My first full outdoor weekend camp was a big success, despite one 'small' moment with Greyhound - and it wasn't their fault, this time! - and some 'small-medium' marching moments! Friday, 5/17 The Greyhound adventures continue. I arrived at Louisville's station about 2:50, walking over after work; bus is supposed to pull out between 3:40 … Continue reading A ‘Borg and a Baritone #18: “Drill”
From Facebook, the "Did You Know" app is stuck on most of our Profile pages. Rather than answer the questions in the app, I'll scroll through a bunch of the questions and answer some of them here. The video game I can play for hours: World of Warcraft. I don't have nearly the free time this summer … Continue reading Did You Know…?
Greyhound didn't screw up a rehearsal trip(!!), I got my first taste of The Proving Grounds, and the opener is on the field! More after a word from these not-sponsors; I have to calm the feet down. 😉 6 years. 6 long years. That's the amount of time it's been since I stepped onto a … Continue reading A ‘Borg and a Baritone #17: “The Proving Grounds!”
The Elric brothers arrive in the mining town of Xenotime and begin their search of the town for the Philosopher's Stone. There is a shout in the distance: a little girl is trapped under a steel beam, at the entrance to some mines. Miners, including her dad, can't free her, but Ed manages it, via … Continue reading “Fullmetal Alchemist”, Episode 11
5 and a half months. It's hard to believe that I joined the Cincinnati Tradition Drum & Bugle Corps that long ago. And now, the Summer season starts this Saturday, with our first performance in 6 weeks! I've really enjoyed the 1st half of the season with CT, so far! I've learned (and relearned) a … Continue reading A Borg and a Baritone #16: “The Training Wheels Are Off”
This post from 2017 came about after a conversation with 2 of my best friends, regarding the NHL Playoffs. I had enjoyed that year's NHL Playoffs much more than the NBA Playoffs. Fast forward to 2019. While I simply haven't had time to watch much of either playoffs, I have found the NHL games I … Continue reading From The Archives: NHL vs. NBA Playoffs
A fun fact that I found out last night: the voices of 'Lust' and 'Roy Mustang' are provided by voice actors (and "Critical Role" cast members) Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham. Awesome! A quick recap/review: Edward ("Ed") and Alphonse ("Al") Elric are Alchemists: people that use a mix of Science and Magic to Transmute objects … Continue reading “Fullmetal Alchemist”, Episodes 9-10
I made some slight changes to the schedule of when the reviews of the 1st 20 episodes would be posted - LINK. Episode 8: The Philosopher's Stone If the shock value of the last few minutes of Episode 7 didn't provide enough of a scar, the pre-intro of Episode 8 cut that wound right … Continue reading “Fullmetal Alchemist”, Episode #8
This is a joint review of the "Fullmetal Alchemist" series (not the 'Brotherhood' series) on my page and on the "Comicdom Wrecks" page, under the "Saturday Morning Cartoon" feature. Episodes 1-3 are on my page; 4 and 5 are on Comicdom Wrecks. Episode 6: The Alchemy Exam The pre-Intro portion of this episode was pretty … Continue reading “Fullmetal Alchemist”, Episodes 6-7
I'm trying something different with this post: I recorded a live video (actually, a few video clips, stitched together)! I wanted to get out of a Comfort Zone by talking in front of a camera. This is my first attempt at a video blog post, so bear with me. 😉 I'll also recap a few … Continue reading A ‘Borg and a Baritone #15: “Vlog”
