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.

Prepping For Next Week (and Next Year)

Well, for everyone who was here a year ago, you know what's comin' up. We have a whole new year to prepare for, and I'm still willing to leave that choice up to you guys.

We need a new Onizuka for 2008/09.

So which shall be my new theOtaku.com avatar next?

So yeah. Which one is it gonna be? You've all got a week to tell me which one to go with.

Fandom Osmosis

While cleaning up the basement earlier in the week, I had the last episodes of Avatar playing on the TV. My brother had no idea what was going on, but I filled him in as best I could as it went on.

Last night, He saw the first four episodes of the first season followed by the very last three of the season.

It's a thing I do with him. I watch stuff on the TV while he's in the room, he'll generally be occupied with his laptop and kinda half-watch whatever I'm watching (if I claim the TV first).

So, I had a craving for Avatar. And like always, he's kinda half-interested, chuckles at certain points, asks me to fill him in on things . . .

After the 4th episode (the one on Kiyoshi Island), he said to me, "go to the episode where they get to the Northern Water Tribe!"

(Snagged.)

So we watched the final episodes. They're gigantic displays of awesome, so he was impressed enough.

Whether this'll make him watch it on his own, we'll have to see . . . but hey, it worked for Evangelion way back when, so never say never . . .

So that was Saturday.

Today, I feel like I might actually just go out and see The Dark Knight. Everyone else I know locally has already seen it, so I'm stuck. And as much as I hate seeing movies by myself, I'm just taking way too long for a movie I really need to see.

So we'll see.

Oh yeah . . .

Watched the last four episodes of Avatar last night. I was very, very satisfied with it all.

Excellent end to an excellent show. Now here's hoping that we can all remember it as such without it falling into sequel purgatory . . .

. . . and now, if you'll all excuse me, I have to finish this review before going to bed. Buh-bye.
