WES ANDERSON FACETIMING A FRIEND: Hey, buddy, I’ll be over soon. I just stopped by the grocery store to pick up snacks, and…. Dang. I hit the wrong button on my phone and just published this entire conversation to the Criterion Collection.
When the destined hero in a story tries to reject their fate, we should stop calling it Resisting the Call and start calling it Aangziety.
Posted to my blog about some of my more significant reads from 2023: jeffinthebowtie.com/2024/01/10/202…
Instagram is wild: Here’s seven slides that help you understand your own brain in a way that retroactively makes all your childhood trauma make sense. Slide #8 is a pair if socks with googly eyes. (For sale.)
I got 2000 knives, but what I need are some spoons.
Who dares call this sour gum Tear Jerker? I’ve been chewing it for half an hour and I’m barely even melancholy!
My wife, recovering from dental surgery, is currently a one-person shadowcast for The Chipmunk Adventure.
The “I’m driven to create a supportive space for my autistic students for some reason” to “holy shit, I’m incredibly autistic” pipeline.
ME: The IT storage closet is spying on me again. THERAPIST: For the last time, that’s just projection!
Just closed a show and I’m a little bummed no one came to review it.
If you were the type of kid that got excited to buy school supplies at the end of each summer I regret to inform you that you have a PhD now.
The “Write a Fantasy Story of Any Length without Mentioning Slide Rules” Challenge. (Never attempted.)
Reading A Local Habitation while giving blood and can’t shake the feeling that Toby will *notice*! @seananmcguire
The Jeffrey Villines “Lead a Single Pedagogy Advice Session without Mentioning Zach Morris” Challenge. (Rating: Impossible)
My main complaint with Microsoft Teams is I can’t move the preview window to just under the camera. How am I supposed to regulate my facial expressions AND simulate eye contact!?!?
Great review for the play I just closed. Endlessly chuffed that it called out, however briefly, my voice-acting work, which a I’m quite proud of! broadwayworld.com/houston/articl…
These are not contradictory positions: -a 4 year college degree should not be a prerequisite to obtain a stable, living wage job; -robustly funded public higher ed is an important public good that can facilitate humanistic inquiry and not just job training or nation worship.

One of the great pleasures of realizing that I would write many scripts in my life was the revelation that each individual one didn’t need to mean everything.
It’s my milestone birthday. First thing I did was go out to my private pool. Spotted a scarab beetle (the insect of life who is one of the only insects to navigate their world by the stars) struggling in the water. I fished it out. A good start to this next half of the journey.😊
No, $5k for a 2 night experience was “Difficult To Explain to your Spouse, Bank Account, and Self Respect” “It’s a long weekend, right?” “No, not really.” “OK well then at least everything is included, like drinks.” “Also no.” “The rooms must be amazing.” “They’re fine.”
D’Amaro: Galactic Starcruiser Was “Difficult To Explain to the Public”, New Experiences In The Works blogmickey.com/2024/04/damaro…
The moment where Ford slowly pushes the boy's pointing arm down is so rich with meaning, all expressed without dialogue. (Def made it tough on me reimagining it for audio, but I enjoyed the challenge)
This led to some incredible sequences: the little boy Samuel eluding the killers in the bathroom, the legendary barn raising. The scene where Samuel recognizes the real killer in the police station trophy case - and Ford realizing the implications - is nothing short of genius.
Writers don't get enough respect, especially from writers, who look at ASTEROID CITY and look at AIR and decide the sop to the genius of Nike pitchmen is the better piece of writing.

mickey mouse being the main villain of shrek 5 would be the most iconic crossover moment in animation history. 🤷
The original Mickey Mouse is now in public domain.
This was peak mickey. Before he was a brand mascot, he was a character. And that character was a fucked up rodent that enjoys kicking baby pigs, throwing cats around the room, and killing birds.
I just realized I might be the only person doing a Mickey Mouse anything that's not, "Yeah, now I can twist or mock the character."
families of academics probably think they’re real assholes. “pls do not interrupt me when i’m staring into space because i’ll lose my train of thought and never get it back again” probably does not sound reasonable to anyone
working on my dissertation often looks like i’m just staring into space, which makes it difficult to distinguish, from the outside, from when i’m actually just staring into space
My take: Gatwa and Gibson are instant supernova great, the episode around them was a bit mid. (Maybe revelations about the mysterious mother will retroactively make it better.) But god, I’m ready to watch those two for 10 years.
Also, this is why sharp knives are important, because if you do cut yourself it doesn't hurt as much and will heal a lot faster.
