Did you hear...
... all the buzz about this years Gemini Award winners that were announced last night?!!?
Yeah, me neither.
I like international co-productions. I love stories about other countries and cultures. I love those stories when they're well-told by Canadians... or anybody else!
It's not that I think shows like The Tudors or The Borgias are bad... I think they're great. They give lots of Canadian Film Service Providers lots of work.
I just don't think they should be eligible for a Gemini Award for best Canadian program.

Hiccups II Season Finale
For those of you who missed last Sunday's season finale of Hiccups! Never fear you can catch it on Comedy this week... or online.
P.S. This episode was written by yours truly and the talented Dylan Wertz.

One hand log rolls the other...
I feel like George Costanza in the middle of his two colliding worlds.
I'm a television writer... but I have an alter-ego that demands his own website.
I have for a long while used an alias for this guy... but it just got too darned complicated.
So here you go:
if you're looking for Dave Moses, Mind Reader/Thought Plucker/Spoon Bender/Mesmerizing guy... go to his website.
DaveMoses.ca
But let's not kid ourselves about who's paying the bills!
And now, instead of letting me just minding my own business, I've got to maintain two websites now, when I barely had to maintain one before just to keep up appearances!
Bother.

Robson Arms has left the building.
Tonight the final episode of the series airs.
It's been an amazing experience.
Susin Nielsen and I have been talking like a couple of parents worrying over their kids.
We're pretty happy, although all the characters' lives are up in the air our feeling is: everybody's gonna be okay.
Is it weird to worry about the fates of fictional characters that we create?
Absolutely, yes.
Last one out turn off the lights.

Feeding the Writer in Banff!... Dave's Yes/No Restaurant Review
Chicken Wings at the St. James Gate: Yes!
Chicken Wings at the Rundle Lounge of the Banff Springs Hotel: No!
Delegate Breakfast: No... (I had to wrestle a fellow delegate for half a bagel!)
Breakfast at McDonald's: No... the labour shortage is so bad in Banff you'll arrive at 10am for your Egg McMuffin, finally get to the front counter at 11am only to be told they've stopped serving breakfast. Grrrrrrrrrr. Daddy needs his Bacon and Egg Bagel!
Chicken Souvlaki at El Toro: Yes!... A delicious meal with the fantastic folks from Omnifilm! Don't let the schizo menu and cafeteria style furniture fool you. The food (mostly Greek with a little French and Spanish??? thrown in) was delicious.
The Maple Leaf Grill: Yes! The best restaurant of the trip. I dined on Steak upstairs with the great poeple from Ocean Entertainment, while, downstairs, Omnifilm wined and dined broadcasters at their No Pitch Dinner. Classy!
The Elk and Oarsmen: Nookay. (although I had an awesome evening with all the people from the showrunner program and plus I got to sit next to Christine Shipton for the first two courses!) the bison steak was fine but the desserts (of which I sampled plenty) and the appetizers (of which I had one, an endive salad) tasted like they were prepared a few days earlier.
Raisin Bran from the Husky Gas Station across the street: No. But that was only because the best before date had long since passed. Which is more than I can say for my.... never mind.
