Hey, check it out! Look at what was in my Happy Panda bento box the other day: oatmeal Teal'c! Rolling along on production and prep. Shooting at the airport today and apparently the footage looks amazing. Meanwhile, meetings for me... Akemi and I were just about to head out to dinner tonight when I got…
July 18, 2011: My Akemi pictorial!
Another exhausting day. Got in at 8:00 this morning, made some more tweaks to episode 102, attended the costume meeting for the episode, then headed off to lovely Hamilton for a location scout, got back late this afternoon, worked on the rewrites of episodes 104 and 105, attended a way-too-long props meeting, rushed to pick…
July 8, 2011: Questioning my manliness! Trevor does it again! Hurray for weekends!
So I was walking into the office the other day when someone made a comment about the the bag I was carrying, intimating it was somehow effeminate to be strolling around toting this - Essentially, questioning my masculinity. Well, I was able to set them straight by pointing out the only reason I carry the…
July 7, 2011: Sooooothing doggy pics!
Oof! What a day. Let's leave it at that and, instead, concentrate on soothing doggy pics. Soooooothing...
July 6, 2011: Gusto, Gorgonzola, and Ghosts!
Having wrapped work on the Saving Hope pilot, Michael Shanks (Stargate's Daniel Jackson) is westcoast-bound were he'll begin work on The Pastor's Wife opposite Rose McGowan. But before jetting off, I managed to corral him for a mini Stargate reunion of sorts last night. We gathered at La Forchetta in Little Italy where we enjoyed a…
July 5, 2011: Sad Rabbit
It was the subtlest of changes, a transition so slight as to be almost imperceptible. If not for the fact that we've been together for over a year, I might not have even noticed. At first, I wasn't sure but, as I began to suspect, and pay closer attention, it became obvious that something was…
July 3, 2011: So much for the long weekend!
Pictured above: the chocolate souffle at MBCo in Yorkvile. It's just one of the many things I'll miss about Toronto when I move back to Vancouver in December along with Scarpetta restaurant and, uh, the chocolate souffle at MBCo. A somewhat relaxing long weekend. I kicked back by making some major progress on the fourth…
July 1, 2011: Soma Chocolate!
I celebrated Canada Day by driving around town discovering everything was closed for Canada Day. After not shopping for fresh produce and canned pumpkin puree for the dogs (It helps keep 'em regular!), we didn't enjoy a nice lunch and follow up by checking out a nice macaron place. Instead, we had a craptacular meal,…
June 30, 2011: Vote for one of the finalists in our Name Trevor’s Baby Contest! And other stuff!
Our Executive Producers' Assistant, Trevor, is really looking forward to the birth of his first child AND the name you, my dear blog reader, will bestow upon said kidling. Look at him (pictured above), excited beyond belief at the prospect that we'll be doing all the heavy lifting, generating options, considering, and, ultimately, deciding the…
June 28, 2011: Picking up speed on prep…
Akemi's latest bento breakfast gives me the strength to field the day's explosive issue. I borrow Bobby C.'s shades to keep the shrapnel out of my eyes. Alexander gives me the "Yes, it CAN get any worse" look. Steve demonstrates patience and perseverance, coming in to the conference and settling in, fully prepared to work…
June 26, 2011: Yet another entry.

June 23, 2011: Transporter: The Series! Dark Matter! Stargate SG:1 Season 9!
Busy-busy on Transporter: The Series. Notes on episode 2 (Carl's) and episode 7 (Alexander's) have slowly started trickling in. Once I've received input from all 4+ players, I'll jump on the rewrites - just as soon as I've finished the rewrite on episode 6 (mine). Paul continues his pass on episodes 3 (his) and 4…
June 22, 2011: Gifts (finally)! Transporter: The Series production update! Bully Brie! Maximus – creature of habit!
Just the other day, I was telling Angela (aka Mega) from across the hall that I felt I wasn't receiving proper acknowledgement for all of my hard work of late. I mean, sure, I get paid and I work with very nice people who tell me how much they enjoy my scripts, but when's the…
June 20, 2011: Dog Day Afternoon!
You know who enjoys sunshine? The dogs! And so, when the weekend rolled around, I was all ready to hop in the car and head downtown for the afternoon when I started getting "the look". You know what I'm talking about. The "What? You're just going to leave us? Okay, okay. Go. Have fun. We'll…
June 10, 2011: Assuming bento duties! Dog pics!
Akemi took the day off so I was left to craft my own inspired oatmeal/fruit/peanut butter masterpiece. Pretty impressive, huh? Akemi took one look at it and made me promise I wouldn't try to pass it off as one of her bento creations. Personally, I think she was just jealous. Long overdue gratuitous dog pics...…
