I am writing.
I am writing a band interview/profile and it is very hard. Luckily I have stumbled upon the trick of pretending they are actually aliens, a la Herzog, and it is helping.
I have learned a good tip though: when writing about a band, listen to their music exclusively for three days straight and the alien metaphors will trickle off your tongue that much faster. Also, an early, easy dinner and a nice cup of wine. Plus headphones, there is no time for distraction with this nonsense. 
I am afraid I never could have been an academic and a cook, the time constraints are just too many for a leisurely dinner-preparer such as myself. I had to buy ready-made sauce and pasta tonight, and though it was good, I did -- oh you know it already don't you?
I have also learned that my writing veers towards the weird.
Come with me to Spaceland on Friday, 8:30pm please! You like rock shows!
