Thank you, sweet Jesus!
That Q101, one of the better radio stations in town, has dumped super-annoying conservative shock jock Mancow from their morning lineup. Now that Q101 is playing better music these days, it was such a drag for them to devote like four hours every morning to that tireless blowhard. He talked and talked and talked and talked and pontificated and talked. Good riddance to bad rubbish. When they do put together some sort of morning program, I just hope that MUSIC is involved.
In a freaky development--a Blue Line train (my El line of choice) derailed and caught on fire yesterday. I'm just happy that no one I know (that I know of) was caught up in that mess.
Um, very little progress is being made at the house at the moment because...well, I don't really know. I think our new house has a sort of soporific effect. I walk in the door, and I'm ready to go to bed for the night. I'm hoping that will change once we have some entertainment in place...TV, computer. Also, I think I'm sleeping so much to avoid all of the painful chores that lie in wait.
I do have a new author waiting to be published on HI. And I'm eager to get back to writing myself, but I've got to be patient and wait for the husband to get the computer up and running. The whole internet situation at home has been a lot more complicated than we had anticipated.

It's about damn time. I've hated Mancow ever since he debuted. Then again, I hate all varietes of morning zoo bullshit, but I did find him the worst. This caused me to discover the blowhard sports assholes on AM radio. When they become too much, I ended up listening to XRT or The Drive, which are sensible enough to feature morning music.
Good luck with your computer situation, and I look forward to the triumphant return of Happy Insomniac.

Thanks! I'll do what I can between naps.
I'm a big fan of XRT in the morning because I enjoy Lin Bremer...I especially enjoyed it when Billy Corgan would do his morning Cubs commentary with that sigh of resignation.
Although most mornings, I just plug my mp3 player in and listen to that during my commute...

I checked this morning, and it was still morning madhouse on q101, but it may have been a best-of interim clip show. It was Mellencamp live in studio, so I was entertained.
Yeah, they've got Mancow until Friday, and then they're bringing in James Van Osdel in the mornings for the summer. I'm happy about that because the man actually knows what he's talking about when he talks about music.
Meanwhile, as a former Hoosier, I maintain that you can't go wrong with Mellencamp.
