Nora.

Alright.  Confession: this project isn't exactly complete. 
Gasp!
I know I know.  I've got pictures, but what I really need is video.  Alas, it's after 11 and my nephew, who is in the room next to me, is asleep and would most certainly wake up if I were talking into my phone right by the wall, as it happens, that our rooms share.  So I'm making out an I.O.U. to everyone for one explanatory video.  I promise I shall add it soon.
So: Nora.  There is only one thing that should leap to mind for any cultured individual.  That's right.  Nora Charles of Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man series.  Classic classic cinema, folks.  But with all that screwball comedy, all those hijinks and martinis, who has time to keep up with the plot?  (Everyone, K. Bliss, actually since Nick very neatly lays it out at the dinner party.)  That's why I've made this lovely visual aid that would be oh so easy to follow with a handy video (coming soon I SWEAR.)
Each post it is a character (or a little drawing I made for some flare) and the string represents a relationship.  I was going to have different colored strings for different kinds of relationships (e.g. romance, family, employment, murder, etc.), but the only string I had (which isn't even mine, it's my sister's) was too thin to really differentiate from one another.  And then I thought about putting labels on the strings that explained the relationships, but they didn't stay up very well....
Oh the high hopes we have for ourselves that we fail to meet.  So that's where the video comes in.  Watch out for it.
In the meantime, enjoy Jonathan tomorrow.
