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.

Alright, let's try this again . . .

Mask, Ichigo, those were fun. Good times.

Now who has a story premise for that posty thingy I need to do this Saturday/Sunday?

Remember, all it took last year was for someone to say "how the bossman trolled Christmas" and we were set. That's all we need. Doesn't even need to be a full idea, as I'm decent enough at Frankensteining different points together to make something giant and monstrous.

So yeah. Any ideas?

Prompting, Puriizu!

Yo.

I need to write a thingy about that thing for Sunday (or Saturday, depending on how you look at it). Needs to rhyme and stuff.

Guys, give me some starting points from which to leap majestically.

And Now For Something Completely Different

Oh hai Tumblr pictures:

That is all. All is well. Oh, and Seattle was also quite good and I thank everyone who input ideas on that one!

Holy crap, I'm an uncle now!

Born early this morning, seven pounds even. Brother and his wife had a boy named Logan.

Logan. Oh you guys …

So this is kinda exciting, hey?

And yes, I totally copy-pasted this from Tumblr.

Seattle types! I seek counsel!!!

Alright, so here's the sitch:

Comin' to Seattle for a few days. Basically long enough so our allowance for bring back alcohol is greater. That was the original plan. The hitch was that I needed to get the days off.

Well now I have the days off. And the person whose plan it was suddenly started thinking "maybe a day trip is enough after all". We have specific objectives of seeing a friend's performance and picking up cosplay material; booze is secondary to that.

That said, I counter-argued that I just got the days off and that I wouldn't mind seeing more of Seattle than just the convention center.

Well, she's seen more of Seattle than just the convention center. That said, she said that if I wanted to do some sight-seeing, then we could stay longer.

So now I feel guilty for pressing the matter. Also, I'm definitely getting the "it's fine" vibe. Y'know, the vibe where you get the feeling it's definitely not "fine"?

So here's where you guys come in . . .

. . . what are some of your favourite places around town? Places that when you have visitors, you feel they HAVE to see it. Maybe stuff that the regular tourists don't always see or do.

We've done Pike Place. She's done the zoo (and probably most of the other big touristy things). Need to think beyond this kind of stuff.

Any ideas? 'Cause seriously, I could use some right now . . .
