Best Buy just contacted me to say my laptop is ready. I'll pick it up Sunday afternoon. The Rabbit Hole will still be a rerun since I didn't plan out a complete show for this week.
jcollie719: (Hi JCollie)
My laptop is at Best Buy now. I'm scheduled to pick it up on Monday, meaning Sunday's Rabbit Hole will need to be a rerun.

I applied for a Denver radio board operator opening I found today. The company owns sports, Hot AC and Classic Hits stations, so I'm guessing the opening is at the sports station.

I haven't heard back from the previous two businesses where I applied.

I had to download the latest version of Mixxx tonight since I couldn't connect to Boomer's server with the version I had. I don't know why Mixxx is picky like that.

My new Subaru has both AM/FM radio and SiriusXM radio. While listening to one Sirius channel, the radio-friendly version of DNCE's "Cake by the Ocean" came on. In addition to the usual alternate lyrics for radio play, I noticed Diddy's name was censored in the line "I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi." I don't know if regular radio stations also censor this now.

I'll be seeing a local band with a meetup group Saturday night at a bar called O'Furry's.

Dad let me know the IRS accepted my tax return. My refund should be in my account on Thursday. That should give my account some breathing room for several months.

I had a good dinner tonight at an Irish pub. I ordered a Reuben sandwich and a bourbon and coke. Unfortunately, the scheduled trivia night didn't happen because the person who runs it didn't show up.

R.I.P. to radio and song parody legend Bob Rivers. I'll do a set of his songs during the Rabbit Hole this weekend.

I made lists of songs from the 2000s and 2010s for the Rabbit Hole. I found I've been mostly playing 1980s-1990s songs while ignoring the rest of my library.

I'll take my Subaru to the body shop tomorrow to get the initial estimate for repairs.

Last night, I wasn't sure if I had the latest version of Mixxx installed. I downloaded the latest version just to be safe.

I'm almost out of a medical cream that I use on my leg wound. The wound care clinic told me they don't stock the cream and it isn't available in stores, but they gave me a website where I could order it. I just hope the cream I have will last 2-3 days until the new cream arrives.

I couldn't get Mixxx to connect to my server, so DJ Sonic will be filling in for me tonight. I'll just save this week's playlist for next week and do a belated Christmas stream.

Some weeks, putting a show together happens smoothly. Other times, I get the musical equivalent of writer's block. Looking at old playlists usually helps me overcome this. I've got half of this weekend's show planned so far.

The entry I made last week mentioning leaving the hospital with both legs intact wasn't entirely made in jest. When the orthopedic doctor first saw my wound, he said amputation or plastic surgery would be likely. I'm very thankful those weren't necessary.
jcollie719: (Collie Lick Sign)
I can't get any response from my doctor's office about the results of my MRI. I've left two messages with them so far. Their online patient portal won't let me send messages for some reason. I just hope my leg continues to get better and doesn't need surgery.

I've got my show about two-thirds prerecorded. I hope it sounds okay when I play it Sunday night.

Boomer The Dog offered to run one of my old Rabbit Hole shows tonight. I like this because it lets me relax while still having my voice go out over the "airwaves."

I went to a drugstore today to get a portable urinal for myself. When I really need to go, my leg pain sometimes triggers my bladder before I can make it to the toilet.

I won't be able to do a Rabbit Hole show this weekend. I am still dealing with my leg injury, which would prevent me from going to the kitchen or the bathroom quickly when I needed. I thought about pre-recording the music sets for the show on the 17th to give me more free time. I wish my leg would heal more quickly.

The hotel room sign-ups for Furry Fiesta opened Tuesday. I got a single King room.

I filled an hour of next Sunday's Rabbit Hole with Halloween-themed music. I found even more Halloween songs and put them in part of the first hour.

"The forbidden fruit was named Danny."

I had a small glitch during my show last night. I accidentally unplugged one of the USB devices I use which caused the audio to stop completely. Restarting Mixxx after plugging the device back in fixed the issue.

I have almost everything I need for my upcoming cruise. Only 20 more days! I'm just waiting for some mini bottles of distilled water for my APAP machine.

I had pulled the calf muscle in my left leg a few weeks ago. I've been resting the leg whenever I can and taking it easy when I need to walk on it. I hope my leg can be back to normal by cruise time. I did a small catering delivery today after not finding any available shifts for a while.

I downloaded a new Disney cover album and some other songs after hearing them on TwitchDaWoof's stream. It's nice to have other sources to inspire my Rabbit Hole playlists.

The WebGuest on Pawpet IRC is still requesting color drawings of various characters. I don't know if he knows that Romeo has moved on, but his requests come as I'm trying to run the Rabbit Hole. This sometimes affects both the show's flow and my overall mood as I go back and forth between the show and the drawings. Sometimes I miss conversations in IRC because I'm busy drawing. Of course, I need to use Pawpet IRC so Ricochet can link me to his Radiolawn episodes.

I got an e-mail last night from the Denver station looking for an announcer. I will not be getting the job.

On the bright side, only 39 days until my Halloween cruise!
jcollie719: (Radio Bumper Stickers)
I found a listing today for an announcer job at a light rock station in Denver. The listing said "Be one of the first 10 to apply," so I hope my application was submitted early enough. I don't know if this will be a daytime or nighttime position, but the salary listed is very good.

I got a pizza for dinner tonight then checked my mail. My passport arrived today! Now I can check in early on Thursday for my upcoming cruise.

I just read that someone else was hired for the Morning Edition slot at KRCC. Although I'm disappointed that I didn't get the job, I'm relieved that my hosting the Rabbit Hole will be unaffected. JaSonic offered to fill in for me during the weekend I'll be at DenFur.

I discovered the band Primus is playing at the brand new amphitheater in northern Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, it's on the same weekend as DenFur.
