Assorted minor updates

My piano is still broken. Apparently, Young Chang, the Korean company that made my piano, no longer stocks the part for the damper pedal mechanism. And my tuner couldn't find one through other source. So Young Chang has to make one special for my piano, which they are doing. Needless to say, this is going to take a while. By the time my tuner has the part, the piano will need another tuning anyway.

Other Kenjari and I are going to the Quest game this weekend. I'm excited enough to have anxiety dreams about not making it there through random and surreal twists of fate.

Tomorrow night I'm going to be helping my sister rehearse a singer for an upcoming music recital. I don't know if I'm going to be in the recital itself yet, though. Yay for making music with other people.

I've started work on "Burning the Harvest", a string quartet based on a Polish folk song. It's going well so far. Composing feels good - even though taking breaks is good for restoring the creative energies, I do feel better mentally and emotionally when I'm working on something.

Kessalyn, my dwarven cleric/fighter. The GMs were given a brief write-up of her character background.
Other Kenjari is playing Stefan.
The set-up reminds us of a certain sci-fi movie and TV show, so we've been referring to the game as "DwarfGate SG-1". Of course, we know better than to assume that the game will actually reflect said TV show. ;)

Heya, what clan is Kessalyn?
