Next week, I’ll be having a chat with Becky and Maya of The Pack A.D. to be aired before their show here in Kingston on 13 October (at the Mansion with Hollerado), so stay tuned for that. I’ve had a listen to their new album, Unpersons, and it’s a must-have for anyone into bluesy garagey rock. The album and single, ‘Sirens’, is currently sitting at number one across college radio charts, so we’ll be hearing a lot more of them soon for damn good reason.
School stuff…teaching is going smoothly enough, but I’m spending perhaps too much time prepping for each class, as I feared. Time is eating in to my thesis thinking/work periods. Still need to find the balance. I have a reasonable chapter outline prepared and have been reading a lot with some tentative stabs at writing. Still, hard to get motivated when one feels like they’re writing into the abyss (where’s this going and all that). But I’ve started, so that’s good.
Working on a fun new cross-stitch project and thinking about buying a canner. We make a lot of stuff, sauces, pickled things, jam etc., and well, we just don’t have freezer/fridge space I think it’s time to learn a new skill set. This weekend I’m keeping it low key with pumpkin…pie, muffins, ravioli stuffing, and salty salty seeds. Also pulling together ingredients for some Bun Thit Nuong (Vietnamese marinaded pork with vermicelli salad), which I will make for guests coming on Monday.
