I had four glasses (large) of orange juice this morning. I got my times mixed up and thought I had to be at a seminar at 8:00 am, so I had them wake me at 6:00 am. It turns out the damn thing was at 10:00 am .... so I went back to my room and took a nap.
There was an earthquake (just a small one, magnitude 2.7) at about 3:00 am last night, and that was the one that woke me. I think it was just because I wasn't sleeping well and my room is on the fourth floor. No one else I talked to said it woke them ... so I thought maybe I dreamed the whole thing, but then I looked it up on the USGS site, and there it was .... so, it's nice to know I wasn't hallucinating.
I had such strange dreams last night. Lots of movie stars in it and quite a plot. I had super powers, but I was just flying home (to a highrise condo in an unnamed city), but I kept flying through areas where they were trying to shoot a movie, and I kept getting in the way of their shots. Whoopie Goldberg was in at least one scene, and it was a screwball comedy about her getting mixed up with secret agents, and either I didn't realize that they were shooting a movie and tried to save someone from what looked like certain death, or, I just flew around a corner and heard the director yell "Cut!! Dammit, Ricky, please don't fly in this area!!"
For some reason, the soundtrack of the dream was the repeated playing of "Blasphemous Rumors" by Depeche Mode, which I now cannot get out of my head.
OK ... pshrynk .... you can chime in anytime. How far gone am I????
At this exact moment, I am enjoying my Subway chicken sandwich in the quiet of my room and I'm going to have another short lie down and take a pain pill (my back is not enjoying sitting in a lecture for two hours at a time with no breaks). I am completely loving my Livescribe pen ... it is making taking notes such a breeze. All I have to do is note down a case name or a Private Letter Ruling number as they are talking about it, and the pen is recording the whole lecture/presentation. Granted, they do give us gigantic typed handouts for these things, but I'd rather listen to what they are saying and jot a note or two rather than try to read and listen at the same time.
And, that's what I'm doing right now.
