was at the LSO last night - tchaikovsky romeo and juliet, tchaikovsky piano concerto 1 (perf by Barry Douglas), and prokofiev symph 6
was lovely

maybe that's off topic since it's not torn OR trump related
my bad
i just like talking markets

right before results started coming in, market odds for brexit went to like 9:1 for remain in betting markets (90% probability of remain) so there were some stupidly cheap ways of buying a huge amount of upside in case it ended up going leave

i bought some options extremely cheaply and made a whole lot of money when the tables turned and leave won - essentially for every dollar or risk i had ~ $20 of upside
ended up helping alot since my salary took a huge hit because of the pound weakening ;)

i attended a performance of carmen a couple years ago when i lived in the usa
it's always been one of my favourites (largely due to the overture and the aforementioned habanera) so it was amazing to see it live

been in opera mode lately
loving rossini overtures
here's the thieving magpie

I've seen planets performed a few times
fantastic

i had never listened to alexander nevsky but it is fantastic
i'm only a decade and a half into deep classical listening as i didn't have easy access when i lived in india (until i was 18)

proko is my fav of all time
