Turns out me and my santa share a common interest: music! So the theme for this arbitrary day has been set.

First off, I have been given a musical mug (quick side note: Can you call a mug a cup? I have done so in the title, but it seems a little off for me. Usually a cup with a handle is called mug, but does that mean a mug can't be called cup? I am not a native english speaker, so I gotta leave that for other people to decide) that uses a violin as a handle.

I have conducted a little more investigation, turns out the violin I use to make music is a lot more straight that the violin used as a mug handle. (See picture at the side.)

Secondly, there is a collection of anecdotes about a lot of composers. Who knew that "The one who doesn't want me can kiss my ass." can be attributed to Mozart? (Judging from the other stuff he wrote, it actually seems quite plausible.)

And last but not least a physical version of a Blink Dagger, a common item from one of my favorite games: Dota 2.

So now I sat there, trying to come up with a cool idea how to say thank you. A lot of ideas have been discarded, and the one in the video survived: The Concerto for Book, Blink Dagger and Cup. It is a short piece played on the gifts i received from my santa.

Calling it "Concerto" might be a little over the top, but i hope you guys enjoy it nonetheless.

Thanks, Santa!
