Hooray for iChat and MacBooks

Yesterday amy called me right before I was about to go to bed. I was still pretty nervous about the talk I had to give today (it went well according to the crowd, so that was nice).

We were chatting it up when she told me Jordan was over, who I haven’t spoken to in ages. So he got on the phone and whilst talking I said, why don’t we get on iChat and webcam it up across he country?!!?

And wah-la!

Magic! It was like I was there, live in person. It was great. I almost stayed to watch a movie, but I needed to get some shut eye so I went to bed instead.

But before I did we had a growling gnome match:

And then I was serenaded:

And then Amy tried on the Narwhal shirt I got her:

Apparently they have all been obsessed with Tom Jones “It’s Not Unusual” and Amy asked Jordan to play the song Iron and Wine Style. It’s beautiful and warm and I miss being there.

With friends that are so far away it’s hard to remember what it was like before. I told someone a long time ago that I wished I could bottle up good memories and relive them whenever I want.

I think last night would go in a small blue bottle with a wooden cork and parchment paper written in black ink with a giant white quill pen.
