Time to break out the summer wardrobe! She looks like she's either going to go horseback riding, or solve a crime. When she knows you have treats and you're holding out on her. When you see the tongue, you know she's relaxed. And this blast from the past = Suji, back in her wheelchair days.…
My Top 10 Zombie Movies!
And to answer your inevitable question: "Yes, I have seen it. But I didn't like it as much as any of these ten movies." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ5Vz8qE8R8 10 - Maggie A father and daughter struggle to come to terms with their dark destiny after she is bitten by a zombie.

June 2, 2020: An Impromptu Mailbag
Quantum Mechanics writes: "I wish you’d consider making a show about aliens who help people instead of trying to harm them as all the rest of TV and movies portray aliens." Answer: One of the main characters in the TimEscape series I'm developing is a helpful alien. Well, an alien with the best of intentions…
June 1, 2020: The secret ingredient is…gabapentin! The wheels are turning!
I think Akemi may have slipped something into my food today. Hear me out. For lunch today, I had a giant cheeseburger with avocado, tomato, wild leek chimichurri, and La Bomba spicy Calabrese pepper spread. I was feeling perfectly fine and lay down for a couple of seconds. Next thing I know, it's 2 hours…
May 31, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Thanks for all the well-wishes. Suji is doing fine although, as I pointed out last Sunday, markedly slower on her walks. We're cycling collagen into her meals and are looking into CBD oil for her as well. Her hindquarters have been cramping up a bit lately, something that happened a lot when we first adopted…
May 30, 2020: The Final Word on Crypto?
A review of the responses from yesterday's blog entry suggests that the "Each State's Favorite Fast Food" map I posted was...well...grossly inaccurate. OR commissioned by the suspiciously popular Mod Pizza to drum up sales. So, I'd love to know what YOU consider your state's favorite fast food. Here in Ontario, I think it's the rather…
May 29, 2020: Let’s talk crypto currencies!
I mean, wut? Alaskas favorite fast food restaurant is Tim Hortons? Hawaii's is Popeyes? Also - what's Mod? And why is it so popular? I mentioned yesterday that our former VFX Supervisor on SG-1, James Tichenor, recommended we invest in Netflix. Back in 2004. Netflix? The movie rental company? James was quite insistent that streaming…
May 29, 2020: Breakfast cereal and haggis ice cream. But not together, because that would be gross.
I couldn't resist. I was in the cereal aisle of my local supermarket today (in my masks and gloves of course) and decided to pick up these two boxes. I'm more of a steel cut Irish oatmeal type of guy, but was inspired by Gabe over Cereal Time TV. In truth the last time I…
May 27, 2020: Worst snack ever!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1265731214633205761 Seriously. It was like eating a pack of Newports. Today's movie-themed question - https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1265777666646474758 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1265777667577651205
May 26, 2020: My accomplishments pale to Akemi’s!
Well, time to take my supplements! So, that's what I accomplished this week. Akemi, on the other hand, in addition to the gardening and the baking, has been making gyoza... I, of course, have been doing my part and supporting her by eating them. Today's movie-themed question... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1265418067393339393 Received some sad news today. Beloved french…
May 25, 2020: Results, a recommendation, and a couple of movie-themed questions!
Thank you to all those who weighed in with suggestions for Suji. We're going to try introducing collagen supplements and CBD oil into her routine. Hopefully we see some improvement in the next few weeks. Also, in the next few weeks, I look forward to seeing the results of our grand social experiment. Either many…
May 24, 2020: Suji Sunday!
Suji seems to be slowing down. It's as if someone flipped a switch on her birthday. Whereas once she was a determined and tireless walker, lately she has been slow and given to lengthy stoppages. It reminds of a similar situation with my pug, Jelly, who would just quit partway through her walks, taking a…
