SomeGuy: Smallville

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.

Seattle, here we come . . .

Just doing the last of my packing now. And maaan, costumes really mess up luggage-layout, y'know?

Here's hoping I don't forget anything . . . or anyone. Still, the plan is sound, everything should work . . . so we'll see what happens.

I'll probably post one last time over at the Conventionist before heading to bed. Rest of ya, have a good weekend and hold down the fort; Bossman, take care of Fan Words for the weekend if you'd like, otherwise I'll do it all 500 submissions when I get back.

See ya Tuesday, guys. Don't die while I'm gone.

Only one more sleep before the convention trip!

Alright, checklist of things to do today:

Go to mall, check for the following:
- The third "Black Mages" album
- "AAA" batteries for mp3 player speakers
- A large quantity of "nice" Pocky for con' meet-up, maybe some juice and cups
- Small notebook, possibly with fake-leather cover for effect
- Small thing of hair gel (or borrow from brother)
- Possibly a wider brown belt for Nathan Drake cosplay
Double-check batteries, make sure they're not dead
Touch up golf tube saya, perhaps add cheap versions of kurigata and sageo to them
Request passport from safe - evidently, we have a safe
E-mail Gail, tell her when I'll be arriving in Seattle
Re-confirm with all my car people about plans for tomorrow
Re-confirm with stupid Ed about plans for meeting with him
Pack
Sleep

Am I forgetting anything?

In other news, I saw the Japanese "One Missed Call". It was a'ight - I'm still working out the ending, but I liked it for the most part.

So that's that.

EDIT: Oh! Gifts! Need to pick some stuff up for certain peoples! There we go!

EDIT 2: Oh shoot! Gotta go to the costume store and check in about masks too!!! Aha!!

Random frightening thought . . .

I generally check the Fan Word submissions about two or three times a day: once in the morning, and again in the late afternoon or evening. Sometimes I get bored and just check now and then for kicks, but generally that's about how often I check 'em.

Every day there's usually about twenty or thirty Fan Word submissions.

(Now here's the kicker . . .)

. . . come this Thursday, I'm gonna be out of town for about five days.

I am not looking forward to the pile of submissions I'll need to go through when I get back from Seattle . . . . . haha.

Yeah, all yours, Bossman.

Curious turn of events . . .

Huh . . . evidently, "Pein" can make it to Sakura-Con after all . . . this is, of course, after I've already cancelled the hotel room . . .

I'm sure it'll be fine, though - just gotta work around some things . . . yeahhhh . . .

In other news, I find it interesting as to how much Tenten fanfic people write. I had no idea she was such a popular character for fanfic . . . maybe it's just been a coincidence?

Away from theO . . . my brother totally got hooked on "Afro Samurai". He finished it early afternoon, was watching special features mid-afternoon . . . and by late-afternoon he was playing NHL 2008 with his iPod playing the Afro Samurai OST.

And I didn't have to influence him to watch it whatsoever the whole time. And that's just awesome.

Oh, and I ground that white shirt into my backyard, wiping mud/grass/crap all in and over it. Then I wiped the brick walkway a little bit around the planters. It's still in the backyard, hanging off the patio table - let's hope the stains set in nice and strong, so when I actually DO wash it (so as to not actually have to wear mud/grass/crap at the con') the colours remain.

The things we try, huh?

. . . oh, and it's Easter Sunday now . . . when the heck did that happen?

(You don't need to answer that.)

EDIT: Brought the shirt in from outside just now:

I can only laugh, really . . . smells like outside, though . . .

Holy crap, Sakura-Con meet-up just might work!

I'm excited. I'm really excited. Things are starting to all fall into place. All we need now . . . are some more members knowing that we have a meet-up going on at all . . . Just put a big shiny link on the front page for people to...
