Yatta!  I am finally back in Toronto.  And look who came to meet me at the airport.  None other than Suji.  And Akemi tagged along! As I was leaving Montreal, ending my 9 day shift in La Belle Province, my sister was clocking in from her vacation.  It'll be back to the old grind for…

Day 9 of 10 of this Montreal trip is fast drawing to a close as I prepare to return to my wife, my dog and, of course, my bed. The whole reason I came here was to take care of my mother while my sister was away.  By "take care", I assumed that meant doing…

Enemy (2013) A man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJuaAWrgoUY My thoughts: You'd be hard-pressed to find a more lethargic execution of this premise. Some of the character logic is hard to swallow; equally so the obtuse symbolism. 2.5/5 High Life (2018) A father and his daughter struggle to…

Holy smokes!  What a productive day!  I completed the first draft of Issue #2 of my horror comic (Grand announcement forthcoming), finished a first pass on the overview for that small town supernatural mystery series, also completed a first pass on the Business Plan for my indie horror film, and bought an oilfield service stock…

My mother's internet his slower than the the dial-up at my high school library. Today, I was dispatched on not one but TWO shopping missions.  On the first, I got lost and a trip that should have taken 30 minutes took closer to 2 hours.  The second was a much more manageable 20 minute foray…

I'm in Montreal for the next 9 days or so.  Mom has sciatica so it's my job to make sure she lays off the scissor kicks and focuses on taking it easy. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1655714756383109120 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1655714759432458240 What say you?  Should I be surprised asking Stargate and Dark Matter fans? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1655702891754139654 I continue to expand my supervillain t-shirt…

One of my oldest friends is in town for a few days so we got together in advance of my trip to Montreal (where I will, in all likelihood, see him again).  Nigel is making a stopover in Toronto in advance of a stopover in Montreal and an eventual move to Lisbon, Portugal (not to…
