Mitch happily posted three comments in my previous blog entry professing that I’m such a geek. Well, I’ll be quite happy to agree… building plastic model kits of aircraft is a hobby of mine, and I’m currently honing my skills in making more realistic miniatures.

I guess I’m not tired with surveys yet, and since I’m also a military technology and scale model enthusiast, this personality test came across as interesting.
I’m not sure if the result’s quite right, however. :p

My usual experience with infants is that persuading them to smile for the camera is very difficult, but CJ loves being taken pictures of. Maybe it comes from having a family that’s made up of bungisngis people…
Here’s more:

All smiles!
