Having No Internet Can Lead To Interesting Things.

Well, I do have internet, but on the laptops mobile broadband. Due to unforseen circumstances in changing ISP's, I'm left with no proper internet till Friday next week. I'm getting much better internet, ADSL2+ which will roughly be 16 MB/s, so it will be pretty good to have. But given that I'm relatively bored, I entertained myself by doing a vocal cover of Cannibal Corpses Stripped, Raped and Strangled. I have to say, I'm quite happy with it and how my death vocals have come a long way, especially on Barnes weird scream at 2:06. They dont nearly hurt as much as when I first started (havent changed technique that much) but I can control my breath a lot better then what I used to, and it overall has a better sound. Also my range has gotten better, but it still lacks something. Emotion perhaps? Not too sure, but we will see what I do with it when I feel creative.

For those who might be confused, that is just the studio version of the song, not my cover. I will refine it and put one up next week, probably using Ultimate-Guitar.

A virus be within me

2 Panadol, 15 ml of Demizin, Karlor CD and a glass of Berocca be the medication I'm taking. Hopefully this throat infection/cold will subside soon.

Not only did I lose points...

But I got suspended! Rightly so, just took them longer then expected.

In other news, finished downloading If..., a film from 1968 directed by Lindsay Anderson (very underrated director from England) and the film debut of one Malcolm McDowell, future Alexander DeLarge, Droog Extrordanaire. Despite the surreal and quite confusing ending, it is an excellent film of teenage rebellion and I find that it sorta relates to myself, specifically the constantly being told that your hair is too long. I'll watch it a few more times while I wait for O Lucky Man, the sort of "sequel" to If..., once again directed by Lindsay and starring the post Clockwork Orange Malcolm. Definately look into them if you havent seen them already. Good films indeed.

In literature news I am going to start reading A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking. I was planning on buying it last weekend after a hot tip from my philosophy teacher told me that the 20th anniversary edition went from $50 to $8. When I went to buy it I missed the 20th anno edition at the front table and went to the science section and saw the original for $50. After a subtle "Bullcrap $8!" and realising the misunderstanding (it happens a lot between us) he said that he was going later today so he would buy it and I'll pay him back tomorrow. Hopefully he remembered.

School is starting to pick up. I have my 2nd philosophy outcome next monday (first was this monday, comparing philosophical problems in The Matrix to where they originally came from, eg Plato's Cave) and this one will be concerning mind/body problems (dualism/physicalism), other minds and something else. Then on wednesday I have a literature outcome. Not to mention I have to finish my ERA report for Psychology. Time to start maybe thinking about studying.
