So long, smooth jazz

I just can't win with smooth jazz radio stations.


So, a while ago, I found WLOQ Orlando. It was amazing. It was basically CD 101.9 (the NYC smooth jazz station that went off the air). It's been broadcasting smooth jazz for thirty-four years. And now, five months after I discovered it, it's being sold because the owners need money for a medical emergency.



I've really gotten attached to the radio djs, after listening to the station for pretty much every day since I've found it. I'm really going to miss the LOQ Café with Robyn Austin, Smooth Ride Home with Brian Morgan, Lites Out Orlando with Alicia Kaye, the Concerts Under the Stars live from Baldwin Park. It probably sounds pathetic, but it's like I actually knew these people. It's like getting emotional when something happens to the characters on How I Met Your Mother. They're always there for you.


They say there's a possibility that they may continue broadcasting the music online, sans the djs, but it just wouldn't be the same. I've already got all the songs on my iTunes. The djs make the package.
 I'm recording their entire last week on air. Must archive all the things!


Let it be known:

That at 2:10am on July 15th, 2011, as the credits to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 rolled up the screen, my childhood officially ended.

Oh my god, it's over.

I don't think I could have asked for anything more.

I'm watching the World Juggling Federation championships on ESPN3 right now (it's still going on, if you have any desire to watch), and I realized I can totally do all the individual tricks these guys are doing. The only thing I can't do is string the tricks together into one continuous two-minute routine. I don't plan on ever performing, but it's cool to know that I don't have too far to go until I'm as good as the pros :D

I'm down in Cape May with my family and our friend's family.

I had my shirt on all yesterday, and my stomach still got sunburned. How does that happen? Really, how is that possible? Am I really that white?

The friends and I went to the Wildwood boardwalk to go on rides today. The rollercoasters were meh, but the log flume was really good. And there were no lines, since it looked like it might rain all day so I guess most people stayed away. So when the log flume was over, we asked the attendant if we could just stay in the boat and go around again. She said yes, awesome. Then when we got back, we asked again. And again. And again. Eight times in a row, oh yea! Completely soaked by the end of the day, but so worth it.

Lightning storms are great. Lightning storms over the ocean are the greatest.

And yup, I'm still terrified of swimming in the ocean. I just can't do it.
