Well, it looks like I'm getting Leopold Mozart's treatise on playing the violin and the Strings Backstage "Violin Virtosos" book for Christmas. I meant to pay for them, but then there was a mix-up with my account, so the bank cancelled the transaction, but the books have already been delivered, and amazon.com doesn't care or something. It's times like this when I wish I knew more about the inner workings of electronic finance. I'm going to try to contact my bank, but I have a feeling they'll just say, "Well, damn, I wish you hadn't jumped the gun, there's really nothing we can do about it now." Uhhhh... Right, someone up there must really want me to play violin.

Jézus, kérek, szeretem jól hegedûlni, nagyon jól...kösönöm szépen!

In other news, it's times like this when I'm glad I'm in the math community in Hungary! Not only did we have a swell bubbly & sammich party yesterday evening, but tomorrow night there is going to be a free concert by Musica Profana at the Rényi Institute. I'm looking forward to it; I've never seen a viola de gamba played live!

Today, however--today I have a lot of writing to do about T-spaces, approximating continuous functions over a closed interval, the Haar theorem, and linear projections of functions. I want an A and my professor wants to give me an A; it's just a matter of producing something worthy of an A.

Ran into the henchman that severed Anne Boelyn,
He did it right quickly a merciful man,
She said one plus one is two,
But Henry said that it was three,
So it was,
Here I am.

Actually, I'm not getting the books for Christmas afterall, I'm still paying for them. *Phew* Push on, folks, no unintentional credit fraud here!
