January 3, 2020: So far…in 2020!

So I was going through my blog archives in search of something else and I came across the following video from back in the day.  Actors Jamil Walker-Smith, Brian J. Smith, and David Blue watching the finished cut of SGU’s Time –

Good times!

I’ve decided to start a new feature on twitter titled – #AmazingPeopleWithWhomIHaveWorked

My modest attempt to add a little positivity to an overwhelmingly negative platform.  I’m going to try to post one a day.

The candidates so far…

#AmazingPeopleWithWhomIHaveWorked
Will Waring – One of the best directors and camera operators in the business. Worked with him on #Stargate's SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe, as well as #DarkMatter. Also known for his visual calling card: the pineapple. pic.twitter.com/A06RsF63WA

#AmazingPeopleWithWhomIHaveWorked
Carl Binder (@cpbinder) – Easily one of the best writers I've ever worked with and certainly one of the funniest and most entertaining. Had #DarkMatter gone another season, the time jump story he plotted out would have been a fan favorite. pic.twitter.com/YaC2MKGzV8

#AmazingPeopleWithWhomIHaveWorked @BrianJacobSmith – An incredibly gifted actor and a remarkably genuine, down-to-earth individual. My friend Ivon said it best: "He's easy to root for". #Stargate #Sense8 #Treadstone pic.twitter.com/wqrFwfdoiV

Things have been quiet on the home front since Lulu’s passing.  We’ve noticed Suji has been a little more needy and has taken to circling the apartment, looking for her adoptive sis.

So, Akemi and I have started having preliminary discussions about getting Suji a friend.  On the one hand, she’s a definite alpha, loves being the center of attention and wants ALL the love; on the other hand, she was a lot more comfortable with another dog in the house, especially when we would go out.

Which brings up another problem.  On the rare occasions when Akemi and I traveled, we felt comfortable leaving Suji with a dog sitter because Lulu went with her.  Now that she’s alone, this seems a less likely option give my gal’s separation anxiety.

Meanwhile, 2020 has been a fairly productive year so far.  I’ve made it a point to stick to a bit of a routine and ensure I accomplish a few things every day.  Namely:

A morning work-out.

Two walks for Suji.

Half an hour of spoken Japanese.

Two exercises of written Japanese (hiragana and katakana).

Progress on any of my ongoing projects (the horror script, the outline for the second episode of TimEscape, various pitches, continued research on that comic book project).

A blog entry.

So far, so good.
