May 31, 2019: Hattendo is here! Hattendo is here!
As many of you blog regulars who have followed my Tokyo exploits are already aware, I am a HUGE fan of Hattendo cream buns. They are one of the high points of my annual Japan trips – fluffy cream-filled buns available in various flavors. ]On my last days in Tokyo, I always make it a point to swing by the Akihabara subway station so I can pick up a few for the flight home. But, as of today, I will no longer have to go to Japan to get my Hattendo fix because they are now available here in Toronto at the Hattendo Cafe (15 Baldwin Street).
They had their soft opening today, so Akemi and I swung by to sample the goods.
Ah, natsukashii. This brings me back.
Also available: matcha, adzuki, and custard melon pan, various coffees and lattes, and a Hattendo ramune.
I’m considering putting in an application for the Hattendo mascot position. They can pay me in buns. What do you think?

Dark Matter Virtual Season 4 – Episode 4.03, Act 1
Erratum! 5/11 should read: “Aboard the Raza, FIVE exits the transit pod. THREE, Wexler, and TWO are waiting for her. So? Did she get her sister the transmission codes? FIVE doesn’t know. The only thing they can do know is wait and see…”

May 23, 2019: Dark Matter Virtual Season 4 – Episode 4.03 Coming Your Way!
I have a window of opportunity to do a little writing in the coming weeks: completing the pilot script for my (formerly) Untitled Awesome Project, outlining the pilot for that comic book adaptation, beating out the first five issues of my original ship-based sci-fi comic book series, developing that horror novel adaptation, hopefully moving on to the next step on that other BIG comic book adaptation, AND posting Episode 4.03 of the Dark Matter Virtual Season 4 wherein FOUR attempts to make peace with his recent past, FIVE meets her long-lost sister Carina, and the crew suffers a shocking betrayal.
YES! ANOTHER SHOCKING BETRAYAL!
Anyway, get caught up if you haven’t already…
Episode 4.01 (The Virtual Season 4 Premiere!)
ACT 1 – ACT 2 – ACT 3 – ACT 4 – ACT 5
Episode 4.02
ACT 1 – ACT 2 – ACT 3 – ACT 4 – ACT 5
I’ll look to drop the first chapter in the coming days.
