King on wheels
Very early in the morning on Friday we went to Philadelphia bus station to pick up our beloved Moominmuppet! Then, since it was so early, we all went home and fell asleep. We woke up somewhere around lunchtime, and went out to a pizza place called Parma Pizza for lunch. Then we came back and played Pictionary.Moominmuppet: *draws a crowned head*
Marnanel: King.
Moominmuppet: *draws breasts*
Marnanel: King on wheels.
In the evening Riordon went off to Smreigner's house to sleep over and get ready for Junior Dealer Weekend at Shupp's Grove (a sort of huge flea-market in a forest). The rest of us went to the fire brigade's fair where we played silly games.
In the morning, Floatyfish and Onib turned up and drove us about a hundred miles to Gunnison Beach in New Jersey (we were worried it would be closed, what with the NJ government lockout, but it's actually a federal beach). We sat on the beach and looked at shells and things, and I read more of the Mabinogion (it was the part about Teyrnon and the foal). One naked person was happily making a walled space zie called a "sanctuary" out of twigs and shells, and zie gave Firinel a coconut. I might post photos of us at the beach later (but they may be NSFW).
When we returned to Pennsylvania we were just in time for the fireworks, after which we all walked around the fair again together and ate funnel cake. We went home, showered, and fell asleep. At some awfully early hour the next morning Smreigner drove us back to Philly bus station where we bid goodbye to Moominmuppet (zie's home safely now). I'm now missing zir very much :( I hope we all see one another again very soon.
Today we went up to Shupp's Grove to see Riordon. Her stand has a sign which says "RIORDON'S STAND - if you see anything you licke ask and we can deal (exsept the doler or less)" I looked around the area and found a set of flashcards from the sixties designed to teach binary in schools ("Makes The NEW COMPUTER MATH More Easily Understood"!) It's just like this one, though I bought it for 50¢.
In hacking news, I have realised that the alt-f6 keystroke I added to Metacity should have been a window binding and not a screen binding. This means that switching from alt-Tab to alt-f6 in midstream should be possible. Unfortunately when I've tried changing it it breaks alt-Tab switching entirely; next job is to find out why.
