I am a more or less depressive person, & I've been a little unhappy that a big life change I had been planning for for months got waylaid. It makes sense I would celebrate it/attempt to work through it with a radio show.
I usually take much of the day Thursday to work on the show - to gather all the songs that I might play, to edit my stupid skits + fake ads, to edit the interviews with my funny friends for radio airplay - & there's a sense of urgency because I have to be on the air & I need to get things done. Frankly, I don't much like Thursdays, since there's so much work to do. & also: I haven't had to do it for a couple of weeks.
Tomorrow's show will be a podcast & it'll be available at noon. Well, I hope! My brain can't get into the groove. I've done my recordings & I've edited most of them, but obviously I'll need to put the show together & then upload it, etc. Putting the show together means recording airbreaks, those things I normally do as the show is happening in real time. My brain refuses to acknowledge that I under pressure to get those done as fast as the other stuff. Right now, it's in a kind of bargaining/denial phase that's saying, "Eh, we can do them tomorrow." Tomorrow, when the show needs to be available by noon?!?
Let's hope it doesn't come down to the wire. I crumble like soft rock under pressure. I will also probably turn to drink. Or maybe crime. Or maybe stone, which will then crumble under pressure. Because, let's face it, if I were a mineral, I'd be a pretty soft one.
Tomorrow! Noon! Self Help Radio website! A very unhappy show. Because, why not?
