Well damn.  We walked by the new takeout place in our neighborhood, Kevin Shwarma (so-named because our neighbor, Kevin, tipped us of to its existence) only to discover it opens for lunch at 1:00 p.m.  I mean, come on!  What kind of foolery is this?  Why even bother opening for lunch if you're not going…

Alas, no Baron's Book Club Blab Blog today as I've been distracted by writerly things and, thus, haven't had the opportunity to read a single book.  Hopefully, that will change soon-ish, but I'm almost halfway through breaking two scripts that should have my thoughts elsewhere well into early June. I'll be honest with you.  Kind…

Did a little writing today, then switched gears and watched a movie that's been on my radar for years - Goodnight, Mommy, an atmospheric Austrian (psychological) horror film.  It's a slow burn until the movie's last ten minutes at which point things take a very gruesome, very unnerving turn.  I liked it but between this…

Apparently, someone (me?) left the oat milk oat overnight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1QY9Pq4lDw And today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1527640153933635590 I am intrigued. Yozo, Stargate fans! https://twitter.com/bradtravelers/status/1527660580651376643

Okay, horror movies fans... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1527325266782998529 Ringu - I remember watching and being wowed by a genuinely scary horror movie with an original premise.  A true rarity. Scream - The greatest tribute to horror cinema. The Descent - This one was terrifying.  And that ending! Train to Busan - Best Zombie Movie Ever. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1527389409183551504 Death Proof…

Did a little reading today, a little writing, and a little dog-walking.  It looks like winter is finally in the rearview mirror - but, to be fair, the last time we made this assumption it snowed and the temperature dropped.  Still, Akemi is cautiously optimistic that she can finally wash our winter gear and put…

Whew!  That was quite the wine & cheese soiree last night.  We ended up sampling 14 different cheeses, 8 different varieties of cured meats, Akemi's home baked bread, and 5 bottles of wine.  Considering only five of us were drinking, I thought we did pretty well all told. Me plate - round #1. By the…

In preparation for tomorrow night's wine & cheese soiree, Akemi and I spent the day shopping for - you guessed it! - wine and cheese. Apparently white is the way to go, but I couldn't resist rounding out the selection.  To be honest, I'm the further thing from a wine aficionado - but I know…

Spring has sprung! We adopted a cat! Zonked... Suji's morning routine.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rd6C66CA9A&t=85s She's got her eye on you... https://open.spotify.com/track/7hg0IEar5zT2pdIt21THE7?si=bbd5510b62094d4d

Weekdays.  Weekends.  It's al the same to me.  Such is the life of a freelance writer. I sent my agents that feature script last week and am expecting them to read this weekend and get back to me next week with feedback and a possible preliminary game plan.  Their response - and turnaround time -…

Time-lapse of the creative process.  From the initial flourishing of the idea to the inevitable wait for good news via: Neil Bromhall How high can you go? Raw and sliced, I usually tap out at Habanero. Planning a wine and cheese party for Wednesday night.  Picked up a bottle of Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and…
