Making my day

I had a bit of a rough start this morning.. I've caught the beginning-of-the-school-year cold, and decided to save the University from my cloudy headed self and stay home. This gave me time to slowly do my morning chores, including feeding the fish, where I discovered a fatality in the pond. Not a fish, but a bird. Squick. I'm not entirely sure what to do with it, and I hope the fish don't get poisoned or something as a result.

But then, as I sat down to do some work, I remembered an artist who I heard on the CBC Radio 3 podcast yesterday. Procrastination set in, and I purchased Rae Spoon's album Love is a Hunter.

She has such a sweet voice and such interesting arrangements, it's a truly excellent album. It hurts me to say, however, that I missed her show here by only 5 days! Curses! I'll be keeping an eye out for her in the future, that's for sure.
