November 21, 2023: This and That!
Akemi is trying to choose between the Pixel 8 Pro, the Pixel 8, or the Pixel 7 Pro. Which should she go with and why?
(Drea, my wife is counting on your keen insights on this one!)
Short list of stuff I'm going to try when I'm in Tokyo next month:
Spicy Miso Fried Chicken
Cheesy Matcha Frappuccino
Lacquer-black Cheesecake Ice Cream Bar
Häagen-Dazs Brûlée Brûlée Brûlé
Butter Pudding
Butter Frappuccino
Uji Matcha Cinnabon

I’m especially looking forward to that black lacquer cheesecake ice cream bar. Hopefully it’s still around in two weeks.
I'm doing my part for the environment by using those biodegradable dog poop bags my wife bought. You know, the ones that fall apart in your hands?

Also, those biodegradable straws that turn to mush after three sips and, it turns out, aren’t any better for the environment than their plastic counterparts.
If love the idea of eggnog more than I like actual eggnog. For some reason, I always expect it to be thicker and yolkier than it actually is. pic.twitter.com/jlhlWHG2a6

I want something more like the consistency of the Vietnamese egg creams (coffee, chocolate, and condensed milk) or the sabayon (beaten egg yolk and sugar) mom used to make for me when I was a kid.
SHOWBIZ TIP #37
Always assume everyone is lying to you even if there is no point in doing so or it works against their better interests. Consider it their default setting, and plan accordingly.

SHOWBIZ TIP #63
There will come a time when someone will take credit for your work. And this will not be the last time this happens.
— Joseph Mallozzi
More often than not this is not an insidious action but simply part of the business. In the writers’ room, for instance, a lot of the ideas you come up with will be contributions to someone else’s script. Hell, I remember one Atlantis episode where I came up with the idea for the story, all the act breaks, and every gag – before the script went to another writer. And then there are all the uncredited rewrites, occasionally page one full rewrites, that you do as part of your job as a showrunner.
