Busy bee

Life is quite hectic...it's already 5:30pm and all I've had to eat today were some grapes and a can of Progresso's Italian-wedding soup. I have been listening to a lot of Bon Iver - the little calm in my life that I have found time for. For Emma has been on repeat all day...AND I LOVE IT.

Too bad I didn't know about him earlier. He was at the first-annual 2008 Outside Land's Festival that I attended in SF. Unfortunately, I didn't know...therefore, I did not see. I'd love to see him live.
