Well thanks for all the well-wishes. Suji slept through the night, ate breakfast, and seems otherwise unaffected by whatever ailed her yesterday. Of course, I won't commence official celebrations until later tonight once it's obvious she is on the mend. Until then - fingers crossed! Yo, Stitch! Contemplating life. Displaying remarkable tonguemanship. With her unsettled…
November 14, 2020: This might be a long night!
Someone is NOT feeling well today. Suji slept through the night and displayed her usual voracious breakfast appetite, so we assumed she was back to her old self. After her morning walk, she settled down for her customary nap. I was working on my outline when she suddenly sat up on her dog bed and…
November 13, 2020: Suji feeling under the weather!
Someone was NOT feeling well last night and got up to go to the bathroom and 11:30 p.m., 2:20 a.m., and again and 4:30 a.m. And because she can't get off the bed and magically suspend herself over the toilet, I ended up getting up to assist...while Akemi slept through the night, oblivious. Despite the…
November 12, 2020: Things rolling!
Alright. Making some steady progress on the pilot outline for Project F. Slow. But steady! Also making progress on that TimEscape zoom conference. Slow. But steady. Originally scheduled for this past Tuesday, it has been rescheduled to next Tuesday. It's been tricky nailing down a day and time because everyone is super busy, I can…

So how are your holiday plans looking? Mine are still up in the air.…
November 8, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Couch party! Sun hog. Check out the attitude on this one. When she gets out into the carpeted hallway, she just motors... When she gets outside, however, she likes to take her time and sniff things out. Lots of meandering with the occasional "bursts" of progress. A reminder to join us tomorrow for our weekly…
November 7, 2020: Anime Recommendations!
Let's hear 'em! The epic Vinland Saga was our favorite anime of 2019 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRubJuMCUkI This year, our favorite by far was the truly bonkers Dorohedoro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry-jzv18fOY&t=9s An older anime we just discovered this year that we absolutely loved was the surprisingly great Akame ga Kill! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-zD-llFXvQ Right now, I'm presently making my way through…
November 6, 2020: Let’s hit the mailbag!
What do you say? https://soranews24.com/2020/11/07/chocolate-covered-shrimp-snacks-make-a-comeback-in-japan-this-winter/ I am...dubious. This is the type of instagram content I enjoy. This account belongs to a senior couple who post photos of them modeling clothes people don't collect from their cry cleaning shop: https://www.instagram.com/wantshowasyoung/ And their story. Choose your dessert! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbu3Uqa9s1A Check out this fantastic article by Brad Wright: https://www.thecompanion.app/2020/11/06/the-rules-of-stargates-superheroes-death-stars-and-parking-zones-brad-wright/…
November 5, 2020: I’m Creative Neutral!
Well, it's been a pretty unproductive week. Spinning my wheels on that YA sci-fi pilot rewrite and making slow progress on the outline for the Project F pilot. I was primed to start pitching not one but TWO sci-fi projects, but word is a lot of the major buyers are closing up shop until January.…
November 4, 2020: Akemi Wednesday!
I once had a girlfriend who would rage-quit any game she was about to lose, occasionally bursting into furious tears while doing so. Not sure why I thought of her today after all these years. Anyway, on to better relationships... Look at this. Eating dinner straight out of the pot. Shameful. She's two steps away…
November 3, 2020: Social (Media) Etiquette!
I try to maintain an open line of communication with fandom, through this blog and various other social media platforms. It's something I've been doing for years now and I quite enjoy getting to know people. There are occasions, however, when I feel I have to draw the line. Specifically - Do not direct message…
November 2, 2020: We discuss Dark Matter’s spookiest episode! Snow Monkeys! And Stargate stuff!

So, how was everyone's weekend? What did you all get up to? How are your respective fantasy football teams doing? For my Snow…
November 1, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Liking the look of that pizza. "Sit down. I want to talk to you about your recent lack of treat-giving." Pro napper. She sleeps about 16 hours a day. She needs to conserve her energy for barking food requests. Daughter-Mommy time...
