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.

Ah, holidays . . . also, I'm on a powerful Disney kick right now. Kinda wanna start buying all the movies up right now. I blame Beauty and the Beast and its awesomeness.
Even though the Beast is kind of a wuss when you think about it.
Not important. Thanksgiving!

Sometimes, you just have to be blunt . . .
Y'know those days where you swear it should really be the next day or the day after already?
That was practically my whole week.
Let's see . . .

Everybody, I'd like to introduce you to a piece of tech that's been with me for many, many years now that today we witness its passing:
This is my clock radio. I got it one Christmas many years ago, whichever year it would have been when I had a bedroom all to myself. Going by that estimate, it was probably when I was eight or ten. Funny enough, I think my family knew I needed one, because that Christmas I actually got two: the sleek black one you see in the photo above with the annoying "fast/slow" time setting design over the more practical "hour/minute" setup most clocks had back then. This was a present from my older brother, and I had just happened to open this one before I opened the one from my mom - that, or I just thought it looked cooler.
So this clock radio has been with me for at least sixteen, seventeen years of my life. Over the course of four different bedrooms, two different moves, this thing has always been on my dresser or night table (depending on what period of bedroom we're talking).
In fact, 5 years ago when I did a tour of my room in the ancestral home (back when I had just moved into it), you can see it there too.
Well, a couple days ago this clock radio died on me. It was counting minutes every couple seconds, and seemed super fritzy. Thus, I feel it is in my interests to move on - I have a brand new clock now with an iPod dock, so that could be fun.
But yeah. So long, clock. You got me out of bed for 2/3ds of my life. Job well done, and thank you . . .
. . . though frankly, I probably won't throw it away any time soon. It'll probably sit somewhere for another year or so first. meh, whatever.
Anyway, yeah. Clock died, got a new one. Memories.
Checked out the Vancouver International Film Festival for the first time the other night. We all had a great curiosity about this one Japanese film called "The Family Complete".
Read this synopsis if you dare . . .
So yeah. There was a whole lotta penis, and there was a whole lotta gay sex. Curiously, not nearly as much giant cat sex as you'd imagine. Nevertheless, it was interesting. Also, the director was in the theater with us, literally the row behind us. That probably restrained us from laughing too hard at certain points. He did a Q&A; really, though, he's just super ballsy for following these film festivals and seeing reactions firsthand. 'Cause damn. But yeah, it was interesting.
And all degrees of fucked up. Just sayin'.
So outside of Japanese pseudo-artsy incestuous gay porno with chubby chasers (there's that aspect too) . . .
. . . made a photo book at work of my group's cosplay since about 2007 onwards. It's pretty nice . . .
. . . my car got $600 more expensive suddenly because a bunch of pieces connected to the timing belt were gimped . . . but, should be ready this Friday . . .
. . . idiot friend in Spain relayed a message to Seattle!friend to me, said she got her replacement passport and is good to go. Also, that I worry too much.
Shocking, I know.
. . . ummm . . . . . . ehh, that's enough for now.
Oh! Also, haircut.
