Welcome to my world.
I'm SomeGuy, 29 years old, residing in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I've studied English Literature, Chinese Martial Arts, and am currently pursuing careers in writing - possibly even in the anime industry itself.
And I work for this site.
And you should be watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.
Or watching Ranma 1/2.
Or learning about the Shinsengumi.
Or planning to visit Vancouver, The Best Place On Earth (actual marketing motto).
Here at the "Smallville" page, I have my personal blog where I'll post about anything and everything. If ya need me or otherwise need to know anything from/about me, here's where I'll be.
If you're really looking for my more professional, site-type stuff, you wanna head over my "Metropolis" world.

The aniki's goin' on vacation somewhere where he doesn't know (his girlfriend set it up). In any case, they needed someone to mind their house and their dog.
So I'll be living in my brother's house for the next few days. He's got internet so I'll still be able to keep up with my work here (which I'm slacking on), and . . . I'll probably just be doing a lot of that, trying my best to make sure the dog doesn't crap on the floors or anything . . . yeah, should be fun.
In other news, I think my [email protected] e-mail's been conked out all week. This could prove disastrous if people from Sakura-Con actually tried to contact me this week. Eep.
Other than that, I had a nice little meeting with 9 of the other Shinsengumi cosplay people yesterday. Lunch, traded photos and epic marching music (got that filed away online somewhere . . . bwahaha), and just planned for the future in general.
They all loved the "Shinsengumi At Sakura-Con" write-up, too, so yay!
In general, we just talked about needing more wakizashi, acquiring one or two wooden naginata, how many more haori we need to make, future cons we wanna hit . . . yeah, we're turning into something monstrous.
We need to make a Shinsengumi World here . . . I need to get one of them to get an account here . . .
Whatever.
That's all for now. See ya next time from my brother's place!
"Konme" of our Shinsengumi group put up a video of us dicking around that second night of Sakura-Con:

I totally love it.
Anyway, I've got one video I just need to finish off and the upload; still have a couple things I need to write as well.
And now, seems I've gotta redo my Shinsengumi brief history thing as well for posterity's sake - and y'know, I'm fine with that.
Anyway, tonight my kung-fu club's got an anniversary dinner or something, I think - 11 lions! So yeah, I might not be online tonight much either - sorry guys! I know I've been neglecting you all!
A'ight, so the FUNimation Industry Panel write-up is done. Check.
Next is Brina Palencia and Todd Haberkorn, and then my full "summary" report . . . and then . . . oh! A Shinsengumi cosplay report!!! Yahhh . . . there we go!
I'm still trying to decide how to write my overall report, 'cause my usual style is to document everything from the moment I leave my house to the time I get back to my house. I almost feel like I should write the "professional" summary and the "casual" one with all the stories about hotel rooms and stuff . . . somethin' to figure out, I guess.
So that's that.
And for all you other people . . . Cung Le and Frank Shamrock are MMA fighters for the Strikeforce franchise. I was discussing a title fight they had recently. It was an awesome fight.
Definitely have a buttload of articles to write today. Here's hoping I can get through at least one or two . . . whether they go to official theO World or "Metropolis", I don't know at this point. But we'll see what happens . . .
In other news, it turns out Cung Le beat Frank Shamrock on the 29th - Le broke Shamrock's arm with a kick at the end of the 3rd round, Shamrock couldn't continue into the 4th. That's pretty wild and cool.
Been back since early evening yesterday and I've got a lotta work to do now that I'm back. I just posted a novel over on the Watercooler (that I marked for publication in case people think it might be useful for posterity), and now . . . I think I'm gonna go to bed.
So before the big long list of articles, I'll just leave these few bits that I found interesting about the weekend:
- Batou has the same eye tic as I do.
- No one in Seattle has ever played "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune".
- Even though I know it's not, I'll still buy a "battle ready" katana because I'll feel bad for buying just the stainless steel show one (the fact that it's the Kensei sword is besides the point, really . . .)
- Border guard decided to use "weapons" instead of "firearms, etc." during questioning - that threw me off.
- Gail and John are like, the BIGGEST geeks ever and I love them. They hate "Baki the Grappler", though.
- Adam took care of a bunch of Fan Words while I was gone, so he's awesome.
- Brina Palencia kicks serious ass. Seriously.
I'll write more later. In any case, I'm back home, I'm safe, and I'm sorry I didn't come online last night. You know how it is . . .
. . . oh yeah, and Vic Mignogna's retiring in May.
