Not terrible, I just had some hefty migraines for a few days. Good things are coming, though. We’ve been doing some fun things in the studio.
This week’s episode is the last part of our crossover series with Branden Fisher of Sac’em Up Sundays, which I’ll most likely put up on Friday instead of Thursday. I’m behind on things because of the migraines. And then we have more of our journey through the World of Darkness. Starting next week we’ll start moving that story in more forward style direction.
I interviewed John Horsey the other day but you’ll have to wait until February to see why that’s cool. This Sunday, though, booster draft and review for Ravnica Allegiance. My plan right now is to release our review portion in the podcast, video of the games available through another platform(possibly Patreon), and if you have a few hours free this Sunday you can watch us on twitch.
Fantasy Football Update Week Fifteen
The season’s contest draws closer to its end. The Red Dragons continued to fall short of victory for many weeks now. Spirits low, The Dragons gravenly march on to the next encounter. Approaching the edge of the tree line, The Dragons look out across the battlefield to see familiar faces... in a sense.
The shapeshifters melt into the distant wood and fade from sight. The Red Dragons move carefully and quietly...at first. Thrashing about blindly through the far wood, The Dragons manage to land a precious few hits against the enemy. Drawing into a small advantage early in the battle The Dragons find themselves flummoxed to see the tide of war shift. Gradually the shapeshifters pace forward out of their hiding places, strategically picking targets and one by one, eliminating The Red Dragons.
Kolby’s Name Changers avenged their previous loss to The Level 20 Red Dragons, beating them 151-127.07.
I noticed the other night that I missed posting one week. I’m putting my whole season together and I’ll do something fun with it and when I do that’ll be the only place to find my recaps of ‘every’ week for my 2018 fantasy season. Keep an eye out.
I meant to write last night but fell asleep amidst a considerable migraine. But I’m here now and doing it. Take that how you will.
Starting last night there’s a new comedy open mic at the Watchtower café in SLC. Hosted by my friends Jason Harvey and Natashia Mower, five minute set time, and one of my most favorite places. I’m legitimately happy to have an open mic there again.
This was my first open mic in about seven months and I missed it so much. I totally ate shit but it was still a lot of fun and I learned that my new favorite person is Angry Colby Larson. He had a fantastic set last night railing on doctors and nurses and the whole crowd was rolling! It was a good night and a fun start to my getting off my ass and getting back out to mics and just spending time with my friends again.
I’m excited to do comedy again and maybe this time around I’ll be funny. Only time will tell.
I missed posting yesterday but I’m getting it done today. Not much to write about. Another great life choice by Tim! The second season of The Orville started. I just caught up and I’m digging it.
So far in the first two episodes they haven’t done anything wacky. They’re portraying complex interpersonal relationships in various stages of romantic relationships failing. Of course reminders of my own loneliness are always entertaining.
The second episode shows one of the main characters engaging in various degrees of sex and/or love addiction but then is quick to understand the impetus for these actions and discusses his feelings with his spouse. A great example of the therapy process and personal growth.
The first episode’s story focused on Capt. Mercer’s inability to move past his feelings for Cmdr. Grayson while she’s dating someone else. Another emotional kick in the nuts to which I relate far too well. A repeating occurrence lately is my finding intelligent, strong, independent women who inspire me to be better than I am. And yet they are not available for me to be with them.
In summation, I’m a far greater mess than you thought. In fairness, I don’t know exactly how great a mess you thought I was but I assure you this is just the tip of many...many icebergs.
I was thinking about writing here daily and you may have noticed that I have not. I will start now. I’m going to work out a way to write here everyday. I’ve been seeing some really interesting science articles throughout twitter lately. I will most likely get a mite preachy, and that may be somewhat because I’ve been watching a lot of The West Wing lately, but that’s just how I tend to feel about some things. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
I just need to put the finishing touches on tomorrow’s episode and then I’ll start posting the early download links. I’m reading a lot more downloads. Thanks for that! I’ve been working on other things for you guys to listen to and watch and on the 20th we’ll be drafting the new set for Magic the Gathering, Ravnica Allegiance, and then we’ll be reviewing it on Twitch, maybe afterward I’ll put it on YouTube or something. Ultimately the videos of most of our things will be available through our Patreon page which is now up and running at patreon.com/comedyshedradio. Check it out.
Fantasy Update Week Fourteen
The Red Dragons struggle to regain footing from battle to battle. Many of our warriors fall in conflict. Seeking replacements takes time not so abundant. Each new combatant less experienced and capable than our fallen comrades. The situation grows more and more bleak.
The Dragons face off against the Bears of Poor Tidings once more. Bolstered by their thirst for revenge, the Bears lunge with a ferocity not witnessed since season’s beginning. Their blows proving too powerful for the defenses possessed by The Dragons. Calling forth the ocean’s raptors defenders, The Dragons mount a defense unltimately ineffective. Being their strongest asset The Dragons lack the might to press a formidable attack and fall short of victory once more.
The Level 20 Red Dragons lost to Ang’s Bad News Bears, 176.8-116.47.
