I’m just surprised Trump approved funds to help the disaster declaration.

They’re charging a fortune for a tiny piece of chocolate, so now I’m glad I held off.

It feels good to have the two younger directors that have been criticizing me take a moment to acknowledge I’m a good band director that knows what I’m doing.

I am playing Bloodborne for the first time and I just found the executioner in Yarnham. I will kill him before I progress the game further. I already got him down to one hit left three times. #gaming #Bloodborne

Today was an example of why you don’t give up. My Spanish speaking 7th grader was finally able to read and play up to five notes on her saxophone today. That’s a great lesson to end my day on. #BandDirector

I’m only playing quick play for a while because ranked is a mad house right now. #MarvelRivals

@thebanddirector.bsky.social what is your “ok this isn’t a band kid and I should help them exit.” criteria? I just had a 6th grader in tears that has been “trying to drop” and I finally asked my principal if I can do a dont recommend they continue drop. She hasn’t retained a thing in two years now.

I’ve always been a fan of Dark City. I can’t really explain why.

It’s ranked Saturday on #MarvelRivals today I crossed from gold to plat 3 in just two games.

Sam Vimes @atuinturtle.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Another rank climbed in #MarvelRivals because it’s competitive Saturday. I just hit gold 1 mainly because I refused to surrender on a domination map. We got hammered the first round and we wrecked shop the next two. We had two surrender requests.

I really hope the new #NintendoSwitch has the rest of the Fromsoft games that are related to #DarkSouls . I had a blast with Dark Souls Remasteredand would like to try the sequels and Sekiro.

It’s ranked play Saturday on #MarvelRivals again today. I just hit gold 2 and today actually felt easier than normal had a draw on my first game because one of us disconnected but otherwise all wins today. I could hit diamond before end of season. Gotta love #RocketRaccoon

Another Saturday another rank climbed in #MarvelRivals . I am now gold 3 and still only playing competitive one day a week. I don’t get greedy, and after I get my rank I stop.

If your band receives a Superior rating, celebrate your band. If your band receives an Excellent rating, celebrate your band. If your band receives a Good rating, celebrate your band. If your band showed up… If your band worked… If your band grew… If your band performed… Celebrate your band.

Another Saturday another rank climbed. I’m now silver 1 in #MarvelRivals I only play competitive on Saturdays so climbing a rank one day a week feels pretty good.

Just hit silver 2 after my 4th day of playing comp. About five total hours in comp now. #MarvelRivals

Band director confession time. I never listen to concert band or classical music for enjoyment. I will listen to jazz, but I mostly listen to Lawrence, Lake Street Dive, and Tiny Desk Concerts. #BandDirector #MusicEducation

I only play comp one day a week. Four days, four hours, and I’m out of bronze I’m still getting a lot of points for wins so the algorithm thinks I should be much higher. #MarvelRivals

Sam Vimes @atuinturtle.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

I’m just glad I reached bronze 1 in a few hours going solo queue. It’s tough out there.

Two saturdays, about 3 total hours, I have reached bronze 1 in Marvel Rivals. I’m just taking my time and trying to learn all roles so I can be the most useful to my teams. #MarvelRivals

I don’t know if you are a gamer or a reader, but Portal is out on Nintendo Switch, and there’s a really great book series called Dungeon Crawler Carl that I started. Great for sick days.

@thebanddirector.bsky.social it’s amazing how you can have a good day and a bad last hour can wreck the whole thing.
