Invisibility, Cthulhu, tracking devices
Jan. 10th, 2011 10:41 amI saw photographs of the Cotswolds at the O3 Gallery, before going to the library to get a selection of graphic novels to read.
I met Marios soon after that and we sipped coffee and then went to Modern Art Oxford and the Ashmolean and saw Thomas Houseago's What Went Down, which included sculptures of giant spoons and masks. We wandered around the Ashmolean, looking at Guy Fawkes' lantern and octopus netsuke.
Outside again, we peered into a window and saw never lost labyrinth string, an invisibility cloak repair kit, fairy lights powered by real fairies, nose shrinking cream and other such cool objects. I presume they were part of the Story Museum.
Back home, we made caffeine out of a build your own molecule kit, and watched Bottle Rocket and The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu.
Sunday involved Ghost World and walking around Shotover Country Park following green squares. We saw a sign on a manhole cover that said Oxford Brookes University, so we presume they must have an underground campus.
Marios gave me a new graphics card, but I have yet to sort out the drivers. He also gave me a GPS device that can be used to create logs of where I have been and it has a button on it so that I can mark points of interest. It will be useful when I take photos, so I know where I took them. I also like the idea of tracking where I have been, mostly so I can know where I have not been and can go there.
