Well, as you may or may not have guessed by the title, I am sick. :( (Actually, I don't think anyone could have figured out anything from that title). I have a terrible sore throat, persistent cough, and stomach cramps so bad I can hardly stand up. So I will probably be taking the day off school tomorrow, which is good in a way, because it gives me time to finish my last two assignments, work on my music, and hang around on GS all day.
As for the badminton, I am posting about it for a number of reasons, first of all because we are playing badminton in Phys Ed at school. Well, we were playing, today was the last session, now we move on to a different sport. Me and my friend wound up second on the ladder, and probably would have been first, but we didn't get the opportunity to play against the team in first place. But today, we decided that we are going to make a video about badminton, I won't go into to much detail except that it will be EPIC.
What I have to say next doesn't really have much to do with history, but in fact relates to my new song. It's not yet finished, but once it is I will record it and make a video. The title of this song is History is Now. Because my band broke up, I am writing and playing the entire song myself, vocals, guitar, drums, and maybe piano, as well as a whole host of strange non-musical noises. The only problem is, I'm a terrible lyricist and singer. My lyrics aren't that bad, but my singing is painful to listen to, so if I can, I'll get someone else to sing, and put that on the recorded version. When it's finished, I will post the video (and my badminton video) here and on YouTube.
The final part of this blog relates to a book I am reading. It's called Down Under, and is by Bill Bryson. He is American, and the book relates his experiences when visiting Australia. I think it is a great, hilarious read, especially for Australians, because a lot of his opinions about us and our country are so true, yet so unbelieveable, that they are both easy to agree with and laugh at. If you're Australian and haven't read it, I strongly recommend it, but if you're not, it might be wise to avoid reading it if you plan to visit Australia in the near future.
No language guessing today, I'm to tired and sick, and the last one was only two days ago. Bye for now, hopefully not forever. :D
