So *The Messengers*, which is some kind of aliens/apocalypse CW series, was filming next door -- a quinceanera party complete with mariachis until 2 a.m. 10 feet from my bed. This would be not my neighbors quinceanera but one set up by the film company. Who put those of us who would have been rendered sleepless, even by the fake party, up at a motel. It was not a fancy motel, but the abundance and luxury of the suite -- two burner stove, fridge, a two-sided desk which can be used as a dinner table, five pillows on the queen-sized bed, clad in very nice-looking if not luxurious linens, wifi, huge TV and free popcorn to microwave in the supplied apparatus, immaculate pre-fab bathroom with huge immaculate white towels -- more luxury and private space than most of the people of the world live with. For a stay of 10 hours away from home, I did not, dear reader, take nightclothes. I took my electric toothbrush, my night guard (beware of the beeyotch, it bites), my eye drops, a comb, and my air book so I could binge-watch *Lark Rise to Candleford*. A peaceful night, but for the waspish whine of the air conditioning which I could not turn off by any combination of the alleged international symbol buttons. Happy 15th birthday, Messengers. abqjournal/370249/blogs/cws-the-messengers-set-to-begin-filming-in-abq.html
