Ladies and gentlemen, we here at P&C have a special treat for you today. Miss Gina Z has stopped by with a GUEST POPCAST! And even better, she's created a theme that is sure to get you feelin' all kinds of good. So without further ado, I give you the talented Miss Gina Z! (she made today's P&C righteous tiger header everyone! Tell me you don't want that on a T-shirt… C'MAWN NAW.)

Let's quit pussyfootin' around the truth: Life kinda sucks a lot of the time. From minor annoyances like car trouble to bigger issues like getting mauled by your beloved pet white tiger, there really doesn't seem to be much to be happy about some days, and no amount of chocolate, Seinfeld reruns or OxyContin can make the pain go away. But sometimes hearing a catchy tune and another human being tell you that it's alright (or that someone they know is feeling alright, despite not feeling too good herself) is enough to polish that turd you call your life.
