highlyeccentricThe current issue of Carnivalesque (Ancient/Medieval Edition) is up at A Corner of Tenth Century Europe. Carnivalesque is a monthly Blog Carnival devoted, on a bi-montly basis, to either Early Modern topics, or to Ancient and Medieval topics concurrently. Jonathan has organised the carnival into handy blocks- 'the ancients'; 'in the ground'; 'death; 'sex'; and 'medievalists looking back'. If any of these tickle your procrastinatory fancy, head on over and check it out.
Jonathan was kind enough to give me *two* plugs :) Although he did suggest that my blogging over at The Naked Philologist remains 'more eccentric than naked'. How's he to know what state I blog in, I ask you? Furthermore, in the 'sex' section, he seems to think that I might not invest in the strictest safety measures when getting tied up in scandalous middle english subtext. I feel my honour has been slighted.
That aside, Jonathan is an excellent bloke, who defines blog success in these terms:
So far, there's only JLJ and I holding up that last standard. If you have conference invitations, praise, or bondage jokes to add to the mix, I'm sure he'd be delighted.

You see, this is success, this is. I started this blog about eighteen months ago, it struggled in obscurity for a while, and then recently it’s netted me two invitations to submit papers and praise from bloggers generally at Kalamazoo and now I have erudite women cracking bondage gags—er, jokes—in my comments.
