No. Then again I haven’t been to a gym in 3 months. I played basketball for the first time since August just now and I was pretty good, blocking shots left and right. I’m going to see about joining a gym tomorrow…

And thanks for picking up what I was talking about with the 78*23 thing and making smart-ass comments anyway…

Have you tried it? Does it work? So not being able to do 78*23 has led you to a master in financial mathematics. What happens if you can't do it after your masters ? A PhD ? It's like buying a Ferari because you need something to get from work to the office. I mean ofcourse you can do it, but it's overkill. Seems the whole world wanted the Democrats to win. They should seriously let the Iraqis & Afghanis vote in the next election.</p> I want to know more about this dunking thing. Have you tried it? Does it work?

The Cohen comparisons are on the Amazon page. I find Cohen intensely boring, deliberately monotonous and not a particularly talented vocalist at all. I'm willing to suffer some of that, but all of it -- no thanks. Having said that, it's perfectly possible I'm wrong about Cohen and simply need to listen to him more carefully. Thing is, songwriters are free to express their creativity and don't have to pander to my aesthetic shortcomings, but serving up microwaved vegetarian pasta (nutritious, wholesome and completely inedible) when I'm looking for lasagna is just not going to engage me, plain and simple.

FWIW, DR has a jazz radio channel too! I don’t know if I mentioned this in my posts about Copenhagen, but the mix of music I heard playing (a surprising amount of 80’s stuff mixed in with more contemporary stuff) was one of the highlights of the trip.

Last.fm also lets you create radio stations based on artists you like. Pretty cool.
