So this morning I was on the raaadio and everyone but Joe missed it!

Well, I'm sure that some people caught it, maybe even some Actual New Readers, but I haven't heard from any other friends yet. If you look quickly on this page, you can see both my name and Weehawken spelled wrong! I am not complaining, I think it's kind of cute.

I remembered to set the alarm and I remembered to plug in the phone and I remembered to do all of the grown up things that other people who don't skip through life with their heads in the cloud do without even trying, but hey, I was pretty proud of myself.

The alarm rang at 6.30a, and I did hit snooze, but I didn't go back to sleep or anything, I just lay there and tried to figure out how people get up at this hour every day, then I got up and fed the cats and couldn't think of anything else to do except for lie back down with the phone on my chest and get nervous.

What if I wasn't funny? What if I was boring? What if I accidentally said a swear word? What if the phone didn't work? What if the very moment that I checked to see if I had a dial tone was the moment that they were calling and they got my voice mail and would never call again!!!

Then the phone rang. It was Noam, and we exchanged pleasantries, then I listened to the news and the traffic and the weather, and then I was on the radio with Noam and Teisha!

Right before they put me on, they played a taped bit saying basically "The views you hear are Noam's alone, don't blame us for anything that he might say. We disown Noam! Noam who?" and I started out by saying that I was glad that anything that might come out of my mouth would be officially Noam's fault, which got a laugh, and I was home free.

What was I worried about? The one thing that I am certain to be able to do without any problems is talk about myself.

Beth, the producer, had told me that I would be on basically for as long as I was interesting, and apparently, between complaining about being up so early and talking about the Grammys (Noam really dug that entry) and my peculiar living situation and the history of online journals as told through my eyes, I was interesting for 20 minutes, which I think is a really long time on the radio.

Anyway, it was a swell start to the day, and they announced my URL really clearly about seven times, so hey, I'll get up at 6.30a for that! You know, like once.

Hey Jen Wells, your email is bouncing! I wasn't saying anything that interesting, just who do you think got bounced from Vegas Showgirls Almost Famous, but if I for once answer someone's email in a timely manner, I want credit for it, dammit!

Today's horoscope:
Your example and assumptions about partnership create images for others. Early discussion can help clarify unrealistic ideas.

If that answers the question about how sarcastic I am at work.
