Feeling better

On top of the aches I mentioned in my last post, I also had a stomach ache. I didn't eat much today. As far as I remember, I consumed:

1. A not-quite-full cup of tea (I think it was English breakfast)
2. A cup of peppermint tea (for my stomach
3. A smoked salmon cream cheese sandwich
4. Some biscuits/cookies.
5. A bowl of macaroni and cheese
6. Two mints

I had a shower earlier today, which helped. I spent the whole morning in my pyjamas, I felt that awful.

I did, however, listen to disc one of The Song Remains The Same. It has some previously unreleased tracks, some of which weren't even in the film. I started crying partway through 'The Rain Song', partly because I was happy that I'm sweet on Max. I guess I was missing him, too.

I must say, though, that I like the live version of 'No Quarter'. The studio version creeps me out for some strange reason, but I don't mind the live version from The Song Remains The Same.

I'm not sure which track on disc one is my absolute favourite. It might be 'Since I've Been Loving You'. I love the studio version and the live version. I love it when Robert Plant sings like a bluesman. Well, when you think about it, he is a bluesman. A folk musician, too. That's why I hate it when people call Zeppelin's music 'metal', because they started out recording blues songs, with rock songs (like 'Communication Breakdown') and folk songs (like 'Gallow's Pole') mixed in.

If only John Bonham hadn't died. I miss you, Bonzo...

Aching :(

What a fascinating dilemma. My stomach is aching, but I don't feel sick - it's more like a muscle pain, like I pulled a muscle or got kicked really hard. But I haven't been to karate recently, so I assume that I pulled a muscle. My right shin is also aching a little.

On the upside, I watched The Best of the Muppet Show today while working on my ruff. My mom's borrowing The Best of the Muppet Show and The Muppet Show, Season 1 from the library. We watched the first disc of season 1 of the Muppet Show as well. Also, the first season of Cowboy Bebop is in transit, and so is the soundtrack from Shine a Light. So I'm really happy about that.

I also made a mix CD of calming music - stuff like The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin, and If by Pink floyd, among other songs. I'll listen to it when I'm reading, or knitting, or doing algebra, and I'll probably listen to it before going to bed, to help me sleep.
