The Barbacoa.  The Pollo al Pastor.  And, for dessert, the Tres Leches (Campechano) 

We took a walk to work off lunch.  And then stopped to replenish our energy…

Dessert #2 – The Pancake Cereal Sundae (Butter Baker)

July 22, 2021: Pushing my luck! Down for dill! Travel by train!


Akemi upset that the actor playing the philandering husband in the C-drama she is watching learned nothing from his experience playing the philandering husband in the land C-Drama she watched.


— Joseph Mallozzi (@BaronDestructo) July 22, 2021


That should read “last C-Drama she watched”.


Akemi: Now he's saying HE made sacrifices too! What sacrifices did HE make?
Me: I'm sure the hotel room wasn't cheap. And he probably had to spring for the occasional dinner…

Today’s Yes/No…


Dill Pickle Gummies? Yes/No https://t.co/4p4FfJ9DTp


— Joseph Mallozzi (@BaronDestructo) July 22, 2021


Gotta admit, I’m not averse to pickle and dill-flavored sweets.  There was a neighborhood pop-up that was offering a pickle soft serve last summer.  I was meaning to try it out but just never got around to doing so.

Thinking of going to Montreal for a few days to visit mom and sis now that everyone is vaxxed up.  Considering actually going by train.

Don’t ever recall traveling by train before.  Wonder what it will be like.

Expectation…

Reality….

The start of the week just isn’t the same without the Dark Matter Monday stream with the gang at Orville Nation.  But, for Stargate fans, there’s THIS –

This one’s a double no for me – and a double yes for Akemi.

Sent off an expanded pitch for that sci-fi superhero cloak and dagger series yesterday.  A fun premise with a colorful cast of characters as our unlikely protagonists.  This was actually the third of the three show ideas I submitted and, surprisingly, the chosen favorite.  It’s always the one you least expect.

Tomorrow, it’s a rare second shot as we re-pitch a new take of that classic science fiction television series.  The original was trippy, but our version is going to downright psychedelic sci-fi.

Got the first batch of concept sketches for Project F from the amazing Henry Fong.  Some really stunning work from Henry, including: First World Corporate Headquarters in GangNam, Jayu Stadium, the tricked out pods (!), various designs for The Citadel, the Embarkation Chamber (That is, frankly, even cooler than I had originally envisioned), Second World, and some character designs (including some wicked weapons).  These images will eventually be incorporated into our pitch deck and bible…and to this blog, eventually.  Stay tuned!

July 17, 2021: The Saturday Report!

Finally tracked down our second pfizer vaccines yesterday.  It only took about three hours of walking around the city to get it done.  The doctor who administered my shot advised me to steer clear of alcohol for the weekend – but I’m assuming that does not apply to bourbon-laced chocolate ice cream.  I feel a little lethargic today, but I’m not sure if that’s just my standard run-of-the-mill lethargy.  Akemi, on the other hand, is exhausted and ended up napping this afternoon.

So that’s over and done with.

Until they tell us we need boosters.

Today’s Yes/No…


Bone Marrow Tacos? Yes/Nohttps://t.co/FpNrOlpC2j

This one’s a big YES from me.

News of note:

Dogs ‘just get’ humans in ways other animals can’t, evolutionary scientists conclude

I already had a feeling.
