Host:

Welcome to another edition of Unexplained Phenomena.  I'm your host, Patrick Duffy.  Tonight, we look a singular phenomena that, unlike many of the others we investigate, is peculiar, not because there have been witnesses, but just the opposite.

Once a prominent explorer and adventurer, Shizuka Yanagi has made a career of delving into the ( Read more... )

Wow.  I'm surprised how many positive responses I got for the Hard to Shop For 3 trailer.  Where were you guys when this film premiered?

Anyway, not everyone had kind words for the movie.  Here's an ad for the movie that we circulated in newspapers.  Now, I know that you're supposed to quote positive reviews in an ad, but, trust me on this, these ( Read more... )

You know, before I got really big into the part-time adventuring thing, I was making a bit of money as a film actor.  Unfortunately, the only movies I did were in this series of cheezy Christmas action flicks, called "Hard to Shop For."  They never did very well.  I think the movies sold about five copies each (at a flea market, and I'm sure the ( Read more... )

Recently, I've been too busy (what with finding a new job, trying to make ends meet, getting Aki's car fixed more than once) to think about writing a novel this month.  Yet, last night, I found myself in front of the lappy here, writing down a story I had churning in the ethers for a while.  As of last night, my word count is 800-something (whereas ( Read more... )

By the way, if you don't own the Zombies! board game, you should get it.  I'm not kidding, here.  Get it.

Happy birthday, Beau.  I've been so busy looking for a new job that I don't check LJ as much as I used to.  I hope you had a good time.

Yes, the Autumnal Equinox has arrived.  Fall is upon us...

So, why is it still 90 degrees outside?

To be honest, it doesn't feel like autumn.  I mean, we had about a week of cooler weather before, which was great, but that gave way to summer's glaring heat and nasty humidity.  It's like summer is this lazy ass bastard who doesn't want to give up the ( Read more... )

I want to wish a splendiferous  birthday to two friends of mine.  Misty, even though you're in Iowa and I'm not, I hope you enjoy your birthday.  You all are growing up so fast out there.  I can hardly believe my eyes.  Enjoy yourself and happy birthday ( Read more... )
