Grand adventure and I'm home from Portland. The only travel is for work and my short film, Mrs Chang's Perfect Teeth had a world premiere at the Portland Horror Festival last night. As I told the audience and programmers, horror knows no borders.

I'm in BC and almost all the liquor on our shelves is Canadian...or any other country that isn't the US. Very happy to be supporting our Canadian distilleries and wineries. 🍷

Tuesday morning work: catching up on reading the cache of screenplays in my inbox. There's definitely a theme here... #grindhousehorror

Today is performance day for us at the School of Rock in Vancouver. It's been a year and a half since I've joined, and this set was our original songs (that we've been writing since January.) Never let anyone say it's too late to get started...on anything. 🤟🖤

Gave my cats their first ever bath in 10 years and it went remarkably well. They smell like fresh coconuts, and drying themselves in the sun. Happy #caturday, everyone! #catsky

Friday night cooking: Atlantic cod in brown butter (and sage from the balcony), asparagus and the first BC nuggets of the season! #foodsky

Day 2 of ADR on our feature film #armageddonroad with our co-lead Natalie Grace, and actors Simon Chin, Dejan Loyola and my producer Kate Kroll (and her hubby Stevan Cvjetkovich)! The end is nigh!

And for your 1970s Tiger Beat dreams come true, my dear friend and actor Willie Aames at our ADR session! #armageddonroad

Day #1 of ADR for my new feature #ArmageddonRoad with my lead actor, Brian McCaig We budgeted 4 hrs but he got 'er done in 2. Woooot!!

Dear Donald, I know you and Vladimir are not in a good mood now but we should talk about this golden dome thing: You demand $61 billion in protection. Lol. Ukrainians used $100 drones to take out $7bil in Russian aircraft Canada could get a way better deal with them. And they are more trustworthy.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Thursday afternoon cat break... #catsky
