Work and Radio
First, the radio taping went well, although I did screw up quite a bit because he asked me to read aloud some of the verses while the music played in the background and it was a little like giving a dramatic reading and I?m just so far from being any kind of actress it?s not funny. The history stuff sounded okay, I think, and once they edit and send me a tape I won?t be completely embarrassed by it. Let?s all pray together for that, shall we?

And the first day on the job went okay, too. It was a little like camp or a field trip. I don?t really know what I?m doing yet so I sit at my empty desk and act like I?m busy?which isn?t completely unlike what I did at my old job except there I wasn?t busy because all the work was already done.

Other than that, not much is going on. I finished The DaVinci Code and was a little let down at the end. A friend had predicted as much and so I have to say, when you?re right, you?re right. Still, it?s a really interesting book and I?d highly recommend it. No, really.

I still don?t have an alarm clock. We were busy with wedding stuff all day Saturday (in fact, I?ve got all the hair pins from the practice hair thing in a pile on the dashboard of my truck and whenever I turn a corner they make a funny scraping sound as they all slide in unison from one end to the other) and Sunday I was in Brooklyn so I never did buy myself a new one. Also, my hair dryer is on the fritz. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn?t. So I?m having a very mechanically-challenged time here right now.

Still, life isn?t all bad. The Sopranos last night was awesome. I?m finishing up a pile of nachos (not the best dinner, I know), and I?ve got three-quarters of a practice wedding cake downstairs to enjoy as my dessert. Life, in many ways, is good.
