March 17, 2023: I Remembered to Blog!

I woke up this morning to a DM from my friend, Dr. Blackjack, a message time-stamped 9.42 p.m. last night: “Blog entry today!”.  Indeed, it had completely slipped my mind.  And, I suppose, I could have just skipped the March 16th blog entry, but in the interest of preserving my blogging streak, I uploaded a very late Thursday entry at around 7:30 a.m. on Friday…though, to be fair, I’m sure it was Thursday somewhere.  Maybe Mars?  I don’t know.

Anyway, I woke up this morning with a fabulous idea for a horror movie.  I pitched the first act to Akemi and she loved it.  Now, all I have to do is come up with two more acts, an awesome ending, and write the script – but not before finishing up work on these various other projects including the overview for that android-themed murder mystery.

I’ve come to realize I’m cut out for neither in-person meetings nor zoom meetings…

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I ordered chocolates from Akemi’s second favorite chocolatier, Jean-Paul Hevin (her favorite chocolatier, La Maison du Chocolat apparently doesn’t ship to Canada).  A month later, for White Day (Look it up!), I ordered from my favorite chocolatier, Patrick Roger –

Heavy on the pralines!
