Nuggets

I couldn't think of anything significantly interesting to write, so I figured I'd post a serious of only semi-interesting items:

• My roommates is exercising in the other room right now. We've acquired an old-school Nordic Track that when used, sounds like massive machinery grinding, welding, cranking and creaking.

• I purchased two new albums: The Strokes's Is This It and Spoon's Kill the Moonlight. Both albums are good, but I'm just not really feeling them right now. I was in the mood for something more mellow, more Beck Sea Change-y, but forgot that when I was at Best Buy.

• It's really cold outside (and inside our apartment, for that matter). The long underware have been put on. I have no more levels of warmth beyond this.

• Alison and I attemped to make Ricciarelli cookies recently. They really did taste great, but we needed a large, old Italian woman giving us tips to avoid baking amoeba-shaped blobs with the consistency of stale Peeps.

• This is a great article about not only why FM radio is awful, but why XM satellite radio may save the day.

• If you didn't see it on Andy's site already, this is funny.
