That's a wrap on our first week of the writers' room for this new sci-fi series and I do love the way thing are coming along. We've completed our world building discussions and characters arcs and can now look forward to four weeks of spinning and breaking. I'm curious to see how quickly things move…
Well, the results of the Which NCAA Division 1-A Conference should I root for this season? poll are in and what a finish! The Big Ten jumped out to an early, seemingly insurmountable lead, but the SEC came roaring back in the late-goings. It was neck and neck with a mere 4 votes separating the winner…
So, yesterday was the day. Draft Day for our League of Accommodations fantasy football league. My Snow Monkeys, last year's champions, are looking to repeat. And, after the final pick was made last night and all was said and done I can can say with utmost confidence... I don't know... THIS is my team…
So let's take a look at my updated project slate: THAT NEAR-FUTURE PLANETARY EXPLORATION SERIESSeries bible and pilot script delivered to the broadcaster. So what's next? Well... And, yes, as much as I'd love to play Hungry Hungry Hippos instead, sadly, we don't have the choice. Here's hoping I'm back in action with David, Erin,…
Feast your eyes! Aint it glorious? The Snow Monkeys are 2017 League of Accommodations fantasy football champions. Final score... In all fairness, it's all thanks to Todd Gurley and the Carolina Panthers D truly stepped up for my Monkeys. Ah, victory tastes as sweet as a double chocolate mocha! So, I'm blazing through my final…
It's not quite a final, but up 65+ points with only one player to play against, we can give my Snow Monkeys the W and stamp their ticket to the big dance. Next week, it's the championship game and my Snow Monkeys have opened as slight 3 point favorites. And with a starting lineup like…
I think we can all agree that, amidst all this talk about Hollywood and television production and the pitching of various projects, we often lose sight of what's truly important: fantasy football. Well, I'm pleased to report that following twelve hard-fought weeks in which I lost my #1 draft pick to season-ending injury, had to…
Quick, get in! Next stop = Slumber Land! Hey, if you're thinking of making our dogs new outfits, Akemi offers up the following doggy measurements. I think she does a fairly good job of capturing Suji's trademark wide-eyed wonder, and Lulu's general furtiveness. Who feels like kaka for dinner? Pardon me? Happened across this sign…
It's all over but the crying (as my dad used to say). Despite a valiant effort, and an impressive win in their last week of regular season play, it looks like my Snow Monkeys will come up one game short in their bid to grab that last playoff spot. There were a lot of missed…
Noooooooo! Nooooooooo! Nooooooooooooo! My Snow Monkeys were trounced in week 12 fantasy football league play, blowing an opportunity to secure a first round bye in the upcoming playoffs. Relegated to third place following this humiliating loss, my team must win next week AND hope This Ones For John loses in order to avoid a potential…
Yeaaaah! The young NFL Fantasy Football season is off to a rollicking start with an atypical week 1 win for my Snow Monkeys. The highlights included stellar performances by WR1 DeAndre Hopkins, RB1 Jeremy Hill, the top-ranked Panthers D, and QB Andrew Luck who may have played below expectations but still managed…
One more day to San Diego Comic Con! I'm packing light so I can come back heavy. If you're in the SDCC neighborhood, come see us: Jodelle Ferland, Melissa O'Neil, Roger Cross, Anthony Lemke, and Executive Producer's Jay Firestone and Vanessa Piazza for autograph signings at the Dark Horse Comics booth (2615) on Thursday at 5…
"If this series not popular, I really can't believe." - Akemi last night after watching the producer's cut of episode #113, our season finale. Her words echo the sentiments of my writing partner who said pretty much the same thing, in less economical fashion, after viewing prod cuts of our first two episodes: "So, having seen…
In many ways, I envy the crew's handler, Tabor, and his ability to get in a good day's work - without ever having to change out of his pyjamas. It's one of the perks of a freelance career, especially one that affords a comfy home office and the convenience of interstellar communications. Happy Easter! Sadly,…
Whenever I visit Granville Island to pick up some matcha from that little tea shop, I always ask the woman who serves me: "What are you reading?". We discuss and I always complete my purchase by recommending a book. On my most recent trip, she had just finished reading (and throughly enjoying) one of my…
