Feb. 20th, 2004 12:02 pmAfter reading the section in Barbara Ehrenreich's "Nickel and Dimed" on maids, I will never hire a cleaning service. The whole thing just disgusted me.
Who else has read that book?

I am crabby and nauseated today, for no real reason. I wish I could curl up in bed with my dog, and some books.

I was trying to go to sleep when I started thinking about a video and song I studied in high school. The song is called "Jour de plaine" and it was sung and composed by Daniel Lavoie, a Franco-Manitoban singer.
The synthesizer in this song is really cheesy but the combination of the illustrations and the words in the song make me tear up.
I managed to find it on a government site for Western Canadian French culture.

(you have to click on the link on the right for the video, and it's about 6 minutes long)
Further investigation of the site revealed a song by Polly Esther, the band of my friend Anique- http://collections.ic.gc.ca/chansons/nouvelle/p_esther.html
