Joseph Mallozzi's Weblog

Oooh, you guys are in for a treat. Carl Binder (Yes! THE Carl Binder!) has agreed to do a post-Missing guest Q&A on this very blog. So what I’m going to do is gather up your Missing and miscellaneous Stargate-related questions (ie. How is your three-part toilet episode coming along?, What is Joseph Mallozzi really…

Allow me to kick off this entry with a huge thank you to regular TesaJB who sent me an awesome belated-birthday/season-5-pick-up-celebration package complete with: photo of classic car, selection of Vosges bars including a “d’Olivia Bar” which is a unique medley of dried kalamata olives and Venezuelan white chocolate (that I was unable to trick…

So I was checking out Site Meter this morning and noticed that the total visits to this blog is creeping up to 665 000. As some of you many know, for the monumental 250 000th visit, I gave away a boxful of one-of-a-kind not-overly-toxic flocking (which PG-15 is no doubt treasuring as I write this…

Today, we celebrated Paul’s belated birthday by watching the final mix of Miller’s Crossing and ordering the “festive special” meal from Swiss Chalet which, sadly, according to Paul, proved neither festive nor special. Fortunately, our off-key rendition of Happy Birthday more than made up for the sub-par lunch. Sure, Paul did his best to ignore…

Bad news for embittered former fans celebrating a dip in the live ratings for Doppelganger. The show rebounded the following week and continues to deliver strongly in key demo’s.On a totally unrelated front, I’m wondering if I can enlist everyone’s support in my drive to Have the Ice Cream Sandwich Discontinued. As some of you…

Last night, Fondy and I went out to dinner with our good friend Ted and his girlfriend Vicki. We’d been meaning to do Peking Duck for a while and, after many, many get-back-ya‘s, we finally got around to it. And so, we ended up at Fortune Garden Seafood Restaurant (1475 West Broadway), which is purported…

To be honest, I was kind of half-hoping the doctor would have prescribed me a black eye patch to along with the eye drops and antibiotics. Damn. It would’ve gone perfectly with my new morning coat and that silver cobra head walking stick with the concealed poisoned rapier I’ve been saving for a special occasion.…

“Have you ever had your eyelid flipped?”the doctor asked as he fished an impossibly long Q-tips out of a big glass jar. I searched my mind before finally answering: “Not intentionally,”. “Well, I’m going to have to flip it in order to examine you,”he said. “It may feel uncomfortable or even a little painful. Let…

Okay, this really hasn’t been my week. Not only is my stomach incredibly upset following an ill-advised decision to go with an atypically healthy lunch alternative (The spinach salad! What the hell was I thinking?!), but that swelling of my upper right eyelid continues to plague me despite my best efforts to deal with the…

Last night, Fondy enlisted my help in getting a little fix-it work done around her office. Unbeknownst to her (she has only known me some fifteen years after all), my handyman skills rate just a tad better than my overall proficiency as a blacksmith, but far, far worse than my mastery of the oboe. Nevertheless,…

Well, this is just great. I have a toothache, I think I may have partially islocated my shouler, and my laptop has taken to haphazardly ropping the letter d. Seriously. What’s a guy to o?Yeah, a certain tooth had been been bothering for a while. It was nothing serious. Just a little iscomfort whenever I…

Well, we were back at it today, spinning stories for season five in a bid to top the tremendous twenty episodes that make up the Atlantis’s fourth season. SciFi has aired the first five and trust me when I say that the best is yet to come. This week’s installment, Tabula Rasa, is one of…

What a week. First, we receive news that Atlantis has been picked up for a fifth season. Then, I get my test results back - everything is normal. Finally, my Melvinskidnappers account received the following email: “We are please to inform you of the announcement today of the QUEEN ELIZABETH International Poverty Alleviation Grant Scheme…

So sad. It’s reached the point know where Cookie Monster’s yahoo account receives more emails from fans than it does from scammers. Still, I’m happy to say that after a lengthy lay-off, I was able to go back and find a couple of potential targets.The first was an email from a DR. atiko tijani who…

Fondy and I are officially “the worst friends in the world”. True. Our buddies Steve and Jodi offered to take us out for my birthday and we had made plans for Wednesday night but, between the news of the show being pick-up, having both cars serviced, and my damn physical (4:00 p.m. as I write…
