At some point late last night, Akemi decided the guest room we were sleeping in was too cold for her, so she moved to the second guest room.  It wasn't until 6:00 a.m. that Suji realized she was missing - at which point she freaked out, in turn freaking Lulu out.  They would NOT go…

Merry Christmas Eve from mom.  Here, have some Christmas cookies. In case you missed it, check out - https://medium.com/fan-fare/12-of-the-best-science-fiction-fantasy-television-series-of-the-decade-406d3c719e1a Thanks to Rod T. Faulkner, longtime Dark Matter supporter, for the mention. Alright.  It's time for another round of Guess the Horror Movie by its Tagline.  Yesterday, we played the Easy Edition.  Congratulations to Colleen O’Shaughnessy for being the…

336.5 miles, 74 kpop songs, and one prosciutto, lettuce and tomato sandwich later, we arrived in Montreal.  The dogs were a little edgy for the first two hours until they presumably realized were not, in fact, going to the visit the vet - at which point they kicked back and snoozed through the remainder of…

Blergh! Do you wanna build a snowman? Sunday sisters. Lulu in action. Flaps down!  Prepare for take-off!

Bonnie and Clyde "They're young, they're in love, and they kill people."  Napoleon Dynamite "He's out to prove he's got nothing to prove" Grosse Pointe Blank "Even a hitman deserves a second shot." Edward Scissorhands "His story will touch you even though he can't." Ghostbusters "Who you gonna call?" I Am Legend "The last man…

Dark Matter would, of course, be top of the list - but in the interest of being as objective as possible, I will exclude my own (albeit well-deserving) show. #10. Sliders What a terrific concept for a sci-fi series.  The possibilities are as endless as the parallel worlds in our multiverse. #9. Logan's Run I've…

This was much of my day today - Well, that and preparing my bank statements and taxes for my year end.  Oh, and eating a sandwich with extra avocado because we're heading out of town on Monday and need to finish them before we go.  But mostly cutting.  And blocking.  And muting. The upcoming holidays…

A heartbreaking day back home in Montreal where mom had to say goodbye to her constant companion for these many years, Felix.  He'd been ill for a while now and, in recent days, his condition had really taken a turn for the worse.  It's always difficult to know when is the right time to let…

Wow.  There's nothing quite like having your team eliminated from fantasy football playoff contention to really put the rest of your life in stark relief.  On the bright side, I do some of my best writing when I'm angry and have already completed the first act of my new horror feature. I'l focus on that…

The latest in Suji's coffee cup cap series. Single snoozer. The dynamic duo. https://youtu.be/u4Mi6OdqQ-Q Sneezerific! Soaking up those rays!

2019 was a surprisingly anemic reading year for me.  On the heels of an astounding 2018, when all is said and done, I'll be lucky to crack 80 books by month's end.  Sure, impressive for some, but not this usually avid reader.  I don't know.  Chalk it up to the fact that I was showrunning…

This morning marked the final mix session for Utopia Falls' first season.  And, once the final note had been given, we celebrated with champagne and mini cupcakes!  Congratulations to series creator, Executive Producer, director RT Thorne on finally seeing his vision fully realized.  A BIG thank you to him, Andrea and the rest of the…

In case you missed, it another deleted scene from Stargate: Atlantis's "Reunion".  Well, okay, not technically a deleted scene but a big chunk of a deleted scene pertaining to Carson's beloved turtles... This was just uploaded to the Stargate Command youtube channel, a behind-the-scenes feature that makes it clear why I am no longer permitted…
