Batchin' it...

The wife and the monkeys will be flying off to spend time with her fam in about a week. So I'm looking at about five days when I will have the house to myself. I've already scheduled some deep, dirty honey-do projects (the kind which are best performed when there are no little fingers or feet to get squished--or little ears to hear the dirty words produced), but I think I will still have lots of goofing-off time left over. I'm thinking of doing some or all of the following:

• Watching all six Star Wars films back-to-back (to back, to back, to back...etc.) at full volume on the old home theater.
• Leaving the house to catch a flick by myself (thinking about Casino Royale).
• Trying to make some serious headway on MP2, Geist, Z:OOT, and other similar "scary" adult Gamecube games I rarely get to play. (Noticing a trend here?)
• Trying to see how long I can exist on nothing more than coffee--to get me in shape for piles and piles of turkey.
• Curing polio.
• Running for public office (no actual running involved, I checked it out).
• Seeing how long I can go without changing clothes before someone notices and makes a comment.
• Strip solitaire. Or strip minesweeper.

I am deeply open to suggestions on more original (or just less pathetic) ideas. Talk to me people.
