  • What I’ve Been Doing 16 Dec 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Thanks to a snowstorm Katie, Min, Lee, and I got to play some Left 4 Dead. I’d forgotten how sharp that game’s design was! Movies Nein. TV The Amazing Race – I was spot on with my predictions last week. Super fun episode and, surprisingly, Tim and Marie ended up my favorite racers by the […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Broke the seal on baseball season this week by attending my first game. Marlins at Nats. Of course Miami lost, but it’s the experience that makes it all feel right. Movies Looper – Best line: “I don’t want to talk about time travel shit. Because if we talk about it, then we’re gonna be here […]

  • Everything That’s Old is New Again [WMQ]

    Everyone’s thinking “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” right about now, but I still can’t help but feel so betrayed. You don’t really get to pick the teams you love. I mean, you do, obviously, but at the same time what rational human being would continue to love a team like the Marlins? Two World […]

  • Travis Touchdown – What I’ve Been Doing 25 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Last week felt super long! Thank god it’s all over. At least I enjoyed myself plenty. Week two of the swimming experiment continued as well, reminding me of how woefully out of shape I am. Glad to have seen Kai again too. It’s a bummer that she no longer has work/business in Baltimore. Movies Prometheus […]

  • “Did I fall asleep?” – What I’ve Been Doing 18 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    In a weekend full of grief over some terrible Marlins losses thanks to anemic offenses I finally got around to finishing Dollhouse… Movies Indie Game: The Movie – Steam’s first movie! I didn’t kickstart it, but I was more than happy to support it post-release. It’s not super informative if you don’t already know a […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 23 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It was a nice, lazy, fun weekend full of baseball, movies, and video games. Who could complain? Movies The Cabin in the Woods – If you think for a second you want to see this movie, you probably shouldn’t read anything about it. Those of you who don’t, well I thought it was an interesting […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 9 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Baseball. It signals the end of winter. Guess what, guys? Winter is GONE! The Marlins are off to a rocky start (1-3), but they’re still looking pretty good and, in the past two games, playing pretty well too. I really hope this season is better than the last, but, either way, at least baseball has […]

  • June: The Streak [Fukubukuro 2011]

    When your favorite baseball team is in its final year of its current incarnation and ready to change its name, stadium, logo, and identity, you want to pay attention. When they’re the dark horse contender for the wild card in the pre-season, it thrills you to your core. Then June happens. For a little more […]

  • The MLB Season is (Essentially) Over For Me [WMQ]

    It’s not completely over, since I will still watch games in the playoffs and the World Series, but for the teams that I truly care about the season is over. The Rays lost to Texas 4-3 this afternoon, but I’m not gonna mope. Instead I’m gonna talk about what this season meant to me. As […]

  • Evan Longoria and An Amazing Night of Baseball [WMQ]

    What an amazing night! Wow, that was fantastic! I was just on the edge of my seat all last night… My evening began with the final Marlins game of the year against the Nats. It was the end of an era, really. The Florida Marlins are technically no more (they’re officially no more on 11 […]
