31. Where were you yesterday at 7:00 p.m.?
Kim - [Edited because my original answer was drafted prior to Thanksgiving.] Eating dinner at a fabulous local Mexican restaurant with my parents after my dad came over to satisfy his curiosity and investigate a series of about a dozen contiguous outlets in my house that spontaneously stopped getting power after we replaced outlets in another room. (Whothefuckevenknows.) Turns out, this is a job...

“I am a great admirer of hers and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska, she’s somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities. There are also some very important Cabinet positions that she could fill very, very well. I can’t imagine anybody who would do a better job of driving us to...

30. How did you get your last bruise?
Kim - I got my last bruise and my next twelve on the corner of the table that impinges on the path from the kitchen and the front door.
Lauren - I’m pale and clumsy, and as such, am unable to trace the origins of any of my bruises. I’m currently brewing a wicked bruise from my recent flu shot though.

29. Is the human race predictable?
Kim - Partially? If we were predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy all the great debates of economics would be settled by now I suppose.
Lauren - It’s predictable that I’ll most likely be disappointed in the way my peers react to science-related news. That is to say, stupidly.

28. Tell one interesting story about absolutely...
Kim - I helped my friend (the cigarette-roller) catch a bat one time. We went up to a cave in a state park about thirty minutes’ drive away with a mason jar and found a whole bunch of them roosting (do bats roost?) on the side of the cave wall. It was after dark and all we had was a dinky flashlight. He trapped the bat by jamming the mason jar up against the rock wall of the cave, managing...

27. Would you ever want to be a cop?
Kim - I hear (from cop friends) that around these parts, almost all of the crime is drug-related and most of it occurs in trailer parks, and as much as I like to travel and meet new people (which is not much at all), I think I’m good.
Lauren - I think, with all honestly, that I would let the power go to my head. (Spoiler alert for question 28) I would ask all kids I pulled over for $92 in...

Food Poisoning, Day 3
I need this to end, like, soonishly, so I can venture off the couch for periods longer than two exhausting minutes at a time and maybe get these presents wrapped and get this house cleaned. Problem is, all I want to do is lie still and mouth-breathe.
Ayeeeeeeee. No me gusta.

26. Is your most significant relationship over?
Kim - Huh? No, my eyeliner and I are still going strong, after all these years.
Lauren - I don’t like that this question implies you can only have 1 most significant relationship. I plan to have dozens over the course of my life because I haven’t even peaked yet.
