Oy it's been a long day. I had to put the show together & sent it off to WLXU. Plus I am doing a show tomorrow (the Wednesday Morning Blend) so I spent the other half of the day listening to music to prepare for that.
Did you know I am a serial procrastinator? I will literally wait until the last minute to do something that I could easily have done a few days early without any pressure. Like, for example, I do this Arts Calendar for KFTW here in town. I could knock out a month's worth in a couple of hours - it's not like there's an opera suddenly schedule with a week's notice. But they're due on Thursday so I finish them on Wednesday. I can't help it.
& you know what? I long for the day when I can't get something that was supposed to be done at a certain time on time. I want it to be something I promised that simply cannot be late. & when I fuck up I want pretty much everyone mad at me. I want to be so scarred by it that I do everything early for the rest of my miserable life.
It's amazing that that hasn't happened. It will happen. I hope it's soon. But for fifty years (almost) I've gotten away with it. & today, though I barely got four hours of sleep last night, well, I'm done with Self Help Radio & I think I'm prepared for the Morning Blend.
Oh, about Self Help Radio - I promised I'd tell you how I plan to organize the show for this week - I am narrowing the theme to simply songs about "memories." It cut the number of songs I had to listen to in half! It was amazing.
But I don't get to play the Mountain Goats' "You Or Your Memory." & that makes me sad.
