Speaking of disappointment - tomorrow will be a HUGE day for my Snow Monkeys who are clinging to the last playoff spot…
November 25, 2011: A Stargate Reunion! Plotting Dark Matter’s course! Wading through what seems like every comic out there!
So, last night, I was online, finishing up a little historical research, when I happened across my old Stargate address. Wonder what the old gang is doing?, I wondered. Well, there was only one way to find out. I sent out a bunch of emails before calling it a night. This morning, I woke up…
November 23, 2011: Maximus lookin’ good! My second Dark Matter interview! More Alexander and Sarah!
Maximus had his follow-up yesterday and the vet says he's recovering nicely from the surgery that removed 80% of his melanoma. Look at the handsome fella. He looks ten (dog) years younger! Another Dark Matter interview is up, this one over at PopCultureZoo. In this one, I sit down with Joseph Dilworth Jr. and discuss…
November 21, 2011: A Dark Matter sneak peek! My first Dark Matter interview! The Europeans are coming! The Europeans are coming!

November 20, 2011: Snow Monkeys on life support! Batman and Robin! A supernatural manifestation!
My Snow Monkeys were clobbered this weekend, going down to their third straight loss. They're now a most mediocre 6-5 and sitting in sixth place, barely holding onto the final playoff spot with only two weeks to go in the regular season. Some terrible decisions by our General Manager (benching Romo for Sanchez, White and…
November 18, 2011: Somebody stop me! Riding the comic book wave!
Sigh. Someone I know has decided they can't take care of their dog anymore and wants to find it a good home - which is a nice sentiment but, I think, easier said than done. The fact is, you have no idea what kind of home a dog will end up in. Even with the…

November 16, 2011: Maximus on the mend! Smacaron-Off! Dark Matter!
I'm pleased to report that my boy Maximus is on the road to short-term recovery. I dropped him off at the vet's this morning where he underwent surgery to remove part of the melanoma on the inside of his cheek, something that has clearly made him very uncomfortable lately as he's struggled to eat. According…
November 14, 2011: Recent Purchase! Dark Matter! Dogs!
You'll never guess what I picked up today. Uh, correct on the first guess. How did you...? Oh, right. The photo. Yes, I picked up the complete five volume collection of Bloom County. And, because it wasn't on the shelf, I had to special order a little something else. Well, not so little. It's, in…

October 25, 2011: Mystery of Dark Matter Solved! It’s a Comic Book Series Coming Out In January of 2012!
I received the almost-finished first issue of Dark Matter today and to say that I am pleased would be to understate. I am very, VERY happy.

September 29, 2011: Dark Matter!
I've been surprisingly busy since my return to Vancouver on Tuesday. Not stupid-busy as in months past, but diligently and satisfactorily so. In addition to the various issues that need to be addressed on the home front, there are the various potential and upcoming projects I finally have the time to get around to. On…
September 2, 2011: Dark Matter! Carl’s bento surprise!
I'm holding off on booking my return flight(s) to Vancouver until I get a few things settled here in Toronto. Between tying up these various loose ends, I'll also take the opportunity to catch up with friends coming into town: Anne-Marie from Montreal, my old Stargate co-worker Jennifer Johnson, and - surprise, surprise - blog…
August 30, 2011: Transporter thank you’s!
http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/cinemaxs-transporter-showrunners-exit/ Well, hmmm. Didn't realize we'd be dropping an official press release this quickly. I just assumed, one month from now, I'd start posting pics of Akemi and me back in Vancouver enjoying dinner at Refuel and have you connect the dots. Guess this means I'm going to have to put that blog entry of…
