there is a bit of a cold snap here, and of course everyone is freaking out.

this morning, on the radio, this crazy old guy (john aielli) who hosts a great music show on NPR, recommended that people "cook some spaghetti; you know, just turn the oven on and open the door - that should warm things up nicely. it might dry the air out a little, so maybe run your humidifier at the same time."

and before you think he was joking, he incapable of humor - everything he says should be taken literally.
