I went through most of yesterday under the mistaken assumption that it was Wednesday, so my weekly Amazing Covers post was one day early. So today, in atypical Wednesday fashion, I bring you some delicious dishes we enjoyed prior to heading into pre-lockdown mode... A few of the dazzling dishes we enjoyed at 156 Cumberland…

December 25, 2021: Merry Christmas!
I got new pillows for Christmas. Akemi suggested I throw out a couple of my old favorites and I strenuously objected. And, just to prove a point, I slept with five pillows last night. Pictured above: a dramatization. Hmmmm.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1474857559882407936 Also hmmm... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1474838187134619654 One of the most delicious things I ate this holiday season was…
December 24, 2021: Tis the (post) season!
Christmas Eve is upon us. And you know what that means, right? Yes! It's time to reflect back on the past few months and take stock of how your fantasy football team has performed. Well, this was the first year I really didn't pay that much attention to fantasy football. Part of it was a…
December 23, 2021: Change of plans! I’m spending Christmas with YOU!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1473135816847286278 I can neither confirm nor deny ny of the accusations being made against me. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1473697085811736584 Of course, I could just stay at the Iimperial Hotel and come visit every now and then. Alas, there will be no Christmas in Montreal this year (like last year). Given the recently announced shutdowns, lockdowns, and general panic,…
December 21, 2021: Meanwhile, on the home front…
Suji and I sample Akemi's latest culinary creation... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdrqPLcqtqM An early Christmas gift. And it's not a pizza... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsl64ck5l9g Yuzu gummy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoCbIxwO8qY
December 20, 2021: The heart results are in! Dun-dun-DUHHH!
The results of my echocardiogram arrived in the mail today. The conclusion: "The study was technically good". Technically? "The left ventricle was normal in size". Okay. So far so good. "The aortic valve was trileaflet and normal with no regurgitation". To the best of my knowledge, this also seems okay. "The mitral valve leaflets were…
December 19, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Seal alert! Not loving the sweater. But loving the new blanket. Egg yolk! https://www.instagram.com/p/CXZ37gGlcPY/
December 17, 2021: News of Note!
The weekend is finally upon us! What are you all up to? For me, it's a script polish, some stock research, and maybe pick up a couple of covid tests ahead of our trip to Montreal later in the week. Guys! The future is now! https://twitter.com/GoldTelegraph_/status/1471941985896390658 I'd probably need a sun lamp... https://twitter.com/PriapusIQ/status/1471482333345812486 Meanwhile, in…
December 16, 2021: No new is good news! Hopefully.
Well, no news is good news - especially when it comes to echocardiograms. It's been over a week since I had mine done and I have received zero news concerning the results. I'm assuming it's "All normal. No need to call and bother him with the results." as opposed to: "Holy shit! Let the poor…
December 15, 2021: Amazing Covers!
A few that caught my eye this week... Miles Morales: Spider-Man #33 - cover art by In-Hyuk Lee Star Wars: The High Republic #12 - cover art by Phil Noto X-Force #26 - cover art by Stephen Segovia Strange Adventures - cover art by Evan "Doc" Shaner, Mitch Gerads Titans #4 - cover art by…
December 14, 2021: The Tuesday Taco Tour!
We will decide on tomorrow's lunch in one of three ways: 1. Akemi will decide based on what we have in the fridge/freezer. 2. Akemi will decide she doesn't feel like cooking so we should go out instead. 3. We'll get a hankering for whatever food item is featured on the youtube foodie video we…
A lazy, generic space show that isn’t able to rise up and shake hands with its own fun premise!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1470519260548145153 Awww, man. This takes me back. This was the first published review of Dark Matter I read and, to be honest, it was more frustrating than disappointing given that much of the criticism hinged on what I felt was a rather myopic interoperation that ignored the show's central conceit. Yes, the characters presented in…
December 11, 2021: Meanwhile on the home front…
Nog testing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcoCHSxzNoA My grueling workout regimen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4HSxd5zbDY&t=1s And today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1469682311843168261
December 10, 2021: Heading into the weekend less wiser but more Kaiju-wary!
Alas, no results from yesterday's echocardiogram today, which means I get to wait until Monday. Still, I'm not worried. My regular diet is made up of a lot of heart-healthy dark chocolate and blood-cleansing bourbon. I limit myself to a fried chicken sandwich and/or smash cheeseburger a week. And most of my big meals are…
