An exhausting day today spent watching every NFL game televised (and that was all of 'em, folk!). God bless the NFL package provided by my local satellite provider. At one point, I was flipping between five different games in order to track the progress of my fantasy roster. Looks like week 9 was kind to…

October 28, 2009: Another see-ya-later, this one to Jamil Walker Smith. More spinning! More Mailbag!
Today we bid a fond see-ya-later to the wonderful Jamil Walker-Smith, SGU’s resident warrior - Sergeant Ronald Greer. It seems like just yesterday we were watching his F bomb-studded audition stream (THAT got our attention!), marveling at his incredible onscreen presence. His unique charm completely won us over (and him the part), then continued to…
September 10, 2009: I coulda been a reiki master! Glee! Carl receives script notes! Mark Burgess!
Patrick Gilmore (SGU’s Dale Volker) dropped by my office this morning to request permission to use some of the photos I’d taken of him for an upcoming newspaper feature (I suggest going with “Flight of the Volkery“ or “You‘ve Got Dale!”). I was, of course, more than happy to oblige, offering up free use of…

August 21, 2009: Google Translation! Script Notes! Wedding Wishes! VFX Supervisor Mark Savela! Actor Jamil Walker Smith!
Over the course of the many weeks I’ve spent researching restaurants for my upcoming Tokyo trip, I’ve made use of numerous resources: professional reviews, personal blogs, the Michelin guide, and, of course, several Japanese food sites. Negotiating the latter has not been without its share of frustration, however, owing to the fact that many of…
June 22, 2009: 19 Down And 1 To Go! Jamil Walker Smith!
Jamil Walker Smith (Sgt. Greer) Well, after several weeks of talking about it, we finally sat down and did it - the writers set aside their other work (editing, outlines, autobiographies) and their differences (the Binder-Gero feud is legendary) to gather and break Episode #19. And, in under two and a half hours, we were…
May 21, 2009: Death By Musical Theater, Into the Jungle, and an Update on the Comic Book Front
Ready to take down the confirmation number with my lucky Tokyo pen. Today, I bought tickets to Altar Boyz, a musical production that the Arts Club Theatre describes thusly: “ Watch out 'N Sync, the Altar Boyz are coming to town! Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham-the gefilte fish out of water-can sing and dance…
May 20, 2009: GottaMakeThisFast!
Carl: "This better be good." Tuna appetizer Short ribs Carl gives the food the thumbs up. Green tea opera cake Well damn. Looks like I’m on the clock tonight. I forgot my power cord at work meaning I only have as long as my laptop battery lasts to get this entry out. According to…
