October 31, 2007. Not a good time. I'm sick. runny nose, sneezing, congestion. it's not bad enough that i'm completely waylaid by it, but it's slowing me down. And it's HORRIBLE timing. i'm supposed to get on a plane to sicily on friday. i hope i can kick this out of my system by then. travelling with a clogged head is no fun. Happy halloween, by the way. i've got a spooky divaville. Planned tonight, if you're interested in listening. 6-9pm Pacific; 9-midnight Eastern. October 28, 2007. In another part, ...

September 30, 2007. Then tonight i had a date with the boy. we went to this oregon symphony concert. Which we both enjoyed tremendously. on the recommendation of one of my on-air colleagues, we also attended the pre-concert talk (which was, in fact, hosted by this same colleague). this co-worker basically holds a half-hour public discussion with the symphony conductor. Last week. he's really something else. Posted by christa @ 9/30/2007 11:26:00 PM. September 28, 2007. Oddly enough, there are * four.

June 29, 2007. I had my last air shift tonight. if you were listening, i deeply apologize for that last on-air break. while i soldiered through the bulk of the three hour shift with only the occasional emotional bobble, that last talk set was largely incoherent. i was trying not to sob, trying to keep my voice from wavering, and completely failing at both. But i also cry because i know it's going to take a long time to build that up again. in fact, i'll be lucky to build it up to the same level at al...

November 29, 2007. Thanks for your sweet comments and emails, y'all. i appreciate your support. i'm feeling pretty good overall. the counselor is simply helping me maintain my balance. Another thing that's helping is a trial membership at nearby athletic club. Which isn't quite as convenient (and quite a bit smaller) and see how it compares. Now that it's cold and rainy (and snowy! I'm finding i'm not walking to work any more. i miss the exercise. so i hope one of these gyms fits the bill. Almost all of ...

August 31, 2007. I picked her up from the airport yesterday afternoon. we drove to a cafe. In the neighborhood for lunch. yummy paninis. then we swooped by the station so she could see the joint and meet everybody. she became smitten with one of my coworkers, and i think there may actually be some sort of date before she leaves town. the lady works fast. On the way home we popped into a little local gourmet grocery store. There's a little gelato shop. Next store to the grocery, and we both had a scoop.

December 30, 2007. Truth be told, i'm having a bit of a hard time here. i've started seeing a counselor, which helps. but i'm still left to battle the solitude myself. What's hitting me hardest is the absence of my dearest friends. the ones i used to be able to call up and say, "hey, whatcha doin'? Wanna go get something to eat? A book club, a wine tasting group, and one amazingly called "Portland Women Connecting for Friendship." exactly what i need, no? We'll see how it goes. In the meantime, i'm strug...

March 27, 2008. I just went online to see what the weather might be like in North Carolina during my visit next week. i saw that it's supposed to be *79 DEGREES* in raleigh tomorrow! It *snowed* this morning in portland! Posted by christa @ 3/27/2008 12:29:00 PM. March 23, 2008. Is this the real life / Is this just fantasy. I read her resume and my jaw dropped. The last line, where she listed her education, read: "Northwestern University, 1991". I looked again at her name, Jen Harrison, and said,...I wro...

January 30, 2008. I'm sitting here at home, listening to my friend paula sub divaville. For me. it's weird listening to someone else do the show. it's my baby! I asked her to sub so i could go see another of the reel music. Films i can call this one divaville research. that's why i felt justified in skipping out this week. it's a film about slim gaillard. Ok, i've gotta run to the movie. i'm thinking of going to see the quadraphonnes. With a friend. single malt scotch is my new favorite drink. Oh, and he...

July 31, 2007. It's starting to hit me. the magnitude of what i've done. The excitement has carried me a long way, really. but now that my apartment is starting to come together and i'm beginning to get the hang of the job, there's some free time at the end of each night that lends itself to loneliness. I'm ok. don't worry. i mean, the telephone is right there. i call friends and family all the time. but then, when the conversation is through, it's me again. on my couch, by myself. July 29, 2007. I just ...
