October 5, 2019: Secrets of Stargate!
Over on twitter, I'm offering tidbits of little known behind-the-scenes trivia under the hashtag #SecretsOfStargate. Well, they're little known only if you haven't been a blog regular for the past 10+ years. But, on the off-chance you're late to the party... We interrupt this blog entry for an EMERGENCY REQUEST!

September 30, 2019: L.A. Mission Debrief!
The point of going to L.A. was to pitch some of the projects I've been developing over the past little while. Originally, I'd intended to go out with three pitches, but that was eventually trimmed to two, and finally cut down to one. According to my manager, pitching multiple projects would be detrimental to all…
September 29, 2019: Suji Sunday!
While we were away, Suji and Lulu enjoyed a stay at their B&B - Checking in. Making use of the amenities. Meeting the other guests. Enjoying the great outdoors. Fun in the sun. Final soiree. Home Sweet Home.
September 28, 2019: The Stargate: Atlantis Greatest Episode Tournament semifinals! Who made it and who didn’t!
And following four hard-fought quarterfinal matches, the stage is set for the semifinal match-ups in our Stargate: Atlantis Greatest Episode Tournament! McKay and Mrs. Miller vs Rising Two clear fan favorites face off in second round action. I'm not surprised to see Rising here but, to be honest, am a little surprised to see McKay…
September 27, 2019: Pug Nation of Los Angeles
So, the plan was to (possibly) adopt a dog on this trip to L.A. That WAS the (possible) plan but, alas, it doesn't look like we'll be adding to the pack. Not on this trip anyway. And, to be honest, it is kind of heartbreaking. Given the fact that we already have two special needs…
September 26, 2019: Who says that?!!
"Well,"said the executive at the conclusion of our pitch, flipping shut his notebook, "give me a minute to talk to my people and I'll get back to you." And with that, he got up and left the room. We briefly exchanged looks, me, my producing partner Vanessa, and author Craig Davidson, then somewhat reluctantly rose…
September 25, 2019: Still in L.A. – mostly driving around!
It's never a good sign when your uber driver can't figure out google maps. I honestly think I spent fully half of today inside a car either going somewhere or leaving. Two very good pitch meetings today. Author Craig Davidson (aka Nick Cutter) and I have finally nailed down our delivery - just in…
September 24, 2019: My trip so far in pictures!
Akemi is loving this hotel more than I am, although she's disappointed that, for a dog-friendly hotel, she's hasn't seen one dog. She's a big fun of the rustic motif. I find the neighborhood somewhat lacklustre - outside of a nearby Shake Shack. To this point, this has been a trip told in burgers. Of…
September 23, 2019: L.A. Day #1!
Following an exhausting travel day capped off with dinner I almost slept through, I am finally settled in and rarin' to go. I don't love the location of this new hotel, but I deferred to Akemi on this one because of its dog-friendly promotion. Although, to be fair, I recall seeing dogs at the old…
September 22, 2019: Suji Sunday!
While Akemi and I are enroute to L.A., Suji and Lulu are no doubt enjoying a relaxing getaway with our dog-sitter. Suji in party mode! In the wild. Separated at birth? https://youtu.be/skwDci4xDK0 Alrighty! See you next week! Au revoir! And, uh, where do you think YOU'RE going?
