So many great memories from this season. I've included some insights from Trip Down Memory Lane series to accompany each episode's concept art.... Small Victories... I remember sitting in Brad’s office when we first came to Vancouver and having Brad ask Robert how he planned to conclude the season three finale, Nemesis. Well, Rob knew…

January 12, 2023: For your consideration…More horror movies!
The Killing Tree (2022) On Christmas Eve, a widow casts a spell to resurrect her executed husband. However, when the spell goes wrong, the husband is brought back as an Evil Christmas Tree hell-bent on revenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ltLspKvGqA My thoughts: It's like Dr. Who meets Little Shop of Horrors that at times feels like it's been…

January 10, 2023: Meanwhile, on the home front…
Our friend, Dr. Blackjack, returned from Japan bearing gifts! For me, it was three boxes of Sasha, Japanese convenience store chocolate that is far from bean-to-bar but is possessed of the most incredible texture thanks to its delicate lattice weave design. Reminds me of these chocolates I saw years ago (also out of Japan). I…

January 6, 2022: What? You thought it was over? NO! The Horror Marathon continues with 5 more bullet reviews!
Jaula/The Chalk Line (2022) A couple temporarily adopts a young girl that they found wandering around alone in the high road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1F2u_T1GN0 My thoughts: More thriller than horror; more exasperating than thrilling. The big reveal hinges on an implausible coincidence. 2.5/5 Nocebo (2022) A fashion designer is suffering from a mysterious illness that puzzles her…

January 4, 2022: Amazing Covers! And endoscopy!
I woke up at 8:45 a.m. with a start, horrified that I had overslept and missed by 8:15 a.m. endoscopy appointment. Only to realize I was in the clinic, waking up from the sedation. After a short wait, the doctor came by and informed me I had GERD after all, giving me a new prescription…
January 3, 2022: So what’s it gonna be?
I go in for my endoscopy tomorrow. Wake up at 6:45 a.m., catch a 7:20 a.m. uber, arrive at the clinic for 8:00 a.m., then head in for the procedure at 8:15 a.m. Approximately 90 minutes later I should be good(ish) to go. But no alcohol, no greasy or spicy foods, and no piloting any…
January 2, 2022: New Year’s Dinner! That stomach scan! Comics, cured egg yolks, and oversized fonts!
The New Year's Day lunch... Soba two-ways: with simple dash ad with bottarga. Australian wagyu and crispy Brussels sprouts. So, while it may seem as though I'm back to full strength, the truth is I'm still experiencing that slight, underlying nausea that is presumably being kept at bay by the meds I was prescribed before…
