Added a new pic to Treetop, my art gallery. Nothing amazing; just a head shot of a female character. Been thinking about what to put together for an anime short, as Otherspace Productions‘ first official work. Saalon, I need to talk to you about montage. I want to do a montage about importance of existence (I’ll explain that later), and I need some basic terminology and grasp of montage to know what to do. I’m also assembling a final […]

Sheesh, it’s amazing how busy one can be when a friend’s over. We watched Mighty Space Miners Sunday night, only to find out that they only made the first two out of three episodes. So we reached the climax of the plot, only to be left hanging. Arrrrg. Still, Mighty Space Miners is an excellent little series, dealing with very realistic relatively-near-future asteroid mining. […]

Saalon’s down for the weekend, and we’re having a great time. After I showed him around Intersect, we watched a bit of anime: Photon, Rurouni Kenshin TV (the whole DVD, actually), Princess Mononoke, and Tenchi Muyo! TV (between watching anime music videos and my video footage from Katsucon). Princess Mononoke is breathtaking. It has a complex plot that really defies easy analysis — there’s definitely a lot of action […]

Eeek! Haven’t updated in awhile. I finished my Katsucon report, by posting a bunch of pictures from the con. I’m very pleased. Saalon’s coming down for the weekend, in preparation for a job interview at Intersect! Isn’t that cool? If he gets the job, he and Erin will be moving down here. While he’s down here, we may work on an anime music video. More info on that coming later. Meanwhile, I asked my boss […]

Bought three new anime DVD’s today: The Castle of Cagliostro (a Hayao Miyazaki film), Digimon: The Movie (now that should be interesting to review), and the fifth Cowboy Bebop DVD (which includes “Boogie Woogie Feng Shui,” an episode I’ve been itching to re-watch lately). And I decided that I’m going to stop buying anime for the next thirty days. That means that I won’t buy any more anime DVD’s or VHS […]

Ugh. I didn’t get to sleep until 3:00 a.m. this morning, but fortunately I feel pretty good anyway. Such is life. I was able to use the time to post those things I mentioned in yesterday’s diary entry. I also posted a piece of artwork to MegaTokyo‘s Art and Drawing Forum, mostly just because anyone who critiques there is supposed to post their own artwork at least once. I’ve been talking […]

A new server is now up and running at WebMages (which hosts this site), which explains why these pages may have been unavailable over the past few days. Everything seems back to normal now. I’m back from Katsucon. I’ve posted a complete set of diary entries on this new site. I’ve set up a little gallery site called Treetop, where I’ve begun posting my artwork. […]

Had a very good day at work. I’m actually not as far ahead as I’d like to be, but after a status report one of the higher-ups took the time to say how impressed he is at my status. It’s amazing how much that encouraged me to work. I then went to Katsucon. However, rather than describing that adventure here, I’ll point you to my diary of Katsucon 2001.

WebMages is moving over to a new server, so this site may be periodically unavailable over the next day or two. I must say that it’s been a very pleasant transition thus far. I’ve been gearing up for Katsucon this weekend. I may not update this site much over the weekend as a result of spending a lot of time there. It looks like the family vacation to England will have […]

It’s link day! Y’know, we’ve all had our bad days. Especially in college, we’ve all had assignments that truly sucked, and that we had a really tough time completing. Even so, it would have to be pretty bad to submit this sort of report. Meanwhile, I came across this incredible report on how much the media really, really sucks. There’s some really eye-opening information […]
