Random thought of the day: it must be getting difficult to wash your hands (or dry them) in a public restroom if you're invisible. Everything's on photo-sensitive triggers these days.
Also, I bought some "Invisible Cards" when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jfb and I went to the ICA a few days ago. They're not really invisible, but they're clear plastic, waterproof, and fun to shuffle. They're surprisingly difficult to deal, though, partly because they slide around, but partly because it's hard to see where the piles are that you're dealing onto. It's also weird to play Gin Rummy with them because unless the discard pile is very neatly stacked, you can see several cards underneath. I need to learn more standard-deck games for 2 or 3 players in restaurants and cafes.
Oh, and, the Influence of Cartoons in Contemporary Art exhibit is not that great. The most memorable thing was the really cool sculpture made of thousands of plastic army men, indians, Wonder Woman figurines, etc. glued together in a mandala pattern. The rest was sort of uninspiring, not helped by the misleading or confusing caption-plaques provided by the museum. But it causedjfb and me to debate the difference between "cartoon" and "comic", which I found interesting but jfb probably found annoying. Damn that Scott McCloud, with all his definitions and distinctions! It's all just Art, maaaan!

But yeah, pretty iffy show. Aside from the mandala, I enjoyed the black superhero cartoons and it was cool to see some Henry Darger pieces in person, but otherwise, enh.
