Hey hey, I'm Kastom.

I don't like talking about myself, so, uh...yeah. lol. I'm a major gamer, I read a lot of books (physics, math, philosophy, fantasy), watch and read some anime, and spend the rest of my time being annoyed at gravity for restricting me to being able to do only one front flip at a time.

I've posted a few of the articles/essays I've written, so if you're ever interested in reading anything that I have thought about or researched, check out my articles world, Kastom's Thoughts.

And the essentials:

Kastom's Bio:

Birth date: September 10, 1989
Sex: Male
Real Name: Tomas (Tom)
Living: Ontario, Canada
Occupation: University of Waterloo Undergraduate Physics Major

And I leave you with a quote from Adam which sums me up well:
"Kastom is very smart and wise, but sometimes he acts like a n00blet..."

There won't be Brawl (anymore) :(

Hey hey,

I just finally got around to watching There Will Be Brawl final episode. Man that was good. It's still such an indie production, but so much better than one would initially expect from the description, lol.

Obviously it would only really be interesting to watch if you were into Smash Bros. and/or Nintendo in general. But man...oh so good.

I am so buying the DVD when it comes out.

ALSO:

I just found this cool Japanese/Anime radio site. 91.8 The Fan. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in it, but I like it since it gives me a nice variety of music to listen to while at work (where I have none) :P

Also:

Some kids in chat... >> Usually new people to chat understand that you shouldn't swear, especially when some people tell them. But some... :/

Getting hungry and thinking a lot about Pho,

This made me happy inside

I got a warm, fuzzy feeling from this.

Look beside the present to see something amusing. XD

Aeris can be so cute <3

I'm hot

Hey hey,

Had an awesome weekend. Smuggler's Notch is a pretty sweet place for skiing. The room we had was awesome. Overall great weekend. I have a lot of pics, but I haven't really gone through them yet due to getting home last night and then being tired, lol. A few things from the trip though:

1. I have to once again thank Ryu for giving me TWEWY. It was great for passing the time on the 5 hour drive each way.
2. Vermont has the worstly worded signs I have ever seen. My favourite being "Watch Children". Not "Watch for Children", not "Caution Children at Play". No. Just "Watch Children". XD Another good one was a sign simply stating "Blind Person"
3. I'll let this pic say it:

8DDDD

I didn't ski without a shirt like Miss A suggested (though I'm sad that I didn't try, lol), but I did jump out of our place's heated pool into the nearby snow.

Hahhahahahaa...

And yes, that is steam all around me (hence why it is hard to see me, XD) from the snow and water I'm sitting on. lol

Anyways, great weekend. I'm tired and aching all over, but oh so happy.

Back to work,

I hate titles :(

Hey hey,

First off, I want to recommend an awesome movie. It's called "Primer". It was a 2004 science fiction movie, and quite plain and simply, does the best job I've ever seen a movie do when concerning...

Hmmm, actually I don't want to say what it deals with, because that would ruin it slightly.

Basically, it's one of the (if not the) most intellectual, and realistic (yet obviously fictional) takes on this aspect of science fiction. An aspect done oh so many times in film and television. It was a small indie movie, so don't expect anything grand, but at the same time, I have to say I like it more than many Hollywood movies, simply because it has a very different feel to the film style. It just feels so real.

Anyways, I can see many people not liking this, but several people greatly enjoying it (*looks at Pleiades and Shinmaru in particular*). Check it out if you can find it anywhere.

Also, don't read anything about it, otherwise you'll ruin (well, kinda ruin) the main theme of the story.

Other than that bit of plugging, I just wanted to say that I'll be gone for the rest of the week (I'll be back Sunday night). My parents, brother, and I are going south to Vermont for a ski trip at Smuggler's Notch. None of us have ever been there (Smuggler's Notch, we've been to Vermont to ski a few times), but we wanted to try a different place for our big ski trip this year (usually we go to a place in Quebec).

So it should be fun, I plan on getting a bunch of pics of course. I'll post some if there are some particularly good ones. *laughs*

Really wants people to watch Primer,

Holidays over, but it was oh so good...

Hey hey everyone,

Haven't been on much since the day before Christmas Eve. I've been busy.

Some family friends from Winnipeg came in for Christmas, so my family and I spent every day with them from Christmas Eve to the 29th. Mainly just dinners and the like, but we also went and saw Sherlock Holmes (quite rather good. Better than I thought really; I was expecting a terrible action-Hollywood piece of crap, but it was pretty freaking good), went skiing, and a few other little things.

One thing I found rather amusing was the amount of alcohol, more specifically wine, that I drank. Even just a few months ago I couldn't stand wine. Now all of a sudden I am loving it. I definitely drank over a bottle a each day of Christmas Eve, Day, and Boxing Day XD

For presents, I got the next three Vizbig volumes of Rurouni Kenshin, a DS game (Prince of Persia: The Fallen King), and this awesome outdoor exercise shirt.

New Year's Eve, none of my high school friends were around/available, and my Uni friends all live too far away to hang with for a day or two. Well except for one. QuantumFlux is only about an hour and a half away so we hung out, I showed him pho (and the greatness it is), and we played vidja games and drank all night. I DID come in here around 2:30 AM though, and drunkenly talked with a few people like SomeGuy. It was fun XD

Also QF gave me this awesome show "Entourage". I don't know why I like it, it kinda seems not like the type of show I'd find enjoyable, but man, it's addictive. It's funny, and I really quite like the characters. If only he'd given me more :( Dammit QF, Season 1, 2, 5, and part of 6 are not enough! XD

I guess I'll probably get into that when I get back to Uni.

Speaking of which, I'm on to my next four months of co-op. I go back tomorry. I dun wanna. I want more holidays, specifically ones that are less busy XD I'm an introvert, I need my good few days of down time XD

Anyways, I'd better clean up around the house. Stuff of mine is scattered about from the holidays, and I've been putting off cleaning up. Then I'll probably hit the bed. It's back to early mornings....

Done drinking for quite some time,

- Kastom
