July 20th,2005

Well............only two days back from mid-season hiatus and already off with a bang!! Monday was full of action on set............pretty much every cast member was involved...............a very hot day in the out-out-outskirts of Vancouver. It was great to see everybody again. We all get along so well, on and off set, its just a good time out there. At this point I can't really mention what we were doing but...................I did see a quite entertaining film at the end of that day. Yes, you guessed it, "The Wedding Crashers". It seemed like the right thing to do, after Joe had mentioned it on his Blog so..............whatever. Not the genre of flick that I usually go for but, my friend wanted to check it out. Yes............laugh I did!! Full of wit, it was. Does that read as if Yoda were speaking? Nevermind. It's now very late on Tuesday eve and I have just returned from the post training meal. Jamaican food was the choice tonight. They play great music at this little place on Main and 26th called "The Reef", in addition to serving some pretty authentic Jamaican eats. I got lucky at the gym tonight as none of the other fighters seemed to be able to hit me in the head! LOL!! Quite a contrast from last entry when I was quite sure about my brain being jarred! This weekend there is a fight card, outdoors on the 23rd of July. It's all stand-up fights, and some of the fighters from the gym are competing. I will be attending for sure. It seems as though my style of writing, now that I am taking a second to look at it, just rambles. Oh well, they told me to write about whatever...............so you are getting whatever. Again with the "no grammar" thing...........I know. I was an English major in school so..........I'm taking a break! The team in the production office all looked very positive today as everyone appears to be in the full swing of things already. Peter Deluise is getting into great shape, by the way. Every time that I see him, there is less of him. It must be from chasing around his son on the hiatus. I screened one of our upcoming episodes today in the office (not mentioning which one), and was floored. It looked fantastic! Impressive on all levels. I like to randomly check out our finished product every week or two, just to compare what we are doing with what we have done. I am interested to hear the feedback from the fans on this one. Presently we are prepping an episode directed by Andy Mikita that starts shooting on Thursday of this week, so things are busy as usual around there. Peter is prepping the next SG1 episode at the same time as Andy's Atlantis episode. I got a couple of laughs from crew members about this blog today...................Actually David, one of the webmasters here at Gateworld, gave me a great phone message regarding this thing as well. It was hard to understand because he was laughing so much, but I got the idea. As long as someone is happy..........hey, what's a blog?

I am glad you enjoyed Wedding Crashers. Parts were actually filmed in my hometown. (Anything that was supposedly "on the shore")

I'll have to remember to be more solemn the next time I leave YOU a message :P

Thanks for the info about The Reef. I may have to look into it at the next convention up there. Since a lot of the readers of your blog occasionally attend Stargate conventions up in Vancouver, keep recommending good restaurants!

Your "Web Log" is very funny! I love hearing stories about how everyone gets along so well. It just makes the show that much better for me! And another thing, you keep denying that you are related to Joe but now you are talking about food in your log!! lol Now I will get hungry when I read your stuff too. Next you'll be saying how you love anime!
I might have to see the Wedding Crashers if it is full of wit. That is so cooool that Peter is getting smaller! Thanks for the laughs.

I like the "brain dump" style. No need for more food in your blog - Joe Malozzi is already making us fat with all his ice cream.

When you watch a movie, do you 'watch it' or once a stunt scene appears do you start dissecting how the stunts are done? What's your favorite film because of its stuntwork or favorite stunt scene from a film?

Thanks for blogging!

hi Bambam! Can you discuss the process you went through in training Rachel to be a gung-ho fighter? Her quirks, etc, and what part of your style became hers in one of your future entries?

peace!

Bambam, can you please update your picture. You don't look like that anymore. You keep getting better looking as time goes by!
