BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 20/03/2025One day left before Spring Break (and boy do I need it). I'm planning on staying up late every night to: play #videogames , listen to some #vinyl , and have a cocktail or two. #SpringBreak #spinningvinyl #craftbeer 010
BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Gene Hackman was one of those actors where I immediately think of one movie and say to myself, "That was his best role." Then someone else mentions a different movie, so I think, "Okay THAT was his best role." Then someone else mentions a different movie, and so on. #GeneHackman #RIP 000

BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 13/02/2025One of the main reasons why #BlazingSaddles is one of my all-time favorite movies is because it shows racism to be truly ugly. There is no way someone watching that movie can look at one of the racist characters and say "I wanna be just like that guy." These two on the other hand... 000

BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Randomly had "Haunted" by Poe pop into my head. This is one of those songs that is a beautiful gutpunch. Gets me every damn time.

BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 24/01/2025"I think there's nothing cooler than the person you underestimate that ends up being very intelligent.

BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 22/01/2025He always wanted to be noticed. Even as a kid his parents barely acknowledged him. That was about to change. At the whistle the players huddle up. Bo jumps the rail and sheds his overcoat. The cold is surprising at a sprint. "Shrinkage!" the crowd shouts. Damn it. #microfiction #flashfiction 000
BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 16/01/2025The rain pelted the windshield. She sat there. What now? Nicky's body lay slumped in the back seat. His dark coat mostly hid the blood. She'd waited so long for this to happen. It was done...what now? She put the car in gear and rolled forward into her new freedom. #microfiction #flashfiction 000
BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Recently, I've been a big graphic novel/comic bender (mainly Marvel). I have to admit that my recent readings have cemented Black Widow (Natasha) as my favorite character. This is due to my love of redemption stories, but it's also that she seems so much more human/relatable. #marvel #comics 000
BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 14/01/2025I know it's only mid January, but I'm already thinking about warmer weather, mornings fishing, and summer concerts. May needs to get here. #summertour #fishing #coffee 000

BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Favorite typo of the day. My students are writing about a novel by Tim O'Brien for their final exam. One student accidentally credited him as "Conan O'Brien," which is fantastic. #Conan #teacherlife 020
BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I just finished The Navigator's Children by Tad William. I absolutely loved the book. I genuinely think that Williams does endings better than any other fantasy writer I've encountered (except for Tolkien). A truly enjoyable end to the Osten Ard saga. #LastKingofOstenArd #FantasyBooks 010

BT Hayes @outdoorhaze.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Long weekend coming up, so I think I'll get some solid gaming time in. The question is what game? Black Ops 6 for the double XP?
