Big Brekkie

The day before a trip, it’s good to have a proper brekkie before having your body all messed up by time change, jet lag and horrible airplane food.

Youtube is addictive

Here’s a preview of the new Futurama movie that will be cut into four parts for airing on Comedy Central. WAHAHAHA

Every favorite from Futurama is here

And here’s something really cool! It’s a commercial for JR that uses the Music for Freelance remix of Tank! Not sure if this is the way JR meant it to be, with all the cool that Tank! oozes, but it works. JR is cool though.

3, 2, 1, Let’s Jam, I mean let’s go!

Bad Sports Weekend

Hmmm. Let’s see what happened. The All Blacks lost so no semi-finals. SC lost so no BCS. Green Bay lost so no perfect season. And of cors, the 49ers lost.
I think I’m going to lay off sports for a while. Sigh.

Digressing to 10 years old

People travel here for Fleet Week from all over California. The Canadians were well represented as was the US Coast Guard. The US Navy arrived earlier in the week.

The real draw of Fleet Week is the air show. And of course, that makes everyone go “ooooh” and “ahhhhh” while pointing at the sky and digressing to ten year olds.

The stars of the show, the Blue Angels

Of course, a show is not just the main act, but also the openers too.

He was here then he wasn’t. Verrry stealthy

A Raptor made a brief appearance. Not one from the Colonies. Two rounds and then he was gone.

To celebrate USAF Air Power, a P-51D Mustang and an F-16 Viper made an appearance

Before the main event, there’s an appearance by Fat Albert and its all Marine crew.

Nine, ten, a big FAT hen

This monstrosity was flying over my home so I had to get some nice pictures!

This is the ninth production A380 doing a round the world trip for engine certification. I wonder how SQ380 (the first revenue flight of the plane) will be like? Big flight crew, I figure…lots of stewardesses!! YAY!

Various Things online

Here’s a Yum Cha Rap in Chinese. Good to learn what the names of the dishes are!

Rappin’ about yum cha! Wish MY yum cha house looked kinda like this…
Out here in these parts, we have a free bulletin board called craigslist. You can buy and sell things as well as hook up. Because it’s a free service, the flake factor is very high. But it’s free to list so lots of people use it. This also applies to the personals. Check this out and tell me if this is the kick-ass response to the original poster….!
