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.

Castle Down, Glee Down . . .

Well, wasn't that a super emotional season finale if ever?

More often than not this show has always left me in a pretty good mood, whether it be mostly artificial and residual or not. Music just works like that sometimes. The Moulin Rouge special features mentioned something like it: you can say something very plain and simple, but once you put it in song, it can come out really strong.

Guess a big part of it is how folks in the episode were just so happily able to say who and what they love straight and undistractedly.

I'm not sure if undistractedly is a real word or not.

In any case, good game, Glee. Your first year was quite enjoyable and satisfying.

Don't let season 2 suck in the fall, now.

I guess Tuesday is now singularly Deadliest Warrior night now. That said, they didn't replay it and instead showed a premiere for Pirate Hunters. I am still awaiting a means to watch that tonight before it's too late and I have to sleep (early morning).

Oh, also, totally gonna start working on the dress uniform from Valkyria Chronicles while my grandma's in town. Should be good for grins.

And SomeGuy's Obsession of the Week Is . . . .

So I've been wanting to, but it took a while to get around to it . . . kinda half-watched the third episode of Glee back when it was on (I was on the computer more than anything). Watched all of last week's episode kind of half understanding all the story lines, enjoyed it greatly. Last night I saw the newest one, thought "ohhh snap, they're bringin' in the plot thickener now . . ."

After watching that, I saw the commercial for Global TV mentioning how you can watch things streaming off their site . . .

. . . suddenly I started hitting my head for all these weeks - nay, months - of just griping about how American cable stations and their websites hate Canada . . .

So yeah, I watched the first episode of Glee finally. Holy shit, this show is amazing.

But let's be honest, I tend to be very passionate about anything I really care about, and it's hard to believe I'm really this into everything. What can I say, I love me some good television.

And I promise, I'll probably stop blogging about TV for a while once Uncharted 2 comes out on Tuesday. Still, I can't promise I won't gush and spazz over Uncharted afterwards . . .

. . . anyway, moral of the story: watch Glee.
