Last thought before bed:

It was really nice to see that Rexy, the T. rex from 'Jurassic Park' met Buck and Doe from 'The Lost World' in the Biosyn valley at the end of 'Jurassic World: Dominion'.

Poor Rexy is old and had been alone for so long. It was nice to see her get a happy ending 🥹🦖❤️

I'm working a scene in my WIP and I've said this before but it is hilarious how I'll have a plan for a scene and it's outlined and everything but once I start typing, I realize my plans don't work for the scene.

'Subtly creepy' has become 'overt threat' at the moment.

I remember when I thought/hoped the Xbox Series S would look like this ⬇️

Since I took the day off, I was able to sort my new #StarWars novels into the timeline in chronological order and here is where we're currently at regarding time spent in different eras.

My favorite eras are 'Fall of the Jedi' and 'Reign of the Empire'. The time between III and IV is BUSY 😐

When I first read the Professor Robert Langdon novels back in 2005, I saw Bill Paxton as Langdon but reading 'The Secret of Secrets', I finally saw Tom Hanks in my mind.

Great, great character.

Sounds insane but I think the coolest thing ever would be an adaptation of 'Disney's TaleSpin' but big budget & live-action, featuring CG motion capture performances of the animal characters.

I've been watching it with my kiddo and I love the breezy pulp adventure vibe.

It would look GORGEOUS 🤩

Might be a hot take but I dig Xbox's new direction.

Obviously, PlayStation is branching out to PC and Nintendo is happily staying the course on their current strategy but I really miss when PlayStation and Xbox were going at it as competitors in a big way.

I miss the Xbox and Xbox 360 era 😮‍💨

Why is this even a problem?

'Dr. No' (1962) established a continuity that ran all the way to 'Die Another Day' (2002).

'Casino Royale' established a continuity that ended with 'No Time to Die'.

Just start a new continuity with a mid-30s 007, don't mention his age, and recast every few movies.

New book arrived!

☑️ 'Star Wars: Master of Evil' by @adamchristopher.me

I can't wait to dive into this one! Anakin is my favorite Star Wars character and even though I get no joy out of his stunning betrayal and consequent suffering, Vader is SUCH a compelling villain.

First trip to the gym and first time using weights since my surgery in March! 😅

It went great! My unreasonable concern that my guts were gonna spill out all over Crunch Fitness, Kill Bill-style, didn't happen! 😌

I really needed this. 🥹

I'm so bummed to read that a 4th Kelvin Timeline Star Trek film isn't a priority and that they're apparently pivoting to something new.

I love that trilogy and that cast so much 🥹

If this is truly the end for the Kelvin Timeline, at least it ended on a very kick-ass high note 🖖🏼😭🍿

I really miss being fit. I felt better & had much more mental clarity and felt really strong creatively.

These next few months are going to be really hard but it's going to pay off 🙂

After my emergency surgery earlier this year, I had SO MANY physical restrictions (and was in A LOT of pain) so I got up to 303 lbs 😐

I'm 6'3" and have a large frame but the weight is still hard on my knees 🫠

Two weeks ago, I got serious with diet/exercise and so far, I'm down... 11 lbs ☺️

Cathy bought baby gloves (!?) for the little one so she wouldn't scratch her face and all I saw is ⬇️

Been thinking about home lately.

More than ever, I feel in my bones that I've been away for too long and that I need to leave Florida and go home.
