On the advice of Kottke I watched the movie Primer last week. I’m still not sure I get the film (or the exact workings of the time travel it portrays) but I had fun in my confusion. If you were … Continue reading →

Of Malts & Wood
Sometimes you don’t need a reason to celebrate, you just need to raise your glass to the fact that you continue to draw breath and wake up in the morning. Jenn & I have been working on a killer stretch … Continue reading →
Still Sauced
The only real drawback to writing regular hot sauce posts is that it reveals just how much hot sauce – and by extension Firehouse Subs – I’m eating this month. For the second installment, I have to give a shout-out … Continue reading →
Pinning my hopes
I’m sitting on the rooftop (or thereabouts) terrace of a building on campus typing this post on an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard attached. The words are flowing from my fingertips into an app, iA Writer, that magically sends those … Continue reading →
The Hot Sauce Chronicles
I love Firehouse Subs. Toastier than Quiznos. Not as skimpy as Blimpies. Fresher than Subway. I even (almost) got into an altercation with the Labor & Delivery nurse during Imogen’s birth over the quality of sub chains in Atlanta. (She … Continue reading →
The Maopets
Last night The Daily Show aired one of their “Money Talks” segments featuring John Hodgman and the subject of discussion was Fox News’ labeling of The Muppets as “Communist Propaganda”. In the segment Hodgman takes all of Hollywood to task … Continue reading →
It’s Time To Get Things Started!
The rush is over. The show is done. The curtain is closed. Now what? I’m in the lull, the sugar crash, after waiting for almost a year (maybe more) for The Muppets to return to the big screen. I know … Continue reading →

New Jayhawks album, Mockingbird Time, coming in September
The Jayhawks’ Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass both share a special place in my heart and on my iTunes playlists. “Blue” has got to be one of my favorite songs of all time, even the cover version by The Thorns is pretty darn good. The Jayhawks have a brand new album coming [...]

ABC’s Once Upon A Time
So a couple of months back the fine folks at ABC (via Technorati) sent me an email asking if I’d blog about some of their upcoming Fall shows. No doubt I got the email because of my Lost blogging, but it’s nice to be recognized whatever the reason. The edited email is blockquoted at the [...]

Muppet Star Wars figures
I might have to wait until the Fall to purchase the upcoming Muppet Star Wars figures, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pine for them now. After posting a link to the figures on Facebook last week my old friends Erik & Kelly Hess sent me a text of the figures on display at the [...]

Friday Fun: Samurai Karaoke
What do you get when you mix equal parts Tarantino violence, the History Channel and 1990 karaoke of 80′s tunes? Honeysuckle Blues, the promotional piece that, sadly, did not lead to a full feature film for my buddy AJ who plays the katana-wielding main character. Honeysuckle Blues from Jacob Gentry on Vimeo. The whole thing [...]

MetaFilter Muppets
In the week following my first post to MetaFilter, I’ve found a really great Muppet-related post: Hand built Muppet Theatre Playset. I don’t actually blog that much about Muppets here – the blog title is mostly a non-clever URL and a handy username – but Lance Cardinal is the real deal. Check out the Muppet [...]
