Beads? I hate the word. As I hate hell, all Montagues, and this frickin' bracelet. At long last I have restrung Shoggoths in Bloom, and in a merciful universe, I will never have to restring it again. I am never happy with it, so I can only hope someone else will be.

Quirks: Zhirin's mother will be played by Margaret Cho. Since she's a bad guy, this will be interesting, and highly amusing.

Research: sewers of Venice (or lack thereof), growing conditions for myrtles and pomegranates, the floorplan of Alhambra

In ancient times if you were sick, they'd make you bleed

Oh honey, I know it hurts.

So, in an attempt to get me to stop sucking at Guitar Hero, Steven started showing me how to play various real stringed instruments. And I found one that's somewhat intuitive for me, or at least the most intuitive of any instrument I've ever picked up.

The cello.

Yeah. Invest in some earplugs if you're on the North American continent. I suspect my cats will stage a revolution soon.

But it's fun! And a nice workout.

I still suck at Guitar Hero.
