A late blog entry today as I’ve been on the phone all day talking to everyone dealing with everything. And, ultimately, settling nothing. However, I did take a break to allow my phone to recharge - and check my yahoo accounts. I came across an email to Baron Destructo from poor Lady Jenny Peters who…

Well, with the holidays upon us and everyone going their separate ways - Hawaii, San Francisco, Vegas or, in my case, nowhere- Fondy and I got together with Marty G. and his gal Stephanie for a little pre-Christmas dinner at - where else? - our favorite Vancouver restaurant: Fuel. Apparently, whenever Martin or I make…

Love is in the air! My BaronDestructo account received an email from a Princess Rose (no kidding) promising me romance, devotion, and, oh yeah, 5 million dollars if I could help facilitate a little transaction. “I LIKE ANY PERSON WHO CAN BE CARING, LOVING AND HOME ORIENTED,”writes Princess Rose in all capitals to no doubt…

Okay, so what did everyone think of this month’s Book of the Month Club selections: Stephen King’s The Gunslinger (book one of the Dark Tower series) and Frank Herbert’s The White Plague? What’s that? You want me to go first? Alright. Let’s start with -The GunslingerLet me preface my thoughts on this book by saying…

My visiting two year old niece is afraid of me. You can see it in her eyes when she comes bounding down the stairs and then spots me and freezes. Those eyes say: “Holy Shit! It’s that crazy guy who talks to dogs!”. I suppose in a way I can be kind of scary. I…

The t-shirt says “DEATH BIRD” on the front and “FALL FROM SKY” on the back. You’ll be excused for assuming it’s a reference to some lame heavy metal band (“Hey, Death Bird kicks off its Fall From Sky tour this weekend! Awesome!!”). In fact, there’s a story behind the Death Bird t-shirt.Way back in Atlantis’s…

I arrived home today to the sight pictured above (Pic #1). My first reaction was “We’ve been robbed!” My second reaction was “Why would the burglars root through the garbage?” Why? Because burglars didn’t root through the damn garbage! The pugs did! While Lulu was at daycare and I was at work, someone (I won’t…

It’s something I’ve been wrestling with for a while and, well, this morning, I finally decided to accept it. No, better. I’ve chosen to embrace it. I’ve always been respectful toward those with alternate opinions or values, and yet I’d always considered people who espoused this particular conviction - well, a little wacky. That was…

Happy Anniversary to me! As someone has already pointed out, today marks the one year anniversary of this blog. Way back in November 21, 2006 when I composed my very first entry, I wrote:“Unlike the last blog which focused on the show and its various behind-the-scenes happenings, this one will adopt a more scattershot approach,…

It may surprise some of you to know - given everything written about me on other forums and, more importantly, given everything I’ve written about myself in this blog - that I am generally considered a nice guy. Despite my occasionally acerbic nature, I do consider myself a “people person” provided the “people” in question…

Very late blog today as I was dealing with Stargate matters. So short and sweet tonight as I give you the bullet points -* Martin Gero has agreed to do a post-Be All My Sins Remember’d Q&A on this blog.* I think I may be allergic to pineapple.* Less than 45 000 blog visits to…

12:15 p.m.: I get “The Call”! But I miss it because I’m in the backyard scooping dog crap.12:23 p.m.: I realize I’ve missed “The Call” and try Marty G., catching him enroute. I inform him that me and my Q7 are ready for Operation Magenta (a.k.a. Let’s go to Best Buy and get your brother…

“Hey!”said the guy behind the counter, glancing over my shoulder. “Is that your dog?” My dog?! For a split second, I was panic-stricken. My mind flashed back to a recurring dream in which I board a bus on my way to school, unzip my sports bag, and have Jelly, Maximus or Bubba (who I’ve inadvertently…

On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that tests on yoga-wear maker’s Lululemon VitaSea garment line revealed no traces of seaweed in the clothing. I assumed this was a good thing but apparently not. Today, Lululemon released the results of its own tests that seem to back-up its claim that its product does, in fact,…

Of all of my alternate yahoo accounts, AgentWexler's is the one that gets the least amount of activity, virtually ignored by spammers who, for reasons known only to them, have chosen not to solicit a presumed FBI agent in their scamly endeavors. My Melvinskidnappers account, on the other hand, is seeing the heaviest traffic of…
