As a teenager, long before I could afford a home computer with a printer, there was the Canon St*r Writer 60--my first word processor. I wrote numerous stories, particularly fan fiction. I salute you, old friend. #memories #writerslife I wish I still had you. "Quiet" printer could wake the dead. XD

Last night, my second D&D campaign w/ my current group came to an end. More than two years, 20 levels, character deaths & resurrections, ancient evils, epic battles, love, betrayal, paranoia, fear, & most of all fun. There are few things like a #TTRPG w/ right group of friends.

Finally got around to watching Nosferatu (2024), joined by my friend @creekfanatic88.bsky.social. Eggers just doesn't disappoint. Beautiful. Haunting. Familiar but strange. Erotic. Brutal. I'm still not sure how I feel about Orlok's mustache, though. Peculiar choice. Otherwise, I loved it.

For some odd reason I decided to sit through all 68 episodes of Z Nation, a SyFy series from 2014. It's a prime example what actors can do to make their characters fun in a show that is bonkers & makes next to no sense at almost any point. It's bizarre fun & bizarre bad at once.

I'm outside on my beautiful patio using my laptop for a zoom call with 8 other people. I'm walking inside when I feel something on my leg. I look down annnd it's a frog; chilling on my calf. I danced around in silent terror shaking this new little friend the f*ck off of me. XD

Nearing the end of March, I've written a full-length play, three episode scripts for a hybrid short film/video game project, the GDD, cinematics, and the tutorial level of another #videogame project. #WriteOn #WritersLife

First in-depth pass of rewrites for my full-length #horror play is complete. Next step is more rewrites, a cold reading, an official reading, & then off to wide, wonderful world of submission land. Sounds kinky when I put it that way. I guess it is a little masochistic. XD This post went haywire.

The first draft of my full-length #horror play is complete. The in-depth notes session with my dramaturge was a great success. Rewrites and updates are underway. #writer #writerslife #theatre

Cobra Kai, I found you when you were this weird little show on @YouTube "Red" and watched you grow on @Netflix into a perfect little blend of nostalgia and new. The use of Joe Esposito's "You're the Best" was spot-on bow-tieing brilliance. You will be missed.

40 mins of end credits. I sat through them all bcuz everyone involved in Cyberpunk 2077 deserves that time. A freakin' fantastic #videogame that delivers in every way a game can for me. @cdpr made one incredible piece of entertainment & storytelling. Time for a new playthrough.

My current D&D campaign reached level 18. The showdown between the party and Bathory, the Lich Queen, is getting closer. But I told my players that destroying the evil undead and reaching level 20 is far from the end. #TTRPG @dndbeyond.com

David Lynch is a cinematic legend. A distinct vision & voice. His first six feature #films will be discussed for ages. Number seven was Lost Highway (1997), which bedazzled my brain with sparkling gems of surreal story possibilities. Enjoy the great screening in the sky.

32 years ago today I was a teenager beating Prince of Persia for the Sega CD at the stroke of midnight. Tonight won't be that exciting but I will be happily grinding my life away in Path of Exile 2 #videogames Happy New Year to all!

In 2024, I sold my first feature #film AND my first TV pilot. I end the year on the verge of signing the contracts to write another pilot. Bring on 2025!

Thanks to my friend David Jaffe & our connection via the awesome Popcorn Frights #Horror Film Festival I was able to watch a movie I adore in theaters for the first time ever. The Fall (2006) by director Tarsem Singh stars my man-crush Lee Pace & is just such a visually captivating #film.
