Exclaims "oh you are still here - that's lucky! Sorry for neglecting to update you for two months"
Clearly other things have been happening - yes indeed.
Mainly its been about the balanace of work and academic work. Light is at the end of the tunnel, I am just about to start my final piece of work for the 'Midlands' Uni' and I have now finished my temporary work at the library. I have a month to write up before I start work in London.
I am optimistic that my work will not take that long.
So, that's the life events stuff, now for some more fun stuff.
I recently had the great pleasure of watching Kenneth Clark's Civlisation, all the way through, during my lunch breaks whilst writing up work. I particularly liked his style of presenting art, relating it always back to the wider historical themes of the time; and more often than not, commenting on the underlying values that sponsored the artist to paint in this manner. Clark really is a gem among doctumentory presenters.
Although the purest amongst his audience might wish to see the videos in their highest possible definition, with the BBC's DVD edition, you can find them on youtube; where some kindly soul has uploaded them for free!
