Robot (Kat) Report

Holy peaches, Calgary is raking it in on the CJSW charts this week! Check it out: HALF of the top 20 are Calgarians and if you include the Calgary label, Revolution Winter, on that list we're like platinum awesomeness. So. Exciting.

For American Thanksgiving this week I am seriously contemplating doing a ton of cooking, because that is something I love to do and will use any excuse available. However, I probably won't as a true feast requires a day's worth of preparation, which I will instead spend lapping up the sultry sounds of new music that has been sent to me, just as good.

In other news, this past weekend I discovered that I have watched 147 of 558 movies I have arbitrarily decided are "classics." I'm impressed, astonished and about to embark on a movie-a-day diet. Watch out lone indie video-rental store still clinging on for dear life. I'm coming.

Robots,
-Kat
