus, I don’t have a big screen TV at home either as typically I see most everything in the movie theater. Previous years, I’ve watched at my Mom’s, now deceased, or a friend’s house. I thought about going away for the whole weekend and making it a mid-winter/spring-break trip, but I didn’t choose a destination in time, so I just made it a staycation in King of Prussia at the Alloy KOP - a DoubleTree by Hilton. I remember, years ago, I had been dating someone for a number of weeks and we were going to an event in KOP that was going to go late, so we decided to get a hotel room. It would be the first time we’d have sex, so I wanted a nice place. He wanted to pay, but not spring for this location, he felt it was too far above the price of the other hotels in the area. Perhaps, but I kinda knew we wouldn’t make it when he denied me my preference. Like Miley says “I can hold my own hand”.
I have to say, I’m disappointed with Red Lobster, I ordered for delivery, not only did my food come cold, but they didn’t include butter and sour cream for my baked potato. The receipt clearly shows both items should have been included. Who eats a dry baked potato! When I called, they not only said there’s nothing they could do, the girl told me she never eats baked potatoes so couldn’t relate to my despair. Fortunately, the restaurant was still open in the hotel and they provided me with my missing condiments and there’s a microwave on the 5th Floor. Crisis averted 🙂
