June 4, 2015: Jay’s Phantom Class Marauder! Tara! Dark Matter! And Lulu!
Prodigy Pictures President (and Dark Matter Executive Producer) Jay(mes Bond) Firestone is a man of surprisingly simple tastes. He's a jeans and t-shirt type of guy. He prefers pizza and burgers over haute cuisine. He flies economy. But if there is one thing he likes to spoil himself on, its cars. He claims they're a great investment(!).…
June 3, 2015: Thank you!
Thank you so much for all the touching tributes to my gal, Jelly. I received emails, Facebook messages, tweets, and, as you can see, over 125 comments on yesterday's entry. It feels strange and lonely without her. I'll miss propping her up on my chest so that we could gaze longingly into each other's eyes,…
June 2, 1015: Jelly’s Last Run
I first set eyes on her in her little enclosure, backing up and charging, stopping just short of the window, then backing up and charging again. She was admittedly adorable. And tiny! So small I could have held her in my hand. But I didn't want a dog. Dogs were, after all, a huge responsibility…
June 1, 2015: Out and around the home front!
A crazy day today, dealing with Jelly and Dark Matter-related issues as well as getting ready for the big trip back to Vancouver. I couldn't believe it! I was eating dinner at Rodney's Oyster House, glanced over, and noticed THIS sitting in the corner. Exterminate! Exterminate! Sure, they had a lot of awesome signed oyster shells…

May 30, 2015: Akemi’s big hair day!
Inspired by Jodelle/Dark Matter's FIVE, Akemi decided to try something a little different... So, whaddya think? Who should she be cosplaying at the San Diego Comic Con? Maybe. Before heading in for her 8 hour hair sessions, Akemi and I entertained our friend Jessie - Canada's future Prime Minster! Alas, I think this phage treatment may…
May 29, 2015: Two weeks to the Dark Matter world premiere! A Jelly update!
"If this series not popular, I really can't believe." - Akemi last night after watching the producer's cut of episode #113, our season finale. Her words echo the sentiments of my writing partner who said pretty much the same thing, in less economical fashion, after viewing prod cuts of our first two episodes: "So, having seen…
May 28, 2015: 15 days to the Dark Matter premiere! Tell your friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances! Maybe a few strangers as well!
Last night, I watched Andy Mikita's director's cut of episode #113, the big season finale. All I can say is: Whoa! I envy all of you who'll be coming into the show fresh when it premieres on June 12th. Believe me, you're in for such a treat. We're not just going to surpass expectations, we're…

"Carnibal is eat the same species." - Akemi on cannibalism. "Hello Kitty’s pet is cat so not carnibal but don’t you find strange?" - Akemi elucidating on the topic of cannibalism. “My stomach and back is touching.” - Akemi's way of letting me know she's hungry. “Wow. So depressing Facebook account ever.” - Akemi passing…
