Perhaps it's well-known to anyone who well-knows me that I am of an obsessive nature. I like a certain amount of structure in my life, & that's reflected not just in my show but also in this blog. I especially liked doing a radio show on Friday, because I like to write on this blog (despite having virtually nothing to say) five days a week, & Fridays are a nice natural end to a workweek.
So what happens now that I am doing a show on Tuesdays? Well, fuck. That throws the whole week out of whack.
I wrote this when my show was suddenly on a Saturday:
I will write five blog posts a week, per my doctor's orders. Since I will most probably be posting my show on Saturday afternoons, I will be posting on Saturday. I don't post on Saturday. Usually I don't get out of bed on Saturday. Now I have to. Whose fault is that? Mine. Shut up.
I was mentioning that I would no longer post something on this blog on Mondays, since I had shifted one day. Now I've shifted three days. So I will be writing on Mondays again. I wrote on a Monday this week! But not, I guess, on Wednesdays & Thursdays.
The show will be posted on Tuesdays. I'll resume the week on Fridays. I will write all weekend long.
It's very weird to me that I don't have to wake up early on a Friday or a Saturday. I used to set two alarm clocks - because I usually didn't get to bed till around midnight the night before, & it takes me a while to fall asleep & I wanted to make sure I woke up - & since both clocks are on Apple products - iPhone, iPad - they would go off simultaneously. I'd push myself out of bed, stumble to the shower, & try to wake myself up as so many Americans do by standing under hot water until I was conscious that I was standing under hot water. (This is something that Californians might not be able to experience much longer. Maybe someone will invent a sonic shower now?) Then I'd let the dogs out & they'd misbehave & I'd try not to yell at them because it was five o'frickin' clock in the morning. They'd get to go back to bed. I'd go sit at my computer & try to get my shit together enough to get in the car, drive to the station, & do an exceptionally stupid radio show.
Now I can wake whenever on Tuesdays, as long as it isn't 3:45pm (which it won't be - I have eight animals who never let me sleep longer than 9am), & even have lunch & other things before my show. That seems weird as fuck. I don't even know how that's going to feel in the long run.
Ask me later. Meanwhile - the new sequence of blog entries start tomorrow. I'm sure you're excited. I will try to find something interesting to write. But. Don't hold your breath.
