Avenue C & Eagle Drive

Hope everyone’s year has been going well. As for me, I can already cross one of my resolutions off of my list.

I got a position as a DJ at KNTU, 88.1 FM, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9PM. I’ve never been so excited or an nervous in my life. My voice will soon be thrown across one of the larget radio markets in the United States, D/FW. My orientation is tomorrow, and it includes free pizza! If this is how the radio business works, I think I’m gonna like this career.

School also starts next week. I’m still taking the happy medium of 12 hours along with work. This semester, however, I’ll be going to work in the mornings and school in the afternoons and evenings. Tuesdays will be aprticularly busy, since I’ll be Going to work and school until 4:50, then my radio shift from 6-9, and the, time and energy permitting, my usual bike ride Tuesday nights and 9:30.

Also this past week I’ve been watching the whole saga between Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno. I, for one, think that Conan is getting royally shafted. Jay is also being treated unfairly, but is still getting preferential treatment from the NBC execs. I believe that Jay should quietly retire, leaving as a mediocre host of The Tonight Show and pioneer of a doomed primetime comedy genre. Moving Jay back to Tonight would be too much of a disruption and would destroy any ratings the show had. Although I love to watch Conan, at this point he’s a lame duck, and since I don’t have a Nielsen box, I can’t help him out. So, I’ve switched to Letterman until the dust settles.
