October 19, 2019: Down to my fighting weight!

I used to be a lot heavier.  I’d say about 28 lbs heavier back in the day – “the day” being near the end of my first season on Stargate.  Between all that delicious catering and all those restaurants, I really packed on the weight.  At my heaviest I was a strapping 188 – as…

October 18, 2019: Riding the development merry-go-round!

So, I’m circling the week of November 11th to be back in L.A. for another round of pitches and generals.  This time, I’ll be going out with one big pitch – and a few briefer targeted pitches including that military sci-fi series, the far future spaceship series, and the high concept horror movie (or possibly…

October 17, 2019: Eagle-Eyed Readers, Suji & Lulu Pins, and #SecretsOfStargate – and Dark Matter!

There’s not getting anything past you eagle-eyed readers!  In response to many of you who were taken by surprise… Yes, that IS a Gudetama mug Akemi got me for my birthday.  Cool, no? Oh, and, yes, we got married. The important thing is Suji and Lulu will no longer be made fun of by the…

October 16, 2019: Birthday!

Thanks to all for the birthday well-wishes.  It’s been quite a day!  In no particular order… Fielded a slew of online birthday messages. Worked out. Updated my fantasy football roster. Got birthday swag from Akemi. Had the Red Dragon ramen at Ramen Isshin. Got married. Had dessert at Le TAO. Had the matcha and chocolate…

October 15, 2019: Back home!

I’m back home following a whirlwind 3-day visit to Montreal to visit with mom, sis, and my cousin who was in the hospital for heart surgery.  By all accounts, it went well and she’s hopefully on the road to a speedy recovery.  She’d been complaining of trouble breathing for three weeks now, assuming it was…

October 14, 2019: Sulli

This morning, I woke up to the news that kpop idol Sulli, Choi Jinri, had taken her own life.  Although I’m relatively new to the world of kpop, Sulli was instantly notable to me for several reasons.  First, as a member of the group f(x).  Then for her solo release earlier this, Goblin, a song…

October 12, 2019: Montreal!

A late blog post today as I’ve been traveling and just settled in for the night.  Normally, it’s way past my bedtime, but out of concern for your concern for me,  dear readers, I am composing this entry before lights out. Following a brunch of duck confit and bone marrow french toast with Akemi, Jeff,…

October 11, 2019: Spooky Friday at the ROM!

Ooooh.  Spooky.  Just in time for Halloween.  The Royal Ontario Museum is hosting a horror-themed exhibition: It’s Alive!  Classic Horro and Sci-Fi Art from the Kirk Hammett Collection. Akemi’s reaction upon glimpsing this classic film poster for The Creature from the Black Lagoon: “He looks like one of the Real Wives of Beverly Hills”. Haven’t…

October 10, 2019: This and That!

Had dinner with writer-producer Alan McCullough (Stargate, Reign, Private Eyes).  It was great catching up – and hard to believe that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of SG-1’s premiere.  25 years!  It feels just like yesterday that my pugs were running the halls of the Bridge Studios while the gang and I spun…
