February 27, 2023: Pugs, projects, and pistachio pastry!

We're considering adopting. Of course it should go without saying - no, not a human.  I mean, we all saw the movie The Orphan and know how that ends up.  We're considering adding another pug to the household - a rescue.  We figure it would liven Suji up and maybe motivate her to get out…

February 25, 2023: More Stargate SG-1 Season 6 concept art and episodic insights!

The Other Guys This was the script that earned Damian Kindler a spot on the writing staff and it was one of my favorites.  The episode was tons of fun and ur guest stars, John Billingsley and Patrick McKenna, were terrific. One memory I have connected to this episode doesn’t have anything to do with…

February 24, 2023: The Horror Marathon continues with five more horror film bullet reviews!

Hellhole (2022) In 1987 Poland, a police officer investigating mysterious disappearances infiltrates a remote monastery and discovers a dark truth about its clergy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIXbVWl3fZM My thoughts: Bleak and atmospheric. The plot twists won't surprise diehard horror fans, but the ending is a devilish delight. 3.5/5 The Offering (2022) A family struggling with loss find themselves…

February 21, 2023: Out and About!

Finally dropped off a few of these babies off for digital transfer today.  Starting off with two episodes - Window of Opportunity and Wormhole X-treme.  In approximately two weeks from now, I should have copies of all the footage we shot for both episodes.  Really curious to see what long-forgotten treasures these tapes hold. We…

February 20, 2023: Stargate SG-1 season 6 concept art and episode insights!

Redemption Part 1 Appropriately enough, Dr. Rodney McKay makes a return visit to the SGC and takes another giant step toward redemption – a process that would be completed by the time he assumed a lead position in the Atlantis expedition.  This episode was also notable for the introduction of the Jaffa Shaq’rel, an otherwise…

February 17, 2023: The Horror Marathon continues with five more bullet movie reviews!

Possessor (2020) An agent works for a secretive organization that uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies - ultimately driving them to commit assassinations for high-paying clients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyRkoL45JGk My thoughts: A nifty techno-thriller that goes to some pretty dark places in its exploration of morality, identity, and the psychological ties that bind. 4/5 Der…

February 16, 2023: Unusual Deaths – Mushroom Edition!

I love wild mushrooms and remember going mushroom-picking with my father.  He would find these Shaggy Manes and pan fry them with garlic and butter.  Delicious.  I've never had them since because I hear they look similar to a poisonous variety and am not confident enough to tell the difference.  Today, I do most of…

February 14, 2023: My Valentine’s Day Day!

I have no interest in celebrating Valentine's Day.  My wife, on the other hand, absolutely adores celebrating Valentine's Day.  And so today, we celebrated Valentine's Day. An early start to the day for Akemi and Suji. Cafe, hot chocolate and pistachio croissant at Beatrice Society Cafe which opens at 8:00 a.m. and is dog-friendly until…
