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.

Damn. They Got Me.

Finally watched Toy Story 3 today.

Cried a little.

Well played, Toy Story, well played.

Whoa . . . Timely.

Two envelopes in my mail today.

One from ICBC, who wants to remind me that I need to renew my car insurance next month.

One from AXA Pacific Insurance, who want to remind me to renew my homeowners' insurance (or whatever it's technically called being that I rent).

Wow. Considering the other day's post, it's almost freaky how that timing worked out. Neato.

A'ight, kiddo, I'll probably be swinging by your work one of these weeks.

Halloween Candy Is Not Filling . . . Ingenious Bastards . . .

I watched the first episode of "The Walking Dead" this afternoon. Holy shit, this is an amazing show.

If you're into zombie what-if scenarios, this is one you're gonna dig. The zombies look great, the story is compelling, and it's all surprisingly emotional. Example: if your loved one turned into a zombie and you KNEW the right thing to do was to put him or her down . . . could you?

I think it's a winner - and really, with its production costs, it can't afford not to be. Also, I need to read this graphic novel.

So yeah. I dig.

Happy Anniversary, Apartment!

It suddenly occurred to me that yesterday was the first time in three years that I didn't have to move on November 1st. Hooray for rooting in just a little bit!

Also occurs to me that my lease is over. Monthly freedom win!

This also reminds me, however, that all the insurance I bought last year probably needs renewing. Lame.

Ah well, I didn't have to move. That's the important thing.

Pon, Pon, Pata Pon...

Patapon pumpkins for the win!

I forgot the headdresses, but ah well. Anyway, night went decently enough. Though now I need to try to cut together some of my ninja routine for you guys . . . it'll be fun.

Also, Ichigo used Patapon in the podcast. That slew me.
