January 11, 2022: How many pillows is too many?

Started reading a new book, had a zoom strategy session, discussed another project, sent off the polish of my last pilot, researched the new feature (specifically 1930's road trips), did some stock research, completed a Korean lesson, completed a Japanese lesson, and blocked about 200 accounts on twitter.  A full yet satisfying day. Here in…

January 10, 2022: READING…(and reviews!)

Screen-shot-2022-01-10-at-51148-pm

As promised, I would be picking up my reading this year.  Here are brief reviews of some of the 2022 releases I've read so far in January... The Insecure Mind of Sergei Kraev by Eric Silberstein The year is 2100. The lack of trust that characterized the early Internet era is long behind us. Mathematical…

January 8, 2022: Food aversions, agreements, and Stargate!

Akemi is cheese-phobic.  So unreasonable is she in her aversion that she won't allow me to put a plate in the dishwasher if it has come into contact with cheese.  Instead, I have to hand wash it - with plenty of soap and hot water.  And yet she finds ME downright weird for not enjoying…

January 4, 2022: Here we go again!

Well, Toronto is heading into lockdown for another three weeks after which, I'm sure, everything will be solved and life will return to normal.  Except for all the small businesses that will never be able to recover.  Indoor gatherings will also be limited... https://twitter.com/matt_obrien/status/1478042116391641090 Pick your poison.... Leaning towards the Koval myself, but why choose?…

January 3, 2022: Watching, Reading, Writing!

As I mentioned the other day, this year I am going to make a concerted effort to read and watch (and, hopefully, write) more in 2022.  More books.  More comics.  More shows.  More movies.  And every so often, I'll do capsule write-ups to help you decide what to check out and, perhaps, what to avoid.…

January 1, 2022: Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  How did you celebrate the countdown?  I rang in the New Year watching the final episode of the 6-part Korean sci-fi  series The Silent Sea.  Great premise, some very cool SF elements, and some memorable moments but it was a little slow at times.  Overall, a worthy watch. We commemorated New Year's…

December 30, 2021: What’s on the reading horizon for January, 2022!

Sis sent me the this pic from back in the day.  Truth is, if you'd have taken a photo of me at any point in my life, chances are good I'd have been holding a book. Which makes it downright shameful I won't be posting a Best of Reads for 2021 since I did little…

December 29, 2021: Today is Wednesday!

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…
