Success!  I have almost completed my outline for Project F.  And, as is the custom after completing a first draft, I hate it.  Once done, I'll let it sit for a few days, re-read and rewrite, and eventually grow to merely dislike it.  Then, with further reviews and tweaks, I'll progress from ambivalence to grudging…

Hey, Dark Matter fans, join us later today (5:30 ET, 2:30 PST) for a discussion of Dark Matter Episode 8 with the gang at Orville Nation.  Today, we'll be joined by special guest and author extraordinaire Alan Dean Foster. https://twitter.com/sgcgate/status/1330887847759532035 And in the event you missed it Stargate fans, here is my chat with Dial…

Let's kick things off with a little Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1330159034712924165 To be honest, the gin is the most objectionable component. Currently in rotation at my place... And you? Amazing people with whom I have worked... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1326162208154382336 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1326886891032096768 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1327278040930463744 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1328326419110359046 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1329095107291787265  

Came across this fabulous video of me saNompling vegan desserts... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYRHOgmM-5Q There are a couple of times where I actually shudder. Honestly, there's not excuse for shitty desserts - even if you are vegan. Bit day tomorrow, #Stargate fans.  Tomorrow, at 3 pm. ET (Noon PT), the Brad Knight Rises!  Stargate/Travelers co-creator, showrunner, executive producer,…

Well, got back the results of my annual physical today.  Everything looks good (Even, surprisingly, my blood sugar!), but my cholesterol is  little high.  Comparing my ratio of Total Cholesterol to HDL over the past three years... Clearly, I was doing something right last year.  But what was it?  I mean, I'm actually working out…

For some reason, this blog has taken to auto-deleting portions of my entries so that I end up posting only a portion of what I actually write.  It happened yesterday and I ended up having to go back to my early drafts to retrieve and rectify.  Hopefully, I won't have to do that again today.…

A reminder that I'll be joining the gang at Orville Nation to talk about Dark Matter Episode 7 (the one with Wendy the robot!) tonight!  Come join us! https://twitter.com/nation_orville/status/1328117281814097921 Came across this article yesterday.... Beware the dark triad: 15 signs you may be working with a psychopath I have worked with a lot of awful…

Someone is NOT feeling well today. Suji slept through the night and displayed her usual voracious breakfast appetite, so we assumed she was back to her old self.  After her morning walk, she settled down for her customary nap.  I was working on my outline when she suddenly sat up on her dog bed and…

Someone was NOT feeling well last night and got up to go to the bathroom and 11:30 p.m., 2:20 a.m., and again and 4:30 a.m.  And because she can't get off the bed and magically suspend herself over the toilet, I ended up getting up to assist...while Akemi slept through the night, oblivious.  Despite the…

Alright.  Making some steady progress on the pilot outline for Project F.  Slow.  But steady!  Also making progress on that TimEscape zoom conference.  Slow.  But steady.  Originally scheduled for this past Tuesday, it has been rescheduled to next Tuesday.  It's been tricky nailing down a day and time because everyone is super busy, I can…

In case you missed it - I discuss Dark Matter Episode 6 with the gang at Orville Nation... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l4VYaG7xEw Guys, this is important! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1326138882770038786 And...I may have overdone it at lunch.  And now I have to do an interview. Hmmmm.  It would seem this outline is NOT writing itself.  I may have to turn to…

Hey, Dark Matter fans, join us in a little over an hour for a discussion of Dark Matter season 1, episode 6! https://twitter.com/TeamRazaEurope/status/1325754330067165185   So, what do you think? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1325814612277796867 Not a fan of burritos, but I'd definitely try this one. So how are your holiday plans looking?  Mine are still up in the air.…

Couch party! Sun hog. Check out the attitude on this one. When she gets out into the carpeted hallway, she just motors... When she gets outside, however, she likes to take her time and sniff things out.  Lots of meandering with the occasional "bursts" of progress. A reminder to join us tomorrow for our weekly…

What do you say? https://soranews24.com/2020/11/07/chocolate-covered-shrimp-snacks-make-a-comeback-in-japan-this-winter/ I am...dubious. This is the type of instagram content I enjoy.  This account belongs to a senior couple who post photos of them modeling clothes people don't collect from their cry cleaning shop: https://www.instagram.com/wantshowasyoung/ And their story. Choose your dessert! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbu3Uqa9s1A Check out this fantastic article by Brad Wright: https://www.thecompanion.app/2020/11/06/the-rules-of-stargates-superheroes-death-stars-and-parking-zones-brad-wright/…

Well, it's been a pretty unproductive week.  Spinning my wheels on that YA sci-fi pilot rewrite and making slow progress on the outline for the Project F pilot.  I was primed to start pitching not one but TWO sci-fi projects, but word is a lot of the major buyers are closing up shop until January.…
