Why are all the worst songs also the longest songs?

When we were filming Battlestar I would sneak up behind Jen Halley (Seelix) & sing the opening to either ‘you had a bad day’ or ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’. She’d scream I HATE YOU! & run away. In her head all day. Good times….

Very early in BSG filming I found a screw on the floor. I picked it up & walked over to @nickiclyne who was talking to Michael Rymer, the director. I quietly put it in her hand. We passed that screw back & forth for 3 seasons. I miss screwing with Cally

We filmed the Algae Planet eps in Kamloops BC. My best friend since high school, Jason, lives there & I got production to hire him as an extra. I took him out w/ cast/crew for a late late night. He had a 5 am call the next day. Ha! He’s still mad at me for it. @Lumley71

They called him ‘Hollywood’ for months at work. & he was a prison guard at the time. 🤣🤣🤣

Lumley drove us from the hotel to the bars downtown. He had the top off his Jeep & we piled about 11 actors & crew into it for the drive. I stood on the bumper, holding the crash bar w/ another unnamed actor.

In Lay Down Your Burdens Part 1. Cally startles a passed out Chief awake on the Hangar Deck. Chief wakes up swinging. After one take I looked at Nicki & she was crying “you…. hit… me”. I had accidentally clipped her in the heat of the moment. Still sorry little girl. ;-)

A story about Mary. Late in the show we had a scene where Chief was pleading w/ President Roslin to spare Boomer’s life while in Adama’s quarters. Roslin kept saying no. Mary is such an amazing actor that I, Aaron, started subconsciously feeling that Mary was upset with me. 1/2

After one really heavy take I paused. Amid the bustle of the crew Mary could see it & caught my eye. She softly said “Aaron honey…. I love you.” & smiled. I snapped out of it, my heart melted & I cried a little. She got it, & me. But Roslin was still a bitch to Chief. 😉 2/2

Earlier on in filming we found ourselves on a planet w/ many characters. Roslin & Billy being two. I’ve known @ThePaulCampbell for many years & he’s one of the funniest men I know. Well Mary made the mistake of telling Paul & I that she was going to the horse track on the wknd.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) February 14, 2018
Mary asked us about betting, secrets to, what to look for in a horse, etc. Paul & I landed on ‘pick by name’ right away. It was then 2 hours of naming shitty/great horses that stopped production because Mary was laughing too hard to breathe. Wins By a Nose-Bet it hard.

Glue Factory-Stay away from it Mary. Always Comes In Second-Nope. Jockey Tosser-Forget it. Built For Comfort-Never. Never Loses-Sure Mare, take a look. Botton Of The Podium-Bet to show Mary. We had dozens more hey Pauly? With the cool nasal’y track guy voice too.

Paul Campbell (ThePaulCampbell) February 14, 2018
Still one of my all-time favorite days on set. It was the pairings that killed me. “Guaranteed to Win” against “Hopelessly Crippled” – and “Beaten By A Nose” running against “A Nose.” Still laughing, buddy.

Below is the message Aaron posted on THE CHIEF’S DECK to announce that he is on twitter.

Never Say NEVER

Ok fine….. I will take all of the abuse about to come my way….

But surely you’re on Twitter now? I will never use Twitter. This incessant need for constant updates and information on the minutiae of people’s lives staggers me. I have no idea why people would want to know that “Aaron just walked into his trailer and he’s about to have lunch on set.”

I am now on Twitter. My reversal in this decision actually comes from a conversation I had with Brad on his bus when he was playing MSG. Brad Twitters and does so to let his fans know about upcoming appearances, last minute changes to his schedule, release dates of things, etc…. He feels it is a very effective tool to keep his fans informed.

I have Michelle for that and she does a tremendous job.

I have decided to follow Brad into the land of Twitter not to tell everyone that I am going to the kitchen to get an apple, am walking in the rain or just fell down the stairs (although I am sure a few of you would really like the last one), I am going to use Twitter for last minute items that come up. Michelle will always get information first and I know she will post it here but there will be some things that people do not have the time or access to the internet to get. This is how I will use Twitter.

ex. If I am at a con and running late to my table or a Q&A, I will post that. If I run into someone and have a conversation that you might find interesting, I will post that. Basically all the things that come up with short notice…. that and to s#%t bag Wil Wheaton…..

So yes, never say never.

Having said that, all those people who post EVERY BLOODY LITTLE THING are still douchey….

Let the hammering of me begin…..
