Today, I joined David Reed for the 120th episode of his Dial the Gate series. We talked Stargate: Atlantis season 5 - bringing Bob Picardo on board, Jason losing the dreadlocks, plans for season 6, the Atlantis movie that never was, and much, much more. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM-nHmONNss Yesterday, Akemi and I visited St.…
I am not a patient individual, so it's somewhat ironic that I've chosen this line of work where the lion's share of your time is spent waiting for shit to happen. Waiting to hear back from your agent. Waiting to hear back from your lawyer. Waiting to hear back from the production company. Waiting to…
Heartbroken to learn of the passing of Mike Banas who was such an integral part of the Stargate franchise, its successes, and its lasting impression on sci-fi television. Mike was an editor, and the very best at what he did, displaying his unparalleled skills on such seminal episodes as Vegas, Time, Malice, and the SGU…

Granadilla cap. Ready to chow down! She loves her pillow. Post-unboxing disaster zone. Thanks, Tanja!
When Dark Matter first went into production, my writing partner and I were each gifted a bottle of fine scotch c/o our old friend Martin Gero. I elected to share mine with the production team, unwittingly kicking off a tradition that would see us assemble at lunch every day outside my office for a shot.…
Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1494680857134743557 Which took me back to that time I visited Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken for their Nashville Ice (fried chicken and vanilla ice cream). Today, for lunch, I looked to make some major progress on the 500 grams of Japanese trout roe Akemi ordered for me. Surprisingly, I was only able to make…
My sister sent me the following photos from back in the day... Yo, where's the flood? I also suspect this was just some random car we were posing against as I distinctly recall my father's tank-like maroon Ford LTD. For some inexplicable reason, my mother liked to keep my hair long when I was a…

Last night, Akemi and I celebrated Valentine's Day with a romantic Italian meal at Giulietta on College Street - with our foodie friend Dr. Blackjack! The last time we'd visited was a little over two years ago - just prior to the pandemic. Hopefully, it won't be another two years before we make a return…
A few more new and upcoming books for your consideration... Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett's death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a traditional Caribbean black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor…
A certain pug went on a poop strike this past week to protest my trip to Montreal. Despite Akemi's attempts to coax her, Suji stuck to her, uh, guns until my return on Thursday. After that, the embargo was lifted and she more than made up for lost time. As I mentioned in last week's…
