Michael Giacchino’s scores are just beautiful. They always trigger some kind of emotion inside me.

Feel no different, but found two ginger hairs. Grey I can live with. Not ginger.

My girlfriend brought along two little gerbils when she moved in with me. They had been with her for over 3 years and I’m happy I got the pleasure of meeting them. I’m talking past tense but it only really applies to one.

Monster and Kick their names. After the energy drinks. Oli is a creative one for sure. Kick hasn’t been too well for a few days, she’s been lazy and breathing heavy. She passed away this morning.

I was the first to notice and telling Oli wasn’t the easiest thing in the world. Oli left the room while I took Kick out of the cage. She was cold, heavy but peaceful. I called her a poor little baby before I put her in a small box.

Oli and I took a walk into the woods to find a nice spot to bury Kick. I dug the hole and carved a ‘K’ into the tree facing. It was such a strange feeling to be doing that.

I’ve never lost a pet in that way before. My mum would never let me have anything other than a goldfish when I was growing up and they don’t seem to live long enough to get attached. It’s really gotten to me though. They’ve been here for about 5 months and I really do love the little things.

Monster is running around the cage and being loud, she’s definitely lost without her soul mate.

Pets are a wonderful edition to any household but they always end up breaking your heart.

We’ll miss you, Kick.
