Robot (Kat) Report
This week is shaping up to be wild and crazy what with film festivities, The Calgary Arts Champion Congress and *hopefully* getting to go out to the mountains for the Banff Centre Indie Band Showcase. Serious awesomeness awaits me. For real.
I also get my two stitches out on Friday! Yup, Freda and Jamie will no longer get the pleasure of bothering my delicate palm. Lesson: don't use a knife to separate frozen burgers. And for those of you asking. Yes, I am vegetarian. It's not fair.
