Sounds like fun. So, reader(s), here's a short list of things I like.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mergerecords.com\/band.php?tour=false&amp;band_id=76&amp;\">Spoon<\/a>. \"Anything you want\" just might be the best 2:16 ever.\n<li>The iPod. It sure beats carrying a new stack of CDs to work every day. Now make one with a battery that lasts at least 12 hours!\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyapplecountry.com\/mcintosh.htm\">McIntosh apples<\/a>. All other apples are insipid, compared to a good Mac. Unfortunately, Macs are extremely delicate and easily bruised. They're also somewhat rare in NC and are susceptible to all the typical apple maladies: grainyness, sourness, thick rubbery skin, etc.. But when they're available and perfect, nothing compares. No contest.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marzetti.com\/ourbrands\/categorydisplay\/index.cfm?type=13&amp;prodcat=2\">Marzetti's<\/a> Caramel Apple Dip. Now available in handy single-serving sizes, so you can throw one in your work bag with a Granny Smith apple (which are more consistent than Macs, but are too sour to eat without caramel) and have yourself a sweet treat - as soon as you find a knife to cut up the apple.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.citadelle-camp.com\/a_catalogue.html\">CAMP<\/a> maple syrup. It tastes like a maple tree.\n<li>Something Awful and their Photoshop Phriday's, but especially their recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.somethingawful.com\/articles.php?a=2388\">Christmas in Middle Earth<\/a>. Also good right now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.somethingawful.com\/articles.php?a=2392\">A Week in the Life of <i>The Sims 2<\/i><\/a>. Rude, crude and adolescent, and side-splittingly funny.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/fafblog.blogspot.com\/\">Fafblog<\/a>. The world's only source for Fafblog.\n<li>Antiques Roadshow. No matter how many times the Tiffany lamp ends up being worth $10,000, I'm still surprised.\n<li>Seagrove, NC. A small town in central NC, that's home to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discoverseagrove.com\/\">dozens and dozens<\/a> of small potters (over 80 of them). We drove out there for the fun of it last weekend, happened to show up on a day when 45 local potters were having a festival at the elementary school - beats driving around to all their different studios. We left with a trunkfull of stuff. If we had more places to put them in our house, we'd have bought twice as much.\n<li>Sept 28<sup>th<\/sup>. birfday.\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the style of McSweeneys, Ted at Crooked Timber makes a list of things he recommends.
