Jacob and Tutu spent a Friday afternoon in March walking around the Museum and pretending to have fun with all the cool stuff here. Not much acting required since we rock.
They were filming a commercial that will be running during the Merrie Monarch Festival starting tonight.
Jake got the full treatment with makeup and all....
Definitely cool to see Jake on tv whacking the air cannon that he helped prototype a couple years ago.
Community is coming BACK! Lily and Jake were heartbroken when it went on hiatus. when I broke it to them and explained what hiatus was it was like announcing a death in the family - "I have some bad news you guys..."
OK. Now start watching the damn show everyone. Then DVR it and set it on auto repeat since the cable company probably tracks that kind of stuff and it'll get back to NBC somehow.
On another tv related note, we have just finished the third season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm so glad that I have kids of the PERFECT age and who ate the show up since I would've felt ridiculous watching it alone.
Amazing art, attention to detail, story arcs, sub plots, and moral dilemmas that you don't usually expect to be aimed at the 8-12 year old set.
Actually applauded and got a bit weepy during the last 4-part tie up the loose ends, climactic battle with bad guy, plus denouement episode.
Mayor of Newark responding to a reporters question about whether marriage equality should be put to a popular vote in the wake of its passage in the state legislature.
And that my friends is how a politician steps up and defends civil rights. Good to see public officials that call it like it is. Well done.
First is an RAF Mosquito that disrupted a daytime Nazi rally as part of a three plane a nuisance raid. A black eye for the Germans but the raid cost the lives of the pilot and bombardier/navigator on this day in 1943.
Next is a F-15C from the 65th Aggressors squadron out of Nellis AFB, Nevada. The squadron is part of the Adversary Tactics Group and the planes are painted in (primarily) Russian camouflage schemes. In this case a SU-27 Flanker. This particular paint scheme is only a few months old. Haven't done an in flight model in a while. Think it turned out nice.
Geek out with all of the other pics at my Model Planes web album.
Jake had a blast at the Lemonds' last weekend skating with his Kailua crew. Jake hadn't used his board since the xmas before last but it seems that the hook is now set. So after a quick trip to the skate shop, Jake's got new wheels, bearings, bushings, risers, and a Spitfire (non-RAF) helmet.
Uncle Dave even turned me on to a new (to me) style of board. The Carver. The closest thing to surfing out of the water I've ever done. Amazingly good fun.
For those of you who live in Leipzig and don't see waves, one word. Dude.
Jake was the only one in the family who didn't wind up on the ground in pain (it'll come though).
