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.…
November 8, 2020: Suji Sunday!
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…
November 6, 2020: Let’s hit the mailbag!
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/…
November 5, 2020: I’m Creative Neutral!
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.…
November 4, 2020: Akemi Wednesday!
I once had a girlfriend who would rage-quit any game she was about to lose, occasionally bursting into furious tears while doing so. Not sure why I thought of her today after all these years. Anyway, on to better relationships... Look at this. Eating dinner straight out of the pot. Shameful. She's two steps away…
November 3, 2020: Social (Media) Etiquette!
I try to maintain an open line of communication with fandom, through this blog and various other social media platforms. It's something I've been doing for years now and I quite enjoy getting to know people. There are occasions, however, when I feel I have to draw the line. Specifically - Do not direct message…
November 1, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Liking the look of that pizza. "Sit down. I want to talk to you about your recent lack of treat-giving." Pro napper. She sleeps about 16 hours a day. She needs to conserve her energy for barking food requests. Daughter-Mommy time...
Your International Guide to Zombies!
Given that it is Halloween, I thought today would be a good time to offer up this handy zombie guide in the event of a zombie apocalypse in your area. Of course, the severity of the outbreak and your ability to deal with the undead onslaught will vary from country to country but, for starters,…
October 30, 2020: I have been remiss!
Getting sloppy. I, apparently, missed yesterday's blog post - although, I could have sworn I did post. But Akemi confirms I did not and has informed me that, as a result, I'm going to have to post TWO entries today to catch up. So, I'll just post-date this entry October 30th, 2020 and swing around…
October 29, 2020: Cereal Milk, Rare White Stags, and Wyvern Gaming’s SG-1 Role-Playing Game!
What do you say? Yes/No? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1321881291772645378 Personally, I'm a big YES and believe they should do an entire cereal milk line including such favorites as Lucky Charms, Froot Loops, and, of course, Capn Crunch. So, how are things shaping up for you all heading into the weekend? I'm still working my way through that pilot…
October 28, 2020: If you’re wondering what I want for Christmas…
My 1st A.D. during this pandemic. Guys! I need this! Fried chicken nugget pillows! They come with this awesome ASMR recording to help you drift off to a dreamland filled with crispy goodness... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9ERdVEz58&feature=emb_logo Amazing people with whom I have worked... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1318552503752007680 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1318963884229906432 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1319264165731643392 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1319991274083131398 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1320351823987965954
October 27, 2020: Thanks! Mom ends up on IR! Solitary Man!
Thanks to everyone who took the time to post some kind words on yesterday's blog entry. To be honest, even though it may have sounded like I was down and in need of cheering up, I was simply stating fact. Writing can be immensely rewarding. But most of the time, it's tough - and occasionally…
October 26, 2020: I may need to swing by the idea store!
I've always wondered if there is a shelf life for writing ability. I'm not talking about physical or mental obstacles, but a specific emptying of the creative tank that sees a once prolific and talented writer suddenly, inexplicably, exhausted of ideas. The thought creeps up every so often, usually on days like today when I…
October 24, 2020: My Paul McGillionest post yet!
I came across a slew of pics. Perfect for your burgeoning dream boards!
October 23, 2020: Is it just me…?
I'm beginning to suspect I'm in a distortion bubble where time is rapidly accelerating. I feel like it was just last week that I was saying "Hey, it's summer already!" and, suddenly, here we are on the cusp of winter! And it's not just me. Lately, Akemi has taken to remarking about the increasingly short…
