It's ... impossible, frankly, to create a space where holidays do not exist. People will accidentally wear a pin or a T-shirt or a sweater or whatever, people will barge in unnoticing and carry those events in with them, conversations will accidentally drift in directions ... even without a global pandemic and our complete lack of funds, there's no way an actual, physical establishment could be made to guarantee holidays won't intrude.

We still like the idea, though. A fictional space, representing the idea that it's okay to set an impossible boundary and be able to spend a while not having to avoid or shut out a societal celebration you don't belong in.

Not sure if it'd be better realized as a story, an interactive fiction, a Bitsy game, or something else.

Definitely losing momentum on journalling here.

We're working on another PICO-8 project that's a bit technical and hairy - we've gotten some cool results but not, unfortunately, results we consider usable. And the next thing we want to try with it is pretty messy with the mathematics.

...I don't know if it's messy. We need to figure out how we want to approach it.

I'm sure there's other stuff going on. There's the tabletop RPG Dreamwidth group we're organizing, we're doing a bunch of exercise (Wii Fitness Boxing and just, aerobics in the back yard) ... idk. We've been forgetting about this a lot.

I guess this is a post, y'all. Hopefully we'll have more to say another day.
