  • Stress

    Stress. It’s been a busy week at work; the TC Sale is supposed to launch tomorrow; and on top of everything… it looks like Dr. Amy Jones is SICK! She was really weird last night, roaming the house and never really settling down. And then today we suddenly noticed that she’s going to the litterbox…

  • The Hollowmen

    If you’re like me, every time you hear The Hollowmen credits start, you think, “What IS that song?!” Tonight the Snook tracked it down for me. It’s an 80’s band from New Zealand called The Bats and the song is “North by North.” There you go!
