Oh, dear. Things have been a little silent behind the curtains, haven’t they? Reason? Well, I’m currently gearing up to move countries (somewhat unexpectedly) and at the moment my time is devoted to entertaining shipping companies, conveyancing, and having a heart attack at the cost of moving a small Scottish Terrier from one side of the globe to the other (11387 miles, to be exact).
There’s been some interesting stuff floating about on the interweb this past week, though. This post over on Lina Sacher’s blog, in part prompted by some virtual discussions I’ve had with the lovely Cari Silverwood about male and female interpretations of darker erotica, and then the below parody of Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines, put together by three trainee lawyers for Auckland University’s annual law review. I’m not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. I love the sarcasm but does it skate too far over the line into misandry and therefore lose its impact? Your thoughts?
I promise the posting programme will return to normal soon – you’ll just need to be a little patient with me as I box up my life!

What!? Across Countries? Please please tell me your coming to Canada! It would make it that much easier for me to peek over your backyard fence to see if your doing anything…interesting
I hope the move does not become too stressful for you and the family (pup too).
Lol! Sorry, no, it’s not Canada. We are going to the Southern Hemisphere. Nevertheless, you, my dear Josee, are welcome to peek over my fence anytime.
