\"pandora_logo\"<\/a>kissed my computer screen just now.<\/p>\n

turns out i stumbled across (yet another<\/a>) truly remarkable application of the internet this afternoon.<\/p>\n

this time, it all started with a pair of musicians; and a pair of their greatest melodies. when combined, this fantastic foursome managed to distract me (quite easily<\/a>) from what i was just about to do<\/a>.<\/p>\n

then, as if one great musician wasn’t enough, europe’s best known jazzmaster (django reinhardt<\/a>) made his triumphant return to our very own rational radio<\/a> and played the most fantastic, free-flowing guitar<\/a> i’ve heard in a very long time.<\/p>\n

so i turned, looked back longingly at my guitar, and smiled.<\/p>\n

then i kissed my computer screen, and thought quietly to myself:<\/p>\n
