Stage 2 of The Suji Experiment was a rousing success. While our frenchie, Lulu, settled in nicely at the dogsitter's (ignoring my goodbyes and disappearing down the hall seconds after dropping her off), Suji was a little more uncertain (attempting to follow Akemi out the door when we turned to leave). But, by all accounts,…

December 14, 2017: Shows I will absolutely, positively, FINALLY, check out in 2018! A Top 10 List!
TWIN PEAKS I loved the first season of this delightfully weird series; the second season less so. Never saw the prequel movie, but I'm all sorts of curious to check out the new, 20 years later, series that has been both revered and reviled...just like the original. VIKINGS This one looks epic. BLACK SAILS Pirates!…

December 12, 2017: Is it spring yet?
Bundle up, kids! It's cold outside. It's I'm-not-going-out-unless-I-absolutely-have-to cold. And it's going to get even colder. I mean, come on! What happened to the promise of global warming? Spring in winter? Summer in autumn? A world safe from runaway icebergs and douchey ski pros. More of this - And less of this - Despite the…

Over the course of the past five days, we broke the pilot, broad stroked the second episode, bulleted the first episode character arcs, fleshed out the backstory of our aliens, overviewed our five season plan, ate a hell of a lot of breakfast pastries and…

December 5, 2017: Project A!
To be perfectly honest, I was looking forward to some time off. Nothing crazy. Maybe a month. Or six. While a lot of my fellow writers start going stir crazy after a few directionless weeks, I have no problem sleeping in, spending time with my girlfriend and the dogs, and reading into the wee hours.…

December 3, 2017: Brush with the supernatural!
We've all experienced them at least once in our lives, those inexplicable, unnerving instances that make us wonder whether dark forces are at play, their subtle and sinister hands manipulating our reality from afar. They leave an impression, an indelible mark at the deepest levels of your subconscious, buried away by overwhelming reason, the steadfast…
December 2, 2017: Our one year anniversary with Suji!
Yep. One year ago today we took in a special needs senior. She came with her own wheelchair. She mostly got around by pulling herself by her front legs, dragging her back legs behind her. She was quiet, gentle, and kept to herself. A lot has changed in twelve months... Suji arrives in Toronto. Arriving home…
