house to myself, baby!
Well, my parents headed upstate for their annual Thanksgiving weekend trip to Lake George today. So, I've got the house to myself again. It's nice. I get to putz around for a few days without worrying about parents or even just having to live around two other people. They're not always like parents to me anymore. I've finally hit that age.

Anyway, they left Dad's truck at Auntie Lyn's and took her Taurus. I'll bet Mom wrote the mileage on the Mustang down, so I probably shouldn't take anyone for a ride. I was going to take John out in it today, but decided against it. I opened it up instead and let him take a look at it when he got here.

dvd fun
He came by and we watched The Hulk, as well as finished watching the rest of my Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team series. We had watched the first half a while ago, but hadn't had the chance to finish it up until now. I also showed him my un-put-together models. I have to paint them, yet.

ideas
I was debating on what to do this week, too. I was thinking of stopping by the hobby shop tomorrow and looking for some brushes and maybe getting started on painting those models. I'll be able to spread out and do it over the next two days without worrying over whether or not my parents will get annoyed by how much room I'm taking up with them. I was also thinking of watching the DVDs I have that I haven't watched, yet... like my Ronin Warriors or something. Of course, the DVDs I can always watch on a day I'm not working, but the models need drying time unless I take my hairdryer to them (it has a cool setting so I can blast them with cool air).

Maybe I'll look into doing that over the next few days.

And some cleaning... if I feel up to it.

Before mercury, brandy was used to fill thermometers.

Hm... go from fun alcholic drink to poisonous liquid metal... Yeah! Let's do that!
