Hey,

So I've been reading this book all about the composer Georg Philipp Telemann. It appears as though Telemann, in addition to his wonderful music, was something of a card-player and gambler. In fact, his turns of fortune at the card table seem to have driven a great deal of his creative output. In particular, he once wagered pretty much everything he had on the turn of a card. It came out in his favor and he was inspired to write his Concerto in G Major. So it's a fascinating little book. It's called Going for Baroque.

p.s. It's been a morning of minor irritations. Bad puns are my solace and my right.

Hey,

A number of you like Oscar Wilde. Can the master of bon mots master the boneheads of Jersey Shore?

Answers point to yes:

(there are another 4 of these and they're all pretty good)

Twice, in the past two days, I've gotten deliciously close to making someone snarf their drink. Someday I will achieve this proud milestone and if the spray drenches me, I shall wear it as the badge of honor it is.

Although Tesla Coil is not one of them and I mean, there's nothing more fundamentally indivisibly awesome like Tesla Coils.
