Radio update

Sorry for not updating earlier about my first shift. I got sick last weekend (a flu thing).
Well, it was about 8:30 pm on Friday night. I was all prepared to go in for my first show. I decided I'd tune in to the guy who was on before me to hear what he was doing.
I was having a bit of trouble finding the station when my phone rang.
It was Alexander (who's show I was trying to tune in) telling me that some circuit breaker had gone off and they wouldn't be able to fix it that night, so I shouldn't bother going in!
Geez! Talk about a let down.

Broadcasting didn't resume until next Thursday, however I got my chance last Friday.
About an hour into the show, I just left the CD playing and went to the bathroom- my flu felt like it was gonna make me puke.
Fortunately I didn't throw up.
Unfortunately, I got the hiccups.
So, from about 10:30 till midnight most of my talking involved me hiccuping and disscussing/trying different ways to rid myself of said hiccups.
Interesting times.

I didn't do Saturday's show, but went to bed early and slept my illness away.

This week fared much better. I did the show on Friday without any hiccups (literal or figurative).
Saturday night saw me introdcing my first "segments":
"Retro-replay" -where I play an old song.
"Word of the day" -random word w/definition & example (this week's word was Jeremiad)
"Number of the day" -random facts about a particular number (largely thanks to Wikipedia)
and my personal fave...
"The 11th at 11" -I play the 11th track from a 'requested' album at precisely 11pm.

As you may have noted in previous comments, Nath may be joining me on air, which will be fun!
