Watching haunted house movies for inspo and The Shining is so fucking intimidating.

Met with my DOP re; first draft of the script and it feels amazing to be on the same page this early on.

I’m OK with people knowing this. #lastfourwatched

Settled on a NY resolution: gonna spend a year exploring what I can and can’t put fried onions on.

Having a great work day (rare), the only thing that can bring me down is going online to see the state of the world and oooohhhhhhh no.

Finished the first draft for the short I’m shooting this year, celebrated by making great time on a fog walk.

Vancouver council is back in session today Which means they are once again only providing real-time updates on city business to a single website that's under investigation for child exploitation They've stubbornly defended their approach Which reaches approximately 50 people

Planned to finish a short horror script tonight because I want to shoot this year, but I'm 1/2 way through a strata meeting and this is where the real Horror is.

New 28 Years Later was sick.

I’m on the waitlist for Vancouver Fringe, directly behind “It looks like a bat but isn’t a bat” and I need to make friends with that guy.

Are we all going to have 1500 word essays on Starfleet Academy or what’s the plan?

My wife won this at bingo, idk, feels haunted as hell.

Couldn’t find a decent Golden Globes stream so we’re reheating naan in the fireplace and watching Criterion movies.

Liberal party so pro-business that a tsunami of CSAM won’t get you in trouble.

In Canada, call or email Evan Solomon and demand he do his job as “Minister of AI and Digital innovation” to stop the CSAM and non-consensual porn. X should be banned in this country. 📞 416-972-2030 📧 [email protected]

I made apple raisin cinnamon buns because I needed to avoid screens for, maybe ever?

2025 really was a journey.

Hardly bodes well.

I’m just hoping for two fewer heart surgeries in 2026.

Bringing the new year in proper

My first stop on Criterion is the about-to-leave list and tonight was Ghosts of Mars, for obvious reasons

I just think if we were a serious people, ALL hot sauces would be in the condiment aisle

After their tangled love is revealed, three best friends must survive the violent transformation of their suburban neighbors by an unknown contagion. A body horror/slasher about traumatizing those we care about. #writersky

More experiments.

Went for a 3 hour walk and came home hungry for the first time in a week

Brian-fucking-Lilley.

One Battle After Another is such a heartwarming story of parenting and relentlessly shitting on white supremacists

It’s Christmas

North Van Xmas Market is so much better than Vancouver’s

Next 2 weeks is finishing rewrites and editing, reading 2-3 books, replaying Control, and living deliciously.

Car ripped through a hard red light at Woodland and Broadway. If I hadn’t paused to get around a puddle I’d either be dead or in hospital. Super cool!

Employer sent a fake phishing email promising one-time holiday bonus after years of being unable to keep up with inflation. Seriously debating whether to work the rest of the week before holidays kick in.

Staring at Vancouver sunsets instead of work screens is a better way to live.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Ripley unhappy about the sun.

First draft of my suburban body horror, Growth done at 98 pages. Edits’ll take me to 110, but every film school teacher I had would be giving me a standing ovation for wrapping under 120.

Went to an RMT for the first time and she fucked my arm up (bruised all over) but no more elbow pain for the first time in over a month. Head over heels relishing the transition from pain to sore.

Trying to remember all the bands I discovered while visiting family in Europe in 2003. 16 year-old Mike only brought home Hail To The Thief like an idiot.

Movie theatres forever!

Mid panic attack returning from the groomer and still gorgeous.

Being comfortable enough to share my last four is a better high any FIFA Peace Prize could ever give. #lastfourwatched

More night time experiments.

Feels like “We are strengthening access to prison sentences for young people” would get you laughed out of office, but this is fine?

Apple TV needs to let me mute actors. No scenario where I, sober and of sound mind, would choose to watch a Mark Wahlberg movie.

Shouldn’t judge a place based on its politicians (see; all of BC, all of the time, especially right now) but what a miserable, empty, and unremarkable people Krog and his supporters must be.

Those are rookie numbers.

Call it two heart surgeries, absurd work stress or y’know, everything happening the past year… We deep planning our holidays down to which breakfast gets baked for the morning after each party and I’m so excited to detach from reality.

A dark-haired bearded guy in plaid and a dark-haired bearded guy in a cowichan sweater just tried to figure out if they knew each other from somewhere - in an East Van tap room.

It’s not even 11am and I saw someone dumping a massive blob of ketchup in the centre of a slice of pepperoni pizza. People, we’re better than this.
