Anime North, T-minus 30 days and counting

It’s almost here. Anime North 2010. Again, no cosplay this year but that’s fine, I want to flesh out some ideas first before I do this. My first cosplay is going to rock, no way around it, I’m a perfectionist when it comes to that sort of thing. I either do it well or not at all. Not looking forward to the 5 hour drive to Toronto but whatevs. It’s still going to be an awesome weekend.

Just a quick update on my ‘other project’; I’m tentatively looking to launch it June 1st. I have the domain, the logo is being worked on, and I’m always working on content and design. I’ve decided to go with WordPress as the backend of the site. It’s a great CMS and I’m familiar with it. No, this isn’t going to be a blog, nor will it really look like one when I’m done with the design/layout. More to come in the following weeks.

Coming Soon…for realz

Still searching for a proper WordPress theme to use with the site.  I’ve tried several themes but each other just doesn’t do it for me.  What you see right now is a placeholder, i have no intentions of using the current theme.  I’m eagerly awaiting Jeremie Tisseau’s PigNews theme which is currently being coded.  You can check it out on Jeremie’s deviantART page.

As for the site itself, i’m hoping to actually blog this time around.  Before, i would always set out to try and be a ‘serious’ blogger, but that would usually last all of a week or two.  This time will be different.  I’m no longer in college, graduated back in December 2008 (more on this once my site is finalized) so i have A LOT of free time on my hands these days.  I work at Home Depot (yay?) and work a night shift consisting of 8-midnght, Monday thru Friday.  So i have plenty of time to blog during the day.

Unlike before, i’ll actually try to post pictures to my flickr account more often, post about current events, hobbies, and more importantly, myself.  There will hopefully be semi-regular reviews on games, movies, music, etc., but overall i just want a place of my own to rant and rave with complete freedom.

For now, check me out on;

You can also check out my girlfriends blog.  She doesn’t post often, but at least she posts.  I also encourage you to check out an old ModBlog friend of mine who can be found at RoughToiletPaper.com (RTP), he’s weird, but extremely funny.
