Weekend update: shabu shabu/hot pot, LA Auto Show, and Tekkaman just about done…

Thanksgiving was fairly mellow since there weren’t many family friends visiting and it was just a nice and relaxed quiet gathering. Some of the uncooked steaks from Thursday were cut up and thrown into a marinade. We picked up some Kobe Beef, fish cake, tofu, napa cabbage, shrimp, clams, etc etc. A small gathering of friends showed up on Friday for this mix of Shabu Shabu and Korean style hibachi. The dining room was fairly full and we ended up playing musical chairs when people wanted to move from the shabu shabu side to the korean bbq side, and then back again. Beers flowed, an amazing amount of food was consumed, and then it was on to rockband. I hit the LA Auto Show on Saturday, and today was taken to recover from the weekend as well as finish up painting the Tekkaman Blade kit.

Weekend Update: Model build gathering and some really old pictures

Model build gathering was this weekend. It was a smaller group with about 17 or so people total. I also helped my mom clean out some of my old stuff that was packed away at her house about the time I left the Air Force about 8 or so years ago….and found some old pictures…

Viruses are fun…

Last night, I went to grab the day’s O&A show off the mininova torrent site. It’s not there, so I run off to the other site that usually has all the shock jock shows (O&A, Ron & Fez, etc) and I’m not sure if I picked up the bug here, or somewhere else; but the bloody computer sneezed…. *sigh* Time to start up the usual clean up and hack tools. Attempt to run hijackthis or MalwareBytes ; and got nothing…. this is gonna be a fun night.
