It's been a whirlwind couple of days here in Montreal.  Yesterday, I took my mother to the hospital to have her cast removed cast removed and fitted for a wrist brace.  Today, I accompanied her to get her pants hemmed.  Tomorrow, we'll be going to pick up said pants.  Crazy, no? Yesterday's lunch was (my…

Going a little stir crazy here in Montreal.  But, at least, I'm getting stuff done.  I've read four books and two graphic novels, written twenty-five pages of the new TimEscape script, and just had a call regarding that horror script.  They asked me if I wanted to direct and, while interesting, it's not something I've…

I've lost all sense of time here in Montreal.  I completely missed Suji Sunday.  So here is Suji Monday! How could I forget this face? Pretty in pink. What I've been missing... https://youtu.be/5vVotZAd2s4 What Akemi refers to as "the crispy tongue"!

Last night, I attended a dinner party hosted by my old high school buddy, Lawrence, and his wife, Mel.  We were enjoying a nice take-out meal from a nearby restaurant.  Halfway through supper, Lawrence, seated beside me, suddenly pulled something out of his mouth and uttered a shocked: "What is THIS?!".  A hush fell over…

My recent internet searches have included: "perfect murder", "fake your own death", and "how to get rid of a dead body".  This morning, it was: "nuclear fusion", "heavy water", and "missile guidance systems".  I wonder if whoever monitors online activity bothers to cross-reference search topics with a surfer's profession.  It's research for this new script.…

My sister's dogs are bed hogs.  Kona likes to sprawl out in the middle of the mattress while Ralphie is given to pacing around at night and burrowing under the covers.  They must have awakened a good half dozen times between 5-7 a.m., anxiously looming over me in expectation of an early breakfast.  Every time…

Well, Day #1 of my dogsitting stay in Montreal is almost complete.  And I am completely exhausted. I caught the second to last flight out of Toronto last night, got in a little after 9:00 p.m., woke up at 4:30 a.m. this morning to drive my sister to the airport, read for several hours, then…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1226954624650956805 I love spicy.  Always have.  The heat, obviously, but also the flavors of the varied peppers simmering beneath that deep fire kick.  The bottom shelf of my refrigerator is occupied by my hot sauce collection (much to Akemi's chagrin) with names like Brain Damage, Memento Muerte, and Howler Monkey.  Although I have a high…

Come on!  Let's get moving! That expectant look. The bath time routine... https://youtu.be/ffjx_AWtvkU Yech! Daughter-Daddy time.

Majority of serial killers are Taurus, study claims I am not in the least surprised. "Is your friend a Taurus? Does he or she obsess over murder and watch way too much “CSI”? There’s a good reason to be wary now." And yet it's always the same.  Whenever police catch a serial killer, the neighbors…

Scientists are searching for a mirror universe.  It could be sitting right in front of you. What's this?  On the heels of our discussion about seeking out a new timeline comes this article from NBC News on the search for a mirror universe!  Coincidence?  Maaaaybe.  OR - maybe not!  Is this a sign?  Some echo…

Took a HUGE schnitz today at Country Style Hungarian Restaurant.  As did my friend Robbie.  Akemi opted for the cabbage roll.  It has been a while.  In fact, now that I think on it, I believe the last time I had schnitzel was at The Black Forest Inn in Hamilton during Dark Matter's third season.  It…
