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.

Closure . . .

After the video card on my old computer died, I was unable to play a lot of games I used to be able to. All my Total War games were kaput, as were all my Source-based games.

Now that that's no longer an issue . . .

. . . I played/finished Portal last night. Booyah.

EDIT: Oh, also . . . GI JOE is pretty good. It's like all the fun eye candy of Transformers 2 but without all the retarded crap in between. This is good thing.

If Site Updates Are Slow . . .

New computer in the works. Expect minor downtime.

Beyond that, I'm quite excited.

Cheers.

Also, Fat Princess is hilarious. Further, Afghani food is quite delicious. That is all.

Number Seven It Is!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, guys. It definitely kicked off a nice, relaxing day. And that includes work (boring, lazy, easy day. Love it).

Beyond that . . . roommate's home again. Probably means I'll start being neater around the house again. Also a good thing.

Christmas Cake . . .

Granted, this mostly totally only applies to women. But still, it's funny.

That said, I forgot to do that poll! We need to get on top of that now!

Keep in mind I'm currently using #5, so that one's no longer in the running. So yes . . . which avatar shall I use for the next year? Vote below!

Beyond that . . . post for the sake of posting.

TV Tropes... You Ate My Saturday...

Yesterday was pretty good. Chatted with a couple nice people online, finished my internet homework, had dinner back at my parent's house . . . good times.

Mostly, they wanted me to come out so we could put together a computer on account that I become a Christmas Cake on Wednesday. We had been throwing around the idea for a computer as a birthday present for a while now (especially after that massive tech failure I went through the other month). So, it's all ordered up, and it should be ready by Saturday. The joys of NCIX . . .

Other than that, spent the better part of the past few days watching K-On! and am now almost finished. Wow, who knew that ultra-moe could actually be so entertaining? Quite enjoyable, I like it.

Oh, the other day I also got Fat Princess. Haven't played it online much yet, but I bet it'll be fun. It's Fat Princess, after all!

That said . . . spent a lot of time reading TV Tropes again (I blame K-On!). Led to an interesting link. YouTube again, this time clips of a one Peter Schiff, US Economist. It's kinda interesting/frightening/amusing to see these bits from 2006-2007:

Alas, poor Cassandra . . . and poor us, by extension . . .
