Nathan's Visit
Nathan came on Friday to visit me. I hadn't seen him since he visited Spokane in October, so I was very happy to have him come. I got to see the Project Peach animatic. I have to say, it's coming along well. Makes a lot more sense than The Elephant's Dream. I can't wait to see the finished version!
Since I have no money and also no compulsions against being a mooch, he took me out to eat a number of times. We went to a place called The Waffle House, which serves (suprise) waffles, but waffles of a baffling variety of flavors. He had the Spiced Fruit Waffle: "a selection of mixed vine fruit, coated with sweet spices and baked into the waffle." I had their Hummus  Avocado waffle: "fresh hummus, layered with wild rocket, sun-dried tomato and olives set upon a poppy seed waffle, drizzled with sweet chili dressing and topped with an avocado fan." Needless to say, it was delicious. We also went to Bengal Spice (a lovely Indian restaurant), and ate sandwiches at a lovely tea shop.
For some reason, there were a number of appealing places around campus that I hadn't yet explored, so we did a bit of that on Sunday. But mostly we walked around Norwich in places with which I was familiar, and I think I proved a good guide. Nathan certainly seemed to love the town.
We ended up walking about thirty miles over the course of Nathan's visit: 12 to and from from the airport on Sunday, 12 back and forth from the city (over the course of two trips), and easily six miles within the city and around campus. It was quite satisfying, and my feet aren't in the least bit tired.
We also, of course, spent a good time on the computer, listening to music and playing around with Python and C++. But you don't want to hear about that.
I am quite happy now.
