I have a presentation to give today at noon.  I just checked the e-mail I was sent and there is no room/building number and it's a big college campus.  ack!  I'll call later (it's only 4 am here), but the woman that organized it isn't always there- I don't think she's full-time.

I have 2 realities and they are incongruent.  In one, my life is like an act, but I can't break through the 4th wall.  It's like the Truman show but much more boring. People sent me messages because they couldn't tell me things in person.  It would be too dangerous and sound crazy. But, they made me aware that things aren't as they appear.

My thoughts are with everyone in the area.  I'm on the other side...

I have spotify, the free version and I like that.  I am now trying the new twitter #music site and I don't get it.  Without spotify premium or rdio I can't play full tracks.  I just made a rdio account but i'm not sure what to do with it.  I'm happy with spotify, I just wanted to see if this was something I would like better.  Has anyone used the twitter...
