Yup. It actually happened. I turned fucking 70! Is this possible? It’s so hard to believe. I don’t feel it. Still do my traditional killing of the sacrificial cake as I’ve done for many years to appease the Birthday Gods!

Unbelievable!! 35 years? Is that possible? Of all the many soundtracks I’ve done with Tim this is definitely one of my favorites. I’ll never forget what a wild, fun, crazy, and liberating film this was to work on.

Yuki loves her “Puppaccino”. And FYI if anyone is concerned that this looks a bit cruel, or like I’m having fun at her expense, rest assured this is not the case. With a mere tap of the paw the cup comes right off.
