Minghong & John try out their masks
Originally uploaded by Mellicious.

Here's is Columbine's ritualist, Minghong (which means "red" thus she always wears red), and my assassin, John, with their dragon masks, which were given out at the Dragon Festival last week. The masks aren't really good for anything - they're just sort of a collectible item - but they are sort of cool, aren't they? And as you saw if you looked at the picture I posted yesterday, they can be dyed various colors. Gia's is dyed red; so far my others are still the color they came in. The price of dye soared last week after they were given out, but it's gotten back down pretty close to normal this week so maybe I will try dying another one soon. Three of my characters have them - I decided it was more trouble than it was worth to get the other three to Shing Jea Island, where the masks were being given out.

One of my co-workers is leaving for a job in Houston, so we are going to have a going-away lunch today. Those are usually fun.

In other news, I am taking my mother to Bryan again this weekend for a baby shower. I'm sure the shower will be sort of fun, but I'm not really looking forward to the trip. It seems like we just went.

(I tried to post that meme that everybody's been doing, but it was being screwy and I didn't have the patience to try to figure out why. Maybe I will try again later.)

Minghong means "bright red."




Heilong means "black dragon."




Now you know how to write the names of the Li sisters.

On this subject of names, I would like to point out that if you assume that "Gia" is short for Giovanna (which is the feminine form of John, in Italian), then I gave my two Canthan characters the same name. Sort of.

(I didn't figure that out until after I'd done it - not that I care, really. Very few people will notice, I'm sure.)
