SomeGuy: Smallville

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.

Wow, Where've I Been?

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.

Chinese Proverb Win!

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.

Alright, I'm pissed . . .

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.

Learn Something New Every Day...

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.

Police Award Ceremonies Rule . . .
