Steve just stopped by with a present for David: a totally cool and retro Namco game controller for the TV. Pac Man, Dig Dug, Galaxians, Rally-X and Bosconians. Complete with cheesy graphics and wacky sounds, too. We’re not about to run out and drop a lot of ducats on an expensive game system, we’re perfectly happy being Luddites on this. They’re stupid good fun.

And I just realized something: “Retro” is probably related to “retarded.” Well done me.

Also, we’ve decided to head off to see the new “Harry Potter” movie. I continue to get hits for the “homing hippogriffs” online game here, and now at last I can see the real thing. Er, the CGI version of the real thing. Which doesn’t exist, because it’s imaginary.

Anyway, we’re off soon. 3 hour movie. Better take care of a few things before we go. 😉
