Okay, I’m about to lose it. After days of exhaustive online research, I finally found: a) a suitable doggy daycare in Toronto and b) a couple of potential neighborhoods within reasonable driving distance of the studio. Progress! Until today when I realized that I was looking at the wrong studio. To be more precise, the [...]

With the back half of Stargate: Universe’s second season set to premiere in a little over a week (Tuesday March 8th on Space – or check your local listings), I thought it was high time I got around to posting more behind-the-scene pics… So, following another sleepless night, I’ decided to reconsider the whole “charter [...]

“It’s like a smoodjie,”said Akemi. “Huh?”said I. “It’s like a smoodjie,”she repeated, assuming I’d misheard. I hadn’t. Again, “Huh?”. “A smoodjie,”she said. Then, slowly, doing her best to clearly enunciate: “Smooodjieeee. Smoooodjiieeee.” I glanced down at my milkshake and the penny finally dropped. ”Smoothie?” “Smoodjie,”she corrected herself. “Smoooooothiieeee,”I corrected her correction. “Smooooothiiieeeee.” It reminded me [...]
February 24, 2011: Nicely formatted. Your grammar is beyond reproach. As for the rest of it – well, you may want to cancel that weekend trip.

With the first drafts of both scripts out, I woke up this morning prepared to do something different, only to spend the day doing something not so different after all. Rob dropped me an email to inform me he’d spoken to a couple of the production’s participants. They had a few notes. But, Rob assured [...]
February 23, 2011: A final visit to my Stargate stomping grounds?

I got up early this morning to tackle the rewrites on both scripts, a task that took me a little over three hours to complete. Once done, I fired them off to the various interested parties, along with an email to Alex breaking down how I’d addressed his notes and, occasionally, arguing why I thought [...]
February 22, 2011: Well, I guess these scripts aren’t gonna rewrite themselves!

Went through several more of the boxes sitting in my crawlspace, threw it more stuff, came across more forgotten treasure: For lunch today – Alex got back to me today and provided some excellent feedback. I started work on implementing the notes on both scripts with an aim to putting out the next draft [...]
February 21, 2011: Script and bible work! My Vegas line-up! My dieting dogs! And WHY are WE capitalizing RANDOM words?!

I’m simultaneously exhausted and wound up, ready for bed yet hankering to finish work on the half dozen tasks I’ve been hopping between all day. Because of a minor hand injury I sustained yesterday, I was unable to hit the weights this morning so I skipped my work-out and focused on writing that series bible. [...]
February 20, 2011: Vegas, baby! Another middling lunch! More spring cleaning! And more mailbag!

Screw it! I’m going to Vegas! If things go the way I think they will, then next month is going to be crazy between planning for the Toronto move and the move itself. And it aint gonna get any easier once I get there. We’re going to be starting up a new series and that [...]
February 19, 2011: Cranky!

Hey, you know what I hate more than moving? Nothing. Nothing even comes close. I hate the packing, the boxing up, the hiring of the movers, the move itself, the unpacking and unboxing, the farewell to your old comfy place, the hello to your new weird surroundings. As I mentioned in a previous post, even [...]
