Despite the snow and ice, I wasn't housebound today. I had to go out to do my radio show. The roads were a mess, but I'm so timid about driving on snow and ice that I go really really slowly -- never get over 15 mph and 2nd gear -- so I'm pretty safe. Even if I went off the road, at that speed I'd just slide into a snowbank without hurting myself. (I know; it's happened before although not today.)

I had a great time and had way more human interaction than I usually get at the station. Not only did the next DJ show up (thank god!) but Marty came in to do his PSA thing, and someone else came in to do some stuff in the production room. He introduced himself and I immediately forgot his name. I hate when I do that. There were also several calls: one guy called to request a song by Lo Fidelity All Stars which turned out to be indecent, thank you very much! Then Sylvia called to chat about some fabric, and might have walked over to show it to me but ended up doing a phone interview with a musician instead. Then someone called just to tell me how much she was enjoying the show and how she was going to listen on her computer at work every week. Aw, shucks!

Best WXDU news: the Icicles EP is back! Yay! It must have just been misfiled before. Worst XDU news: We do not have a copy of "Antmusic." How can that be?

My hair appointment today was indeed cancelled. The shop called to tell me that David (my hairdresser) would be coming in an extra day over the weekend or something. I explained to the guy how I'm desperate for a haircut, I'm already 3 weeks overdue and my license expires on Thursday and etc. He said they'd work something out. I'm hoping that means David will fit me into a cancellation tomorrow. I bet there will be lots of people who still won't want to drive.
