April 28, 2011: Maintaining my constant Defcon 1 status!

Taking a little break from my Stargate ponderings to shift focus to the new show, Transporter: The Series.  This morning, we welcomed our new continuity director…

Look at the fear in his eyes! We whisked him out of Vancouver late last night and he woke up to find himself in Toronto this morning. This weekend, we ship him off to Europe! From there, he's off to North Korea to shoot some propaganda videos for Kim Jong-Il's upcoming birthday celebrations - and get some cool 2nd unit car driving sequences.

Then, it was three successive interviews with some potential Directors of Photography, THIS massive lunch sandwich -

And a futile attempt to get some work done on my latest script, episode 5.  I've stalled out on page 30, the sudden halt to my creative flow uncoincidentally coinciding with my return to the production offices.  Well, hopefully I'll be able to get some work done tonight on the flight to L.A.

Right after I finish watching the last two episodes of The League's second season of course.

Well, while I maintain a constant Defcon 1 status, my dogs have settled in quite nicely.  I'm sure they miss the backyard, their awesome Vancouver daycare, and all the extra room, but they seem to be doing okay…

Hey, I ran into the lovely Erika Kennair (our former SyFy Stargate: Universe point person) while out walking the dogs this morning.  She's in town for a week, so we're going to get together and relive old times.

Akemi celebrated her birthday the other day.  Since I won't be hosting my annual chocolate party this year, we decided to have a smaller little chocolate-themed get-together, just the three of us: Akemi, me, and La Maison du Chocolat.

I believe I already mentioned that Fondy was kind enough to invite us over for dinner last weekend.  For dessert, she pulled out all the stops…

Macarons! My favorites!

She even picked up red velvet cupcakes (Akemi's favorites!) so we could sing a happy birthday.

Me and Stewie

Busy, BUSY day tomorrow, but will squeeze in an entry before boarding the red-eye back to Toronto.

P.S. Just received word the Audi's have touched down in Paris!

Magnifique!!!
