Recently, I stayed at a friend's place, mainly for the purpose of watching some movies, listening to music, getting drunk, and so on. We got to talking later about our childhood habits and found out we had a shared interest - LEGO!
Soooo he shows me these incredible space cruisers he built as a kid, and next thing I knew, we were sitting on the floor surrounded by more cruisers and even more loose bricks and it's 4:30 AM. What a day that was.

I haven't done that since I was in my teens. I am not sure that my present friends would feel comfortable lying on a carpet in a room with great piles of Lego all over the place. I would have to convince my girls to pick up their toys first. However, when we get the basement finished, the one room will probably be the Lego/library room. Once the work is done, it will be so tempting to get multiples of the boxes of 800 generic pieces, some base plates, and then replay my favorite moments from any of the various japanese man-in-rubber-suit-trashes-scale-model-ofTokyo films (build city, trash city, repeat).
My wife, reading over my shoulder, has confirmed that I am not allowed to buy any more Lego; until, the star destroyer is finished. Fortunately, I am already through the first eighteen pages (each step has to be done twice), and I have three days off, next week.
