What are some of the best horror movies you've seen in recent memory? I'm thinking of doing a Halloween marathon. Today was a writing and research day. Tomorrow will be the same, but will have the added bonus of a long overdue zoom chat with one of my very favorite writers, Carl Binder! The last…

Received a great set of notes on the draft so I'll be spending the next few days on rewrites and aim to have the new and improved Promise of Blood pilot out by mid next week at the latest. Meanwhile... https://twitter.com/BrianTMcClellan/status/1453370617139445763 The interview should be out in a few weeks. In…

October 26, 2021: Annual Check-Up Day!
I slept fitfully last night (as is the custom whenever I have to wake up for an early appointment the following morning), waking up at 4:00 a.m. and then trying to fall back asleep for another two hours before giving up and getting up. Today, of course, was the day of our annual check-ups and…
October 25, 2021: Tomorrow, I’ll be poked, prodded, tested, and have my diet critiqued by a nutritionist.
This morning, I completed what I'm calling the "One Step Removed From the Polish" draft of my sci-fi/kpop mash-up for that big production company - streamlining, gamifying, adding a few more fun visuals and characters beats, and front loading a few of the surprise reveals into the pilot. One in particular will have viewers catching…
October 24, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Hmph! Hanging in the lobby. Blaaargh! That hopeful look in her eyes. Deni's sushi card checks out. That just-woke-up face. Battle stance!
October 23, 2021: The Saturday Brief!
I'm thinking of getting back into the matinee swing of things. There's nothing I like more than taking in a midday movie in an almost empty theater. Hard to believe it's been over two years since the last time. I want to go back but... is there anything worth seeing? Do tell. Today's Yes/No.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1451908598699864064…
October 22, 2021: Hitting the Gym!
Came across this article today.... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1451607448897327105 Which is somehow appropriate given that I had occasion to use the peloton on my recent gym visit because all of the two working treadmills were occupied. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it's the fucking worst. Simply getting on and pedaling is not an option. You…
October 21, 2021: Science and Sour Patch Kids!
Pick your poison! On the left is some of Akemi's homemade limoncello (recipe here) which was a two month process and certainly worth it. I say that, of course, because I didn't peel any lemon skins, soak them in alcool for 45 days making sure to give them a daily shake, strain the liquid, mix…

October 16, 2021: Birthday Blog!
I'd like to thank everyone who posted birthday wishes here and on twitter. Greatly appreciated. So, what did I do to celebrate? You mean besides researching propane stocks and unhedged natural gas producers? Well, I woke up early this morning at just a few minutes before 6:00 a.m. "Why were you up so early?"you may…
