Holy smokes. I’m battling a headache of epic proportions. Those extra three hours of sleep (I woke up at a tardy 9:00 a.m.) did absolutely no good. In fact, they cut into my day, ensuring that I not complete the innumerable things I set out to do. Still, I did manage to accomplish a few [...]

So next week is the big Ice Cream Throwdown pitting me against fellow Exec. Producer Rob Cooper. Four flavors! Two days! One champion!

Today, we sat down to watch Andy Mikita’s director’s cut of Trial and Error, one of my favorite episodes of SGU’s second season. And that’s saying someting given that I wasn’t initially onboard with the story when it was first pitched. Well, one terrific script and a solid week of production behind us, and we’ve [...]

This afternoon, Carl and I took a stroll through the new alien set on Stage 6. To say that we were mightily impressed would be to understate it. Wow. Needless to say, I took lots of pics. Needless to say, I can’t show you any of said pics at the risk of spoiling things for [...]

Ice Cream Weekend! Some of the flavors I made… For those who asked, here’s my basement home theater set-up: The guys who installed the system convinced me to paint the walls black, which I think was a great call as I can also use the room for interrogations. Thanks to all those who sent – [...]

Thanks to everyone who took the time to offer up personal stories detailing how they got where they are now. Inspirational stuff. It gives me hope that, some day, I too may make something of myself. Also thanks to everyone who has offered up anime recommendations. To be honest, I’m not actually a neophyte to [...]

Thanks for all the awesome feedback on last nights’ episode, Subversion. It was scripted by my writing partner, Paul Mullie (he of episode #11, Divided, fame) and, as I mentioned in a previous post, he’s been firing on all creative cylinders of late. He’s in fine form in season two as well with two equally [...]
