stressed? nah. nahh.

I dub my Fridays, "English Fridays" as I have figured out that I have both ENG1100 and ENG 1120 6 hours apart on Fridays. And today in Canadian history we finally got to the 16th century with Jacques Cartier. (To which the class let out a tired enthusiastic "Hourrah!") I had to make a comic about his travels (w/Moe) back in elementary. It was an awesome comic (helped me somehow remember that big important chunk of history). Donnaconna, should not have let Cartier kidnap his kids! And Cartier! Snubbing the Amerindians is bad! That's why you all got scurvy! D: (erm, don't ask)

PS. Christopher Coloumbus was an awful person.

And I discovered a lovely musical. French, even-- Roméo et Juliette. First started hearing music on Rock Détente 94,9 (with Aimer) and I heard one song twice and loved it and could not find it. So today I randomly downloaded songs from the musical and I'm listening to a bunch when the one I could not find for ages comes on--Les rois du monde. (Aimer I had never heard before, randomly downloaded it and the voices sounded the same as the previously unknown song) The music? Very, very good. No, amazing.

Recommendations:
Listen to Yannick Noah's "parody" of La Marseillaise on the environnement and climat change and politics. (Aux Arbres Citoyens) The parody is that some lines sound similar to the anthem but are altered (like "aux arbres citoyens", which is the begining of the anthem's chorus which goes "aux armes citoyens!") but musically, it's not the same.

Then, watch the video:



I think if I can find Yannick Noah's newest CD Charango (but he's from France, I'd have to go to Hull or Montréal to find it) and Stefie Shock's Les Vendredis, I'll be relatively happy.

Hahahaha...Raspberry ginger ale keeps your mind off a lot of things.
