Guess I'll have to get used to it!
Here's something I might or might not have said: I'll be doing two radio shows on Monday. That's right, in addition to Self Help Radio I'm going to be subbing a show on XRAY called What I Like. It's super fun & I will in no way be able to capture how good it is when DJ Flash Gordon Quarterback New York Jets is on, so I think I'm going to repurpose an old Self Help Radio.
Something I might also not have mentioned is that I spent all day Sunday working on the first Self Help Radio in Portland & got maybe three hours sleep. Part of that was bad planning. A lot of it is my anxiety keeping me awake. I haven't overslept for a show in years but my brains acts like I will
probably do it if I don't fret about it for hours before I stumble into a fitful, rem-less sleep.
Thinking of sleep, I have fond memories of falling asleep in class. In both high school & college, I feel like I had the most restful naps when, bored stiff, I'd pretend to be taking notes & cover my downcast face with my hand & just doze off. Inevitably the elbow of my right arm would give way & it would wake me. I'd be confused but oh so refreshed.
Now when I am busy listening to music or writing some fake ad or editing an interview, the urge to sleep is strong. I never knew how fucking lazy I was until I started putting more work into this show.
Speaking of: I know it's a Saturday night but I am going to go to sleep now so I can wake up early to work on two shows for Monday. Please don't envy me this rock star lifestyle - I put my pants on one leg at a time like you do. Although now you're making me feel that's the wrong way to do it. Should I be doing it two legs at a time? Three? Four?
See you in the a.m.
