If you’ve never driven across Montana, it does this thing where – the sky in Montana is gigantic, they call it ‘Big Sky Country’ and that’s not just advertising – and there’s mountains in the distance and you think that you’re going to get to them but then you don’t, and you realize you are going to spend the night in Montana and then you drive and drive and the mountains never get any closer and never get any closer and then, holy shit i’m in the mountains! And it’s kind of like turning 30 in that regard.

ursulavernon, as quoted in Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap, Episode 89 “I Will Show You Fear in a Handful of Ramen” (the story then devolves into what happens when you’re traveling to college and find yourself at the small town’s singular restaurant on a Sunday morning after church)

Yes. I do a weekly podcast where my husband and I eat prepackaged food and get inebriated. For some reason, otherwise sensible people listen. (Also a very short one called the Hidden Almanac, but that’s weird alternate history and only five minutes long.)

Yeah, the “personality test app” is a fairly well-known virus. (Not always well-known enough, unfortunately.)

My talents include being able to hear a Fleetwood Mac song playing lightly in the background of a loud, crowded store or supermarket.

#music #yes #I once did this with a Fleetwood Mac song that I had never previously heard #also with two Phil Collins songs that I had never previously heard #more recently I was in the grocery store and heard the sound of an alto holding ‘ohhhhhh’ #the longer it went on the more convinced I became that it was ‘No Light No Light’ #until by the twelve-second mark or so (when it ended) I was completely unsurprised to find out that in fact it *was*

“Whatever their half-baked plans are, we need to make sure they don’t interfere with our own half-baked plans – otherwise we’ll all end up with quarter-baked plans and that’s practically raw.”

#yeah pretty much #I ignore the symbols and avoid buying anything fancy enough that the symbols are likely to matter #the only clothes I do special washing to are my wool socks #which go in the bathroom sink with some Woolite #(it’s ShopRite-brand Woolite) #(I haven’t set foot in a ShopRite in nearly seven and a half years) #(I still have half a bottle of ShopRite-brand Woolite) #(this tells you how often I do special clothes washing)
