dmxratedMe, Dad, and Marie left home first thing in the morning.
Early on, Dad stopped somewhere to buy a coffee. I went into the main part of the building to use the restroom, but when I came back, Dad was still in the Starbucks store. He gave me a couple of gift cards, and I ordered a mocha cookie crumble frapuccino, specifying extra shots, and sure enough, it actually tasted like something.
That diner we used to go to went out of business, and was replaced with one called Golden Eagle Diner. Dad already had another one in mind that he said had some Turkish items on its menu last time he went, and I previously misconstrued that to mean an actual Turkish place, but it turned out to be another regular diner called Delmar Diner. I ordered myself some chocolate-chip pancakes and a hamsteak.

Some time after we arrived at the house, Grandma's friend Chris (female) came over, and told me she's the one with some bunnyrabbits (something I must have brought up during one of their Brit club meetings before). I asked where she lives, and she offered to drive me to her house.
She and her also elderly daughter Wendy happen to have three of them. The first, Dollars, shed like crazy when we lured him out of his cage. The second one, Marmalade, wound up pissing down my shirt when I pressed him against my face. And the last one's name was Happy. They were all dark-colored, though I didn't keep track of which ones were black, brown, or blue.
I was sure enough to shower off when we got back, and while I previously did look for Grandma's cat Scraps (actually one of three she still has), I actually lacked the energy to press her against my face when she came into Grandma's room where she and Marie were chatting (Chris had already gone home by that point), although I did still tease her a bit.

Cousin David came over in time for dinner, and I asked if I could take a ride with him to his house afterwards. Aunt Marie offered to drive me.
Gave him some of my anime DVDs and both my volumes of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (actually made a point on the way here of reading volume 2 through), and asked to look through his collection of Playstation games for anything I might like (since he did once offer me his Xbox 360). While he doesn't have hard copies of anything for the Playstation 2, he still had quite a few PSX games in some kind of case even when I visited his house last year.
Out of everything he had, only Suikoden II was among anything I was actually looking for, even though he does have other anime-style RPGs, but he let me take the whole thing since he already has ISOs of everything. (He also mentioned once having this series called Xenogears but not being able to find it anywhere now, so good thing that does not pass for Game Gourmet.)
(Even though I've already got a ton of other games for all different systems planned out for the foreseeable future, I would sort of agree with this decision; maybe I could let Brian pick out whatever might interest him, and sell everything else that I'm not likely to ever get into.)
He also offered me an emulator called ePSXe, which I could surely use for when I get around to playing a fan-translation of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I gave him my flash drive, which I happened to have contained w/ my dice in my backpack's front pocket, but while he was able to copy a couple of related files onto it, the emulator itself proved too big for it, and he had to call Uncle Ray to help him with that.
In the meantime, he did ask me to let him know my thoughts whenever I play any of them, so I'll be sure to reserve my next break from Starbound for the aforementioned Suikoden II. (Also helps to be past all that confusion from before surrounding Food Fantasy.)
(Those DVDs were not some kind of ruse just to get stuff, by the way; there's actually one more thing I intend to give him when we come here again for Thanksgiving, something I will probably buy when we're back home.)
