I’m so proud of my kids!
Will finished 1st grade without joining a gang and Malia finished
Kindergarten without ruining a former friend’s reputation with
vicious, baseless, rumors!
I’d like to also point out that Rory (not pictured) went this whole
school year without burning down the YMCA childcare facilities, of which
I am equally proud.

Oh, I’m sorry. Did I forget to mention my brother from another mother? Heads up, my peoples!
My half-brother, Joseph K Pa’ahana, will blow your mind and whatnot with his illustration mastery, etc.
Representing The Drop Shadows design massive and the great state of Hawaii, my brother Joe…
We share a dad, cheek bone structure and, hopefully, creative abilities! Rani Lu Mundell isn’t just my half-sister, she’s a wife, a mom & a crazy gifted photographer! Check out her work and then hire her to make magic for you!
The La-a-a-and of the Lost!
Kevin Grose and I went on our own routine expedition to check out the film adaptation of the unintentionally comical TV show from Syd & Marty Kroft (1974).
I think it was smart to go the comedy route with Land of the Lost because we remember it funny.
I was babysat by a steady stream of Kroft Superstars programs. My favorite: Bigfoot and Wildboy! I also enjoyed Sigmond and the Sea Monsters, Dr. Shrinker & HR Puffnstuf.
In this movie version, Will Ferrell has his way with the LOTL world. If you like his style (and me likely) you will enjoy his Dr. Rick Marshall. Jorma Taccone, 1/3 of The Lonely Island troupe, played Cha-ka. Jorma played Cha-ka like the original only more expressive and hornier.
Kevin and I laughed much. Sometimes like Jr. High boys. (Click the poster to see the bigger version with our mugs on there.)
OK, so it may not rank in the top 10 Sci-Fi comedies, but Land of the Lost is a funny take on the original. Honestly, if they tried to make a serious adaptation it would have been a tremendous T-Rex turd. Can you imagine Sean Penn trying to have a conversation with Cha-ka? OK, fine. Who would you have cast in the serious remake? Bear Grylls would be a good technical adviser. He just had Will Ferrell on his show. It was great!
I did not hate it! The movie or the Man vs Wild episode.
So proud of my big girl, Malia, for the great job she did playing a
seal in her class play! Other good news: None of the seals were
clubbed for their pelts.
Congrats to my boss, Paul, for 10yrs of service. Here’s Paul with his
10yr breakfast burrito!
