Today Jon had a short day at school as he had a dentist appointment.
As we are the family who podcasts together, well, we thought this would be enticing audio for all of you people.
You even get to here a bit of Jon and the dental hygienist!
Jon picked the song between the two vignettes, Beautiful Day by U2. The apple does not fall from the tree as they say.....
Then we got back into the car and headed home.
Jon went to see a movie over the weekend, 22 Jump Street. Indeed, when we finished recording this episode on the way to school one of the kids at Jon's school said 'I saw you at the movies yesterday'. This should tell you that the movie is big with the key 13 year old demographic. (The girl who saw it said she liked it too).
So of course, Jon gave his standard review and rated it out of five. You'll have to listen in to find out his rating, but if any of his previous ratings can be used as a guide, you probably know what he gave it.
Wow, what a difference a week makes.
Today Jon and I talked about how the weather is improving and how he makes his videos.
In this instalment we talked about how I hurt my back and how Jon is making videos. Wait, here's one now!
Oh you might like to hear the episode......
Jon was not too talkative during this one. Probably because he was really sick for a couple of days. That said, we soldiered on and recorded.
It has been pretty rainy lately, and we had to cut this one short because I did not want to get rain on my phone, but it was a good one nonetheless.
Over the weekend Jon, Isabelle and I saw the Amazing Spiderman 2. Jon really liked it a lot. Indeed, after we came out of the theatre he said 'Well, that was exciting'. Isabelle was less impressed with the movie......
I would give it 2.5/5 meaning it just passed. Listen in to hear what Jon gave it.
We also ran into Maddie who was waiting for the bus on her way to work, so we briefly spoke to her.
In this walktoschoolcast I try to explain spatial memory in food storing birds to the boy......
This one was recorded on the way to school and we talked about the standard stuff. It was pretty windy, so I hope the sound is ok.
No school Monday, so no walk to school cast, but Jon did see a movie today which he really liked, Transcendence.
We recorded this one Friday, and, frankly, Jon and I cannot remember what we talked about. I will guess, movie ideas, MLP etc.
While I was away at a conference, Jon went to see Divergent, find his review herein.....
In this walktoschoolcast we discussed how Jon just turned 13! Pretty exciting stuff. Jon started soccer this week, which he enjoyed, as well he got a bunch of movies on Blu Ray for his birthday.
Of course, he also went to the movies and saw Need For Speed. Listen in to find out what he gave it out of five.
Well it is the March Break, so Jon is home for the week. The consequence is that this one was recorded while I was waiting for my sausages to cook....
Anyway, Jon reviews Non Stop in this one. You know, Taken on a plane...
Over the weekend I was away in London, but Jon was busy seeing movies, well a movie, for his audience, that is what your high end podcasters do. (We have to get this kid to give a pod camp session some day about engaging your audience with My Little Pony stores and movie reviews).
Anyway, he liked it. Listen in and find out how much. Special shout outs on this episode to Landon, Logan and Aidan and to a guy who loves where RoboCop takes place, Bobby Russon.
So Jon went to see 'Winter's Tale' this weekend. Critics have panned it, not Jon, but to find out what he gave it, you have to listen in.
Jon saw the Lego Movie this weekend, along with four previews. He liked the movie quite a bit, listen it to find out his rating.
Jon in the waiting room at the dentist's office
On our way to the dentist Jon explains his interest in Confucius.
He, of course, also talked about movie ideas and MLP. All in all a good morning, as his dental appointment went well.
As many of you know, Jon did his oral on podcasting. This morning (you can tell it is the morning, his voice is all rough and he keeps yawning...) we recorded him doing his oral if you want to hear it.
So we just got back from Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit (actually we are still
In the car, and I am posting this with my phone...) and we recorded as soon as we came out.
Jon loved it, giving it a 5 out of 5. I liked it a lot going with a 4 out of 5.
Jon also has an MLP idea with Liam Neeson, I will leave that where it is.....
