Ursula Thorsen

Santa Odin

February 7, 2024November 30, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Ursula are having a Facetime video chat with Noah's mom, Granny Thorsen, who tells Ursula, "So Odin appeared to me in a vision, wanting to know what you'd like him to gift you for Yule." Ursula quickly replies, "An iPad!" and an irate Noah exclaims, "What?! You asked Santa for Lego!" Unfazed, Granny Thorsen says, "iPad it is!" then she continues, "Remember to leave out straw for Odin's horse Sleipnir, dear." An excited Ursula replies, "OK. Does Sleipnir like carrots, too?" and Granny Thorsen tells her, "Yes, and Odin likes whiskey." Still annoyed, Noah tells his mother, "No no no... Mom, an iPad is too expensive! Even for 'Odin'!" (and he makes air quotes as he says Odin's name.) Now annoyed herself, Granny Thorsen waves dismissively and rolls her eyes, saying, "Quiet, boy! 'Odin' won $10,000 at bingo last Thursday."

  Once again, the “boy” tries to tell his mother what to do and she ain’t having it. Ursula’s getting her iPad from “Odin” no matter what.

Spice Girls Shopping

February 7, 2024November 29, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Grandma Agnes has brought Ursula to the antiques mall to shop for Ruth. Grandma Agnes says, "OK, keep your eyes peeled for something your mommy would like for Christmas." Ursula immediately points to a boxed set of five Spice Girls on Tour dolls and says, "Is that a set of Spice Girls dolls?" Surprised, Agnes says, "Huh? Oh, yes. It is." Ursula replies, "Cool, our work here is done. Now for that pizza and ice cream you promised."

  Trust Ursula to find the quickest route to finishing up her Christmas shopping.

Santa Agnes

February 7, 2024November 28, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is decorating a large Christmas tree in the living room while Grandma Agnes talks to Ursula and asks, " So what do you want from Santa, Ursula?" Ursula responds with her wish list, "I want a bunch of those Foodie Mini Brands balls, and the Lego Goat Boat set and the Lego tiger, and a rock tumbler and a candy chemistry set and..." Grandma Agnes interrupts her to ask, "Don't you want any Barbies?" Ursula replies, "Naw, I'm kinda over Barbie. Plus Mommy keeps insisting I shouldn't play with them because they'll be worth money someday." Furious, Grandma Agnes growls and says, "Your mommy needs to get her own Barbies!" and Ursula tells her, "She does have her own. She keeps them locked away from me... and from Daddy and his GI Joe dolls." Incensed, Noah interrupts his tree-decorating to say, "Hey! They're not dolls, they're action figures!"

  Well, one supposes the 12″ GI Joes do see a lot of action with Barbie… also, we can tell what Grandma Agnes bought Ursula for Christmas.

Countdown

February 7, 2024November 25, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is in the kitchen, making sweet potato fries. Ursula comes in with her school backpack, scowling. Noah asks her, "Hi, honey! How was school?" Ursula snarls, "Boring! Nothing but math and social studies and spelling!" Noah smiles and replies, "Well, you have a couple days off." Ursula rolls her eyes and says "And then 9 years, 7 months, and 5 days." (ie, til she graduates and is free of school). Noah says, "I'm surprised you don't have it down to the minute." Ursula replies, "That would be too much math."

  Apparently no one ever told Ursula that there are countdown apps that will do that math for her.

Happy Thanksgiving!

February 7, 2024November 24, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ruth and Agnes are drinking coffee at Agnes' kitchen table. In the background we see Noah and Frank sitting on the antique sofa, sleeping. Ursula comes up to Ruth and Agnes and points at her dad and granddad and says, "OK, they're asleep. Now can we order pizza?"

  Noah and Frank are in food comas and Ursula wants pizza… again… happy Thanksgiving!

Seek & Destroy

February 7, 2024November 23, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula is watching Noah's cover band rehearse in the garage. She interrupts to ask, "Can you guys play 'Seek & Destroy'?" Noah leans down to tell Ursula, "This is Daddy's U2 tribute band, honey. We don't play Stooges songs." Annoyed, Ursula says, "I was talking about Metallica." Confused, Noah scratches his head and asks, "Since when do you like Metallica?" Ursula replies, "Since Duke said he'd disown me as his sister if I didn't agree that the first four Metallica albums are the greatest ever made." Noah is seething and tells Ursula "Duke's not allowed to disown you. Especially since we all know the four greatest albums ever made are '1984', 'Achtung Baby', 'Theater of Pain', and 'Slippery When Wet'... the Japanese version with the original wet t-shirt cover."

  Noah discovers to his dismay that he may not be the biggest influence on Ursula’s musical taste.

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad

February 7, 2024November 21, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula seizes the opportunity to get homework answers while Noah is distracted helping his drummer set up for rehearsal.

Ursula might have gotten a wrong answer from Noah, but at least she didn’t have to bother Googling the answers.

Ursula on Watch Duty

February 7, 2024November 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Agnes gets Ursula to stand guard at the top of the stairs. (Er, sit guard.)

Grandma Agnes needs that extra five bucks for gambling… or maybe she’s just cheap.

No Deal

February 7, 2024November 18, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah tells Ursula that she'll be being babysat. They also talk about spitball lessons, but can't agree on the profit spitting.

Ursula still hasn’t learned that half of something is better than all of nothing.
