Welcome to my world.
I'm SomeGuy, 26 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 come to Anime Evolution in Vancouver this June.
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.

I haven't blogged in a while. I should remedy that . . . alright, let's see . . .
- Hung out a bit more with my dad and my grandma, ate a little more here and there.
- My mom taught me a new Chinese proverb: gai toong gnap gong (chicken talking with duck) to describe the conversation between myself and my grandmother.
- I explained to my grandmother what a "muffin-top" was.
- Worked. Nothing interesting.
- Started shooting a commercial for Anime Evolution's commercial contest. We plan like suckers, so it's a bit of a gong show. But it's fun.
- Got the Resident Evil 5 demo. Played it. Loved it. Excited for it now.
- Got a Fan Words intern, have been enjoying the second pair of eyes immensely.
- Called Adam a dick on Tuesday. That was pretty amusing.
- Had an exciting point in the chat involving trains. That was good.
- Background moderator work led to some amusing, ironical user issues. Very curious as to how that'll all end . . .
- Grandma gave me a BUNCH of Chinese movies I need to watch . . . if ever I find the time . . .
- Watched Dollhouse on Friday. Dollhouse was excellent. Joss Whedon, please don't get screwed over again...
Probably other things happened too. I can't remember them anymore, though.
Other than that . . . happy Valentine's Day. Kiss 'em if ya got 'em.
Talked to my dad a bit on the phone after I was off work to plan to meet for some yum cha on Thursday with my grandma and possibly my uncle or something.
Anyway, as I got to the car, he mentioned this saying to me that really fits my situation right now:
"Keh Ngau Wun Ma"
Basically, "ride an ox while you search for a horse". But don't quote me on my romanization of that. It's surely wrong.
In any case, I was amused. My dad seemed glad that I was amused. Good times.
FOX, you guys are dicks.
They're premiering Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" on Friday night. They're also moving "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" from Monday nights to Friday night as a back-to-back thing with Dollhouse.
The Friday Night Death Slot.
On FOX.
The night that good TV shows get sent to die.
FOX, you suck. You suck dicks.
So I only just learned today that a "Desbreko" is a skeletal fish monster from Majora's Mask. Suddenly the world just makes that much more sense.
Go fig.
Also, I need to go to another lion dance right now. Could be the last one for the new year (blasted holiday goes on for like, two weeks!), so we'll see.
Finally . . . here's a shot my dad took of my brother's award ceremony. I'll let you guys try to guess which one he is - only hint is that Justin tends to sport a bit of a shit-eating grin at times when things are supposed to be serious.
I suppose, also, he'll be the Chinese one. Probably. He looks kinda fat in the picture too. That's a shame. Anyway, the full unit citation went to 13 people, but their heads were too shrunken in that picture so I went with the zoom. It's all good.
