October 26, 2021: Annual Check-Up Day!
I slept fitfully last night (as is the custom whenever I have to wake up for an early appointment the following morning), waking up at 4:00 a.m. and then trying to fall back asleep for another two hours before giving up and getting up. Today, of course, was the day of our annual check-ups and…
October 25, 2021: Tomorrow, I’ll be poked, prodded, tested, and have my diet critiqued by a nutritionist.
This morning, I completed what I'm calling the "One Step Removed From the Polish" draft of my sci-fi/kpop mash-up for that big production company - streamlining, gamifying, adding a few more fun visuals and characters beats, and front loading a few of the surprise reveals into the pilot. One in particular will have viewers catching…
October 23, 2021: The Saturday Brief!
I'm thinking of getting back into the matinee swing of things. There's nothing I like more than taking in a midday movie in an almost empty theater. Hard to believe it's been over two years since the last time. I want to go back but... is there anything worth seeing? Do tell. Today's Yes/No.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1451908598699864064…
October 22, 2021: Hitting the Gym!
Came across this article today.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1451607448897327105 Which is somehow appropriate given that I had occasion to use the peloton on my recent gym visit because all of the two working treadmills were occupied. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it's the fucking worst. Simply getting on and pedaling is not an option. You…
October 21, 2021: Science and Sour Patch Kids!
Pick your poison! On the left is some of Akemi's homemade limoncello (recipe here) which was a two month process and certainly worth it. I say that, of course, because I didn't peel any lemon skins, soak them in alcool for 45 days making sure to give them a daily shake, strain the liquid, mix…

October 16, 2021: Birthday Blog!
I'd like to thank everyone who posted birthday wishes here and on twitter. Greatly appreciated. So, what did I do to celebrate? You mean besides researching propane stocks and unhedged natural gas producers? Well, I woke up early this morning at just a few minutes before 6:00 a.m. "Why were you up so early?"you may…

October 14, 2021: Power Issues!
Woke up this morning to discover my laptop wouldn't charge despite repeated efforts to power it. I was concerned it was an issue with the fairly new MacBook Pro I purchased in February but, after some back and forth with Apple chat support, the culprit would appear to be the fairly new power cord that…

October 12, 2021: Projects Update!
With the first draft of Promise of Blood under my belt, I switch gears to another project - a detailed pitch for a fun genre series. Contacted the production company this morning and told them I'd be sending the document their way by week's end after which we can hop on a zoom and discuss.…
