Inside The Terrordome: “Updates”

As the month... and year... and decade!... come to a close, here are some of things happening in The Terrordome: I scrapped a recent plan (and 3 posts) that involved me looking back at the decade's memorable events, 1 day and 1 post at a time.

Night Walk: “Yay, Sunday!”

Sunday, 12:54 AM; some random thoughts on a strangely sleepless night: The song currently playing on Spotify: "Our Remains - For Piano" by Beta Radio. The decision from this post is in: I'm sitting out... but just the first few months, right now. I might be able to save up enough money for a vehicle or … Continue reading Night Walk: “Yay, Sunday!”

Fortnite: “This is the end”

I have not partaken in the Fortnite craze, so this story comes as a surprise. Fortnite is down, and has been down for nearly a day. A Black Hole swallowed it. According to multiple sources, an in-game meteor started acting erratic, early on Sunday. It eventually hit and destroyed the entire map at about 2:00 EST. The … Continue reading Fortnite: “This is the end”

A ‘Borg and a Baritone #27: The Final Post: DCA World Championships

It all came down to a road trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Thursday/Friday Morning Thursday was a logistics morning and afternoon for me: making sure that I had medicine packed, … Continue reading A ‘Borg and a Baritone #27: The Final Post: DCA World Championships

A ‘Borg and Baritone #26: The Final Week

The regular season is over. We (Cincinnati Tradition) had our final rehearsal at Great American Equipment Company, this past Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, we worked mainly on music. The Morning Block was split into Sub-sectionals, where the Baritones and Euphoniums got to directly work with Andrew, the Brass Caption Head. It went really well! We … Continue reading A ‘Borg and Baritone #26: The Final Week

A ‘Borg and an Baritone #25: Foot Issues

A couple of years ago, I wrote about some foot issues that took a few months to get under control and, for the most part, eliminate. They are back, and they brought friends. For the last month or so, I've dealt with increasing levels of pain in my heel (again). For the last few months, … Continue reading A ‘Borg and an Baritone #25: Foot Issues
