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.

Finally watched Avatar front to back . . .

Yeah, story went exactly the way I figured it would. Pretty, though. Not particularly original, but enjoyable. Also, there's a dude over at 100things who totally up-voted all his own learnings. That's amusing and sad all at once. Don't ...

Meanwhile, over in Movieland . . .

Iron Man 2 was NOT that bad! What the hell, internets?

Ups and Downs in a Day . . .

How my day started:

I may have eaten a muffin with mold on it. I definitely ate a muffin, in any case; I just didn't think to figure that weird smell/taste may have been mold until it was far, far too late. This fear of poisoning myself continued with me for the rest of the day.

How my day ended:

Mail package against my door as I came home; MY BRENTALFLOSS CD HAS ARRIVED!!! This makes me super happy.

And in about five minutes, I'll be watching Deadliest Warrior. All in all, not a bad day.

AHHH! CASTLE!!!!!!!

First, a recap of last time:

Ah, Beckett!!!!

And now, this week.

GODDAMNIT CASTLE!!! Ahhhhhh!!!! See, you're not just leaving Beckett for the whole summer while you go off to the Hamptons; you've now left all of us stuck the whole summer without you now!

I can't believe season finales are already rolling out . . . man, where did all the time go? Anyway, one more time because I am morally outraged right now:

Richard Castle, what the fuck is wrong with you?!?!

One More Pic from VGL:

Anime Evolution now has press status for VGL. That's kinda cool. So they wrote up a review.

And hey look, there's another picture of me and that guy from Seattle who always crashes at my house:

Fancy that.

Other than that . . . just playing a lot of FFXIII, mostly. Watched the Machida/Rua fight from Saturday, pissed off my manager at work and (related or not) he went to town on my department "clearing out the clutter" the other day, getting us to rip out the plexiglass covering the counter, removing all the advertisements the Nintendo rep' left for us, getting us to remove the TV and 360 that we used to play/watch/test DVDs . . . apparently cleanliness is better than practicality. We were grumbly.

I also ordered the Brentalfloss CD with all the crazy new remixed versions of songs. In fact, you can actually listen to the tracks online now! GO LISTEN:

The new version of the Megaman "Gotta Run/Be The One" (The "Okkusenman Song") blew my face off. I seriously can't wait for this CD to arrive. And yes, Abby, I totally saw you favourited a couple of his "With Lyrics" vids. I'm pleased with that.

Other than that . . . Deadliest Warrior on Tuesdays, Ultimate Fighter on Wednesdays. So far so good.

So yeah. That's more or less my end of things. Just lots and lots and lots of work. And stuff.
