Lunch date today with Zoie Palmer (aka Dark Matter's Android). You wouldn't believe how much she ordered. I mean, I could barely keep up! Great to hear she had a crazy-busy 2018 - and is looking ahead to an even crazier and busier 2019! Came across some behind the scenes pics from the Dark Matter…
January 13, 2019: Suji Sunday!
Snow Camo engaged! Snuggling with sis. The look she gives you when you tell her "No more treats!". Is it 9:30 p.m. already? She's a maniac...

January 11, 2019: Comic books, Vietnamese egg coffee, and Suji art!
Today was an extremely big reading day. Still, I did find time to get out for some fresh (incredibly cold) air. Akemi and I grabbed some delicious lunch bao's at Banh Mi Boys - tofu for her and, of course, fried chicken for me - then walked up to College Street and checked out a…
January 10, 2019: Back in my old stomping grounds!
A bittersweet trip back to the site of my previous series, Dark Matter, today as we start early prep on this new show. I have, to the best of my ability, sought to reassemble the same behind-the-scenes team that made DM such a great experience. If all goes as planned, I'll be moving back into…

January Recommended Read: The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker
A mysterious outbreak strikes a college community, its victims falling into a deep, unyielding slumber. The contagion spreads, the town is quarantined, and those still awake scramble for answers - and survival. My first great read of 2019! Beautifully written with a style that embodies an almost dreamlike quality, The Dreamers is part suspense thriller,…

14 Ridiculous Plot Twists That Hurt Syfy Shows – Or Were They?
I came across this interesting Screen Rant article today by Toby Symonds which offers up his take on what he felt were ridiculous plot twists (and a few that weren't) on shows that aired on syfy. Among the culprits was the decision NOT to kill of Ronon Dex in the Atlantis finale and the decision…

On Home Ownership!
Growing up, I always knew I wanted a house. Yes, sir. Nothing would be better than owning your own home with a basement, a backyard, and a kitchen island for setting stuff down on when you get back from doing groceries. I looked forward to having a garage and a front yard and sump pump…
January 3, 2019: Back Home!
We're finally back to the comfy confines of home. As much as I love going away, there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed, drinking your own tea, and forgetting your own keys and having to ask the concierge to buzz you up to your own apartment. Our last full day in Montreal was a…
