The answer to last week’s “Liar, Liar” was #1: Juggerpix is a dork and doesn’t understand the awesomeness of the Defiant. As for the others: I’m sure Grimm is still laughing at the suggestion that he would go near a naked yoga class; Voix has probably been inspired to seek out dummies but doesn’t currently [...]

So, um, big news. No, I didn’t sell my book. This is actually bigger.
I got engaged.
Tuesday was MyGuyTM’s birthday. We went out for dinner then to the Ordway to see the tour of THE COLOR PURPLE (which was awesome). Before hand, I took him to the third level of the theatre, sat him down, and [...]

The answer to last week’s “Liar, Liar” is #2: I wrote a spec script to revive VOYAGERS! And because I’m sure you’re DYING to know what it was about… My VOYAGERS! revamp took the show away from it’s “history lesson” format and more into a serial drama, slightly more action-oriented. The story took place 25 [...]
