Yesterday (Friday) Yvette & Noel stopped by to see Garrett, thus satisfying the requirement that they visit before he's old enough to be Yvette's professor :)
It was nice to see them again. I get to haul out all of the games I've accumulated over the year and show them off. We had a great time playing Warioware on the Cube as well as seeing how far one could slide face-first down the mountain in SSX3. And Noel seems to be in the market for any kind of console that will let him play the Lord of the Rings games :)
Plus they got to see Garrett and all of his many cool toys, as well as giving Julie an excuse to make her crazy yummy mozzarella chicken... mmm...
And I'd be remiss to not mention the Linux SDK (Solid-food Digestion Kit) that they gave us. This consisted of Cron Flakes (corn flakes with the rooster replaced with a penguin) that is to be 'plugged into Garrett's serial port when he needs a new kernel', a liquid cooling unit (penguin-shaped sippie cup from Ikea), a wireless interface (spoon with holder, fish- and penguin-shaped, respectively) and Komi The Space Frog game (a bowl set in the shape of a frog, also from Ikea)... and a frog towel for the bath. All told, very cool. I love having friends who are as geeky as me :)
And they've got a Saturn. Not the Sega kind (though they do have one of those) but the car kind. It's the older brother to my ninja-mobile, but it seems to be able to get them all the way over to Acton now, which is a good thing :)
Now if only we could get James to resurface and do something about that old proposal of mine for Friday night D&D sessions :)
