realizing long dormant dreams

HA.  That title is way too solemn for what this actual post is about, which of course is nintendo.  I stumbled upon a picture on the internet a while ago of a person playing Mario Kart 64 out in the beauty of nature, projected against a blank wall.  What more could a girl with a super nerd fiance ask for?!  And, more importantly, what more could a super nerdy fiance give a girl who would ask for such things?!

Well we planned and plotted, and packed up a giant haul of things to bring up the street to Joe's house where it had been decided that the shenanigans would go down.  I brought the meat and cheese, and JP hoofed the heavy suitcase.  It was not lost on us that we both had extremely light weight and powerful wireless machines in our pockets that had far more power then all the heavy stuff we were shleping about, but nostalgia knows no weight my friends, so up that hill we did walk.

After the food had been consumed and the sun was just setting, we slung some extension cords out Joe's bedroom window (brown to match the brick work all sneaky style), and let the magic begin.

After a few rounds we realized a fan would be necessary to blow away all the mosquitoes that we couldn't swat away while in the throws of karting.  I'm sure you understand how these things can be.

And in the end, it was everything I ever thought it could be, I wish you could have been there to experience it for yourself because it was glorious.
