“So, where do you want to go eat?”asked Rob. Since both of our wives were out of town, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to get out, enjoy a meal, and talk about work without boring the ladies to tears.
I gave it some thought and suggested: “How about Fuel?”
“Hey, don’t get me wrong,”he assured me. [...]

Whenever I start work on a script, I set modest goals and then always surprise myself by exceeding expectations. I’ve done this so often that you would think I’d know better by now but, no, I continue to amaze myself. Take Remnants for instance. I wanted to have a first draft for mid-July but, after [...]

Lawren informed me that, in the coming weeks, I’ll be expected to take part in the “strategic imaginings” for the big event. Hmmm. To be honest, I’m not really [...]

So who is John Scalzi? Well, he’s just the guy who renewed my interest in SF literature and restored my joy of reading, a joy I am forcing upon you all via this book of the month club. I used to read a lot as a kid, particularly scifi, but as I grew older my [...]

Fondy and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary with a special dinner at (Where else?) Fuel. The place was hopping when we arrived for our 6:30 p.m. reservation. Surprising considering many Vancouver restaurants don’t start getting busy until around 7:30 p.m. Also, things were a lot quieter at Fuel last year when the hot [...]

So, hey, a HUGE thank you to Joe Abercrombie for dropping by and monopolizing yesterday’s entry. Hope he enjoyed the Q&A as much as I did. Especially this quote: “I’m also a big admirer of the writing in some of the recent crop of US TV series. [...]

A tragic story. One that fills me with a deep sadness, not only for the deceased, but for the monkey driver who must now resume his chattering/feces-flinging duties at the local zoo with a heavy heart, forever haunted by the memories of his ill-advised joyride in that Lamborghini.
But rather than dwell on that sad tale, [...]
