In college my roommate andI had a collar lizard and a tarantula aspets. We kept their food (crickets ) in a third cage. So we always had cricket noises to sleep to. It was nice.

They're not mine, actually. They're my brother's fiancé's lizards - whenever she's out of town she asks me to check in on them. Since I love these lizards I certainly don't mind.

I love them because we understand each other - much like me, the lizards sit still most of the day hiding from the light and only react if food wanders in front of them.

We all like animals we can relate to. Like me, my cat wandered through different people's houses until someone thought it was cute enough to take care of.

Because of course I would know that.

Then it's good of Therns to bring them food. They probably work hard and stand out in the cold a lot. They could do with a good meal.

They probably could, if they were not so desperate for attention.

Is there a pill out there that'd allow me to hibernate for a week? Somebody work on that.

With its current level of activity, a child could overthrow TET. Then decree nap time and a carton of milk for all.

That might be a valid quest. Personally I find the Cartoon Hangover channel on YouTube quite entertaining. Also there's gaming and drinking with friends to be considered.
