Went to a baseball game, ate a footlong corndog, and drank a 25 ounce beer, as is appropriate for Labor Day weekend. Would've been better if the team won, but well, you can't have everything....

The first time I heard Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place" was as a snippet played on "Northern Exposure." I wrote "feet on the ground, head in the sky, make it up as we go along" on my Converse (I couldn't have been over 14), then probably didn't hear the rest of the song for 10 years or more.
I think it'd be really nice to read about people's first time hearing a song. A nice long thread of stories. But I don't know how to get the thread to take off. Maybe if you re-post with your story? Anyway, I'll start with my memories of hearing Buckets of Rain by Bob Dylan for the very first time..

I can't pronounce the words "paths" and "moths" properly.
What's something mundane that you're terrible at? For instance, I'm the absolute worst at being able to read people's special customized vanity plates. They have to be absolutely straightforward for me to get them

I have finally solved a longstanding mystery... in trying to identify a bad movie that I saw as a youngster/preteen, I was actually conflating the movies "Masters of Menace" and "Far Out Man." Both are bad and both are from 1990.

How I know I had a bad week: I was trying to psychically apologize to an orange that I left in the fridge, as I had meant to bring it for lunch.

I really don't need to be reminded of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" all the time, but okay...

I was proud of myself for being almost finished with the slightly fancy chocolate bar my friend gave me for Christmas, but then she just gave me 3 more for my birthday 🙃 I gave one to Jeff, but I guess I need to step it up!

I have been a "no lettuce" person my whole life (other than the aforementioned Vietnamese foods)... but I sure miss raw spinach and cabbage (and cilantro, and...) at this point!

We were planning to go out for Vietnamese food tomorrow, then I realized... no fresh springrolls, no bún... not much of a point if one has to scrupulously avoid lettuce. Stupidest timeline.
