someone to watch over me

Not much happening this week: a little work, a little playing with the kids, a little running. In short: the usual.

So, nothing much to say, blog-wise. In the shower this morning I contemplated an extended discussion about the rights and wrongs of exclusive men’s clubs in Melbourne. That’s probably been done to death though. Besides, if we, as a society, are prepared to allow hundreds of women-only gyms, then it’s a bit rich to deny men their little boys clubs too.

I’m inclined to just let them be. If people want to have little boys clubs, why not? What’s the harm? Surely we have more important things to do, shouldn’t the government fix the public transport system first?

Anyway, on to something more pleasant. This is a terribly un-feminist song – so bad it makes me cringe – but a beautiful tune. Also, it’s Martha Wainwright singing, and I’m something of a fan of hers.

Someone to watch over me….

    I’m getting a “video no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group” message when I try and play the Martha Wainwright video.

    I’m glad to finally find a musical artist we can agree on. I’ve been a fan of MW for a while since seeing her a couple of times on Rockwiz. I recently bought both her albums. I’m the only one in the family who likes them. My wife won’t even let me play them when she is around!

    BTW – what song was the video of?

    If they want to hang out with men in their men only club- let them I say! I can’t think of anything worse- but then again I work in a boys club.
