The Swan Principle

Smooth millpond with majestic white bird - the seemingly effortless forward motion, means of propulsion conveniently (in aesthetic terms) out of view. Just a note to announce that I am not in the midst of a blogging hiatus - just because you can't see it, doesn't mean I am not paddling away furiously in the background. Nor does it mean that newly wed status has so addled my brains that my creativity has been fatally compromised.

I am completing a project for the blog that has been going on since 2005, namely, Women and Binge-Drinking: Anatomy of a Moral Panic. I estimate that it will take me another couple of months at least to finish sorting through the material (this does not mean that I will be posting nothing at all, merely that what I do post will be of necessity light and not very serious. I would literally rather leave the blog unupdated than sully it with sub-standard content - hence this notice will be erased as soon as it ceases to be relevant).

Then I intend to finish another long essay on women in James Cameron's sci-fi films. I also have an interview with an eminent professor in London scheduled for the end of April and several other pieces in the pipeline, including a follow-up to Puppy Fat.

All that I ask is that you bear with me in the meantime - hopefully it will be worth the wait. I certainly promise to do my best.
