I had a four-hour wait at urgent care today and my phone was almost dead so i looked for something to read at the mall across the street but it didn't have any bookstores

"Kraft Dinner has been called the de facto national dish of Canada. [...] Canadians purchase 1.7 million of the 7 million boxes sold globally each week and eat an average of 3.2 boxes of Kraft Dinner each year, 55% more than Americans. The meal is the most popular grocery item in the country, where "Kraft Dinner" has an iconic status and has become a generic trademark of sorts for macaroni and cheese." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft_Dinner?wprov=sfla1

i like how they incorporated the infinite probability drive from hitchhiker's guide in how people move between parallel universes. honestly i think that movie captured what people liked about dna's writing far better than the actual hitchhiker's guide movie

pleasantly surprised by how many of these songs i really liked

also numbers 3 through 8 are really close and i can rearrange them on a whim tbqh
