The best one I like, this one is not illegal. You can go, but it's sort of hard to find.

Yeah, you can watch it for the beautiful ambient sounds in the background, although there are easier ways to get that experience.

My new thing is watching 'Cat TV', which are YouTube videos designed for cats to watch birds and other wildlife.
J-L Cauvin - Hockey
Q: When we were asking about obsessions, the thing I thought you were going to talk about was that you used to be like a very good movie reviewer.
I was a huge Utah Jazz fan in basketball but needed something to occupy me after my team started tanking, so I got into hockey.
