You'll be pleased to learn I finally backed up my hard drive today. Better late (approximately 18 months late) than never! While going through some external hard drives on which to place the back-up, I came across a slew of old files. Like these trailers for Stargate: Universe. Never fails to give me chills. One…
October 20, 2019: Suji Sunday!
The kids at Magic Mountain. Somebody does NOT like having their nails done... Lulu practicing lead vocals for her Death Metal band... The "You wouldn't be able to spare a treat, would ya?" look. Attempting to hypnotize me into forgetting we already fed her. Winter is coming! Post-nap haze.
October 19, 2019: Down to my fighting weight!
I used to be a lot heavier. I'd say about 28 lbs heavier back in the day - "the day" being near the end of my first season on Stargate. Between all that delicious catering and all those restaurants, I really packed on the weight. At my heaviest I was a strapping 188 - as…
October 18, 2019: Riding the development merry-go-round!
So, I'm circling the week of November 11th to be back in L.A. for another round of pitches and generals. This time, I'll be going out with one big pitch - and a few briefer targeted pitches including that military sci-fi series, the far future spaceship series, and the high concept horror movie (or possibly…
October 16, 2019: Birthday!
Thanks to all for the birthday well-wishes. It's been quite a day! In no particular order... Fielded a slew of online birthday messages. Worked out. Updated my fantasy football roster. Got birthday swag from Akemi. Had the Red Dragon ramen at Ramen Isshin. Got married. Had dessert at Le TAO. Had the matcha and chocolate…
October 15, 2019: Back home!
I'm back home following a whirlwind 3-day visit to Montreal to visit with mom, sis, and my cousin who was in the hospital for heart surgery. By all accounts, it went well and she's hopefully on the road to a speedy recovery. She'd been complaining of trouble breathing for three weeks now, assuming it was…
October 14, 2019: Sulli
This morning, I woke up to the news that kpop idol Sulli, Choi Jinri, had taken her own life. Although I'm relatively new to the world of kpop, Sulli was instantly notable to me for several reasons. First, as a member of the group f(x). Then for her solo release earlier this, Goblin, a song…
October 12, 2019: Montreal!
A late blog post today as I've been traveling and just settled in for the night. Normally, it's way past my bedtime, but out of concern for your concern for me, dear readers, I am composing this entry before lights out. Following a brunch of duck confit and bone marrow french toast with Akemi, Jeff,…
October 11, 2019: Spooky Friday at the ROM!
Ooooh. Spooky. Just in time for Halloween. The Royal Ontario Museum is hosting a horror-themed exhibition: It's Alive! Classic Horro and Sci-Fi Art from the Kirk Hammett Collection. Akemi's reaction upon glimpsing this classic film poster for The Creature from the Black Lagoon: "He looks like one of the Real Wives of Beverly Hills". Haven't…
October 10, 2019: This and That!
Had dinner with writer-producer Alan McCullough (Stargate, Reign, Private Eyes). It was great catching up - and hard to believe that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of SG-1's premiere. 25 years! It feels just like yesterday that my pugs were running the halls of the Bridge Studios while the gang and I spun…

October 5, 2019: Secrets of Stargate!
Over on twitter, I'm offering tidbits of little known behind-the-scenes trivia under the hashtag #SecretsOfStargate. Well, they're little known only if you haven't been a blog regular for the past 10+ years. But, on the off-chance you're late to the party... We interrupt this blog entry for an EMERGENCY REQUEST! Akemi needs a good cauliflower…
