All We Need is Love?

After a long break...here I am again. I've been to Malta for Christmas and New Year, met up with friends, family and cat....and did the usual "girl studying abroad visiting people" thing.

Back in Birmingham I'm basically trying to work as hard as I can to finish off this PhD as soon as possible. I officially have 8 months of lab work left... and usually people take between 3-12 months after that to write up....*sigh*

As the title may suggest, it does get a bit lonely here...what with gale force winds and all....but it also refers to the Beatles' new album...entitled "Love". :o)

Mixed feelings really. It's a cool mix of songs and it's one of those albums that you just have to sit down and listen to from beginning to end. It strikes me as the kind of mix that they would have released after a day of pissing about in the studio...which is a good thing I guess because it's an interesting take on some of the world's most influential tunes. I am still a traditionalist who loves "original" versions of songs, etc...but this is an interesting melange of unedited dialogue and songs merging into one another. Approved. I admit...I have to be in the mood for it, to enjoy it fully...but it's a good album.

The picture I put up today is a painting of mine. I copied a postcard of John Lennon in his "Give Peace a Chance" saga. Reason why I chose to copy this particular one? I don't really know...I suspect it's because he kind of resembles Jesus in this picture...so I thought it'd be funny. :o)

Take care, if there's anyone still out there!!!
