December 30, 2021: What’s on the reading horizon for January, 2022!
Sis sent me the this pic from back in the day. Truth is, if you'd have taken a photo of me at any point in my life, chances are good I'd have been holding a book. Which makes it downright shameful I won't be posting a Best of Reads for 2021 since I did little…
December 29, 2021: Today is Wednesday!
I went through most of yesterday under the mistaken assumption that it was Wednesday, so my weekly Amazing Covers post was one day early. So today, in atypical Wednesday fashion, I bring you some delicious dishes we enjoyed prior to heading into pre-lockdown mode... A few of the dazzling dishes we enjoyed at 156 Cumberland…
December 28, 2021: Amazing Covers!
A few that caught my eye this week... Detective Comics #1046 - cover art by Dan Mora Icon and Rocket: Season One #6 - cover art by Taurin Clarke Swamp Thing: Green Hell #1 - cover art by Christian Ward The Human Target #3 - cover art by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau Devil's Reign #2 -…

December 26, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Our girl has been slowing down of late. I'm not sure whether it's the cold, her rickety bones, or just old age, but she doesn't move around as easily as she used to. It also could be the extra weight she's put on. Not much, but enough for me to notice. So my New Year's…
December 25, 2021: Merry Christmas!
I got new pillows for Christmas. Akemi suggested I throw out a couple of my old favorites and I strenuously objected. And, just to prove a point, I slept with five pillows last night. Pictured above: a dramatization. Hmmmm.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1474857559882407936 Also hmmm... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1474838187134619654 One of the most delicious things I ate this holiday season was…
December 24, 2021: Tis the (post) season!
Christmas Eve is upon us. And you know what that means, right? Yes! It's time to reflect back on the past few months and take stock of how your fantasy football team has performed. Well, this was the first year I really didn't pay that much attention to fantasy football. Part of it was a…
December 23, 2021: Change of plans! I’m spending Christmas with YOU!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1473135816847286278 I can neither confirm nor deny ny of the accusations being made against me. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1473697085811736584 Of course, I could just stay at the Iimperial Hotel and come visit every now and then. Alas, there will be no Christmas in Montreal this year (like last year). Given the recently announced shutdowns, lockdowns, and general panic,…

Suji and I sample Akemi's latest culinary creation... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdrqPLcqtqM An early Christmas gift. And it's not a pizza... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsl64ck5l9g Yuzu gummy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoCbIxwO8qY
December 20, 2021: The heart results are in! Dun-dun-DUHHH!
The results of my echocardiogram arrived in the mail today. The conclusion: "The study was technically good". Technically? "The left ventricle was normal in size". Okay. So far so good. "The aortic valve was trileaflet and normal with no regurgitation". To the best of my knowledge, this also seems okay. "The mitral valve leaflets were…
December 19, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Seal alert! Not loving the sweater. But loving the new blanket. Egg yolk! https://www.instagram.com/p/CXZ37gGlcPY/
My Top 10 Anime of 2021!
And a few that didn't make the list.... SUPER CROOKS This collaboration between comic book heavy-weight Mark Millar and Japanese animation studio Bones felt inexplicably off. The premise is great with its focus on super-powered villains, but the characters, while colorful, are surprisingly flat. The series is action-driven and often over-the-top ultra-violent yet some episodes…
December 17, 2021: News of Note!
The weekend is finally upon us! What are you all up to? For me, it's a script polish, some stock research, and maybe pick up a couple of covid tests ahead of our trip to Montreal later in the week. Guys! The future is now! https://twitter.com/GoldTelegraph_/status/1471941985896390658 I'd probably need a sun lamp... https://twitter.com/PriapusIQ/status/1471482333345812486 Meanwhile, in…
