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.

Retelling a story in public since it's been 5 years...

(Who remembers this one? I wanted to share with someone who isn't a member. So here we are:) I'm sure I've other chatlogs I need to post as well . . . but y'know, this one just happened and it led to a good lesson: don't believe...

Ayup.

Hahhhh . . . yo. What's up?

Still alive, been very lazy around these parts, I know. Really need to get back on top of that before someone shitcans me, hey?

Anyway, work got progressively sucky and I need to think more about what sort of job I can actually find with the level of schooling and training I actually have, and that sucks. But I really need to get a move on with that one.

Cons have been good. Sakura-Con was wonderful, Fan Expo was wonderful (shook hands with both Sean Astin AND Brentalfloss), and now we're gearing up for the summer run. Looks like Anime Evolution this month, Cos & Effect in August, and then Penny Arcade Expo during the Labour Day weekend.

Upcoming cosplays SHOULD be . . . Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and maybe even Locke Cole from Final Fantasy VI (this one's been on my list probably since I started cosplaying more than just bakumatsu samurai). As for pre-made things, I imagine Prince Diamond from Sailor Moon will work well for any Masquerade Balls I end up running this summer, and I'm one of the few people still not regretting making Sword Art Online cosplay and will keep wearing that.

Come to think of it, I never shared any pictures from Seattle, did I? Let's see . . .

Our Sailor Moon group (plus a couple outers we found along the way):

Our Sword Art Online group (plus a couple extra folk), ganked from Laura's albums:

And then of course this happened at some point, because I like to climb on shit:

Other than that . . . I guess for sake of posterity, I may as well jot this down here now. If any of y'alls recall what is probably now a 12 year story that I have somewhat mentioned here and there . . . book's closed. Probably for good now, no more scribbling in the margins. Kinda sucks.

And now I must get back to reading Jojo . . . because Jojo.

Dante Basco's coming to Vancouver!!!

Holy shit, Anime Evolution. Well played.

Local con scene just might be getting itself sorted out after all . . . good.

So Long, LucasArts. Thanks for everything.

Guys. I'm sad.

Back Home . . .

Con was really good.

But now I must work all day so I can't pretend to work on updates about it until then.

Also, I totally forgot to get a group photo of the meetup. That was silly.

Ah well. Maybe next year.

Also, death merchants.
