Is it just me...

...or is Sacha Baron Cohen overdoing it with the promotion of his coming (what looks to be highly naughty) Bruno film?

It is like too late for Father's Day...

...but this painting, to which Will drew my attention, is just so, well, it has to be seen:



[The soccer ball, omg, the soccer ball!!]

Happy Father's Day all.

Latest News

In case anyone is reading this, I still have heard nothing on the book manuscript. My editor is positive but the readers have been slow and hard to find. The work I do is interdisciplinary (gender + religion + late empire + lots of philology) and this has meant that my process has been delayed. I am frustrated and worry that this will not have a good outcome, but, that said, everyone who has read the correspondence from my editor thinks that I should be optimistic. In my intellect I agree but my heart--- it sure does like fretting.

On a more a positive note, I submitted a long article (13,0000 words) on the Emperor Julian and his friend Salutius to one of the major journals yesterday. That project is now out of my hands for the moment. Let's hope that this set of readers will move with more dispatch.

This peer-review thing is in need of work, quite frankly.

All for now. Ciao!
