To say I'm nervous right now? MASSIVE UNDERSTANDMENT.

Meep. Four more hours. Less then. Shooooooot.

This makes me sad:

I just finished reading Guards! Guards! yesterday and now I'm listening to the radio play version because I'm too lazy to walk up to the Eaton Centre and pick up Men at Arms. I'm such a big dork. D: On a side note, Carrot sounds completely different then what I imagined.

I actually listened to radio version of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents before that, on the way into work today. It's surprisingly dark for something intended to be for kids and a parody of talking animal stories. And no, we're not just talking about Harry Potter where it starts light enough and progresses into darker material over the course several novels. It starts out fairly twisted and then swan dives into darker, but funny material. Not that I'm complaining, because it's a great story and one that I would have loved to read as a kid.

Rick Green? Is a cool guy in real life.

I got to help interview him today. We were dissing the quality of the first season of Prisoners of Gravity together. I didn't speak up too much, but I was honestly in awe for most of it and generally felt like a nervous wreck. I was totally made of fail. D:

There are things said in that interview that are... big and interesting things! Like...
- How he got the job hosting the series.
- The reasons why the first season Prisoners of Gravity is "lost" (I now feel bad for digging it up).
- The future of History Bites.
- The possible future of Prisoners of Gravity.
- Some goofy bits with Rick Green acting as Commander Rick. If they keep the full opening... OMG... it's SO over the top. Rick also did the "Prisoners of Gravity" rant from season one.

As soon as it's posted, I'll be linking it. This was the secret thing I was working on, although word had gotten out a couple of days ago. It was also one of my big life goals - those who know me know that Rick Green was my media hero since grade 5 and one of the reasons I decided to chase an education and job in media. Not to recreate his stuff, but to do cool crap like what he did and still does. :)

I've also been welcomed into the staff of This Week in Geek. Heaven help me, I have no idea what I have done.

How did this happen? A couple of weeks back, I got an email from Mike, one of the hosts, thanking me for my site and asking me if I wanted to involved with the interview. Turns out that he had visited my site waaaaay back when I was probably back in high school and was shocked at how much it had grown. So, this somehow spun off into me actually being on the phone during the interview. 0_0

I'm still pretty dazed.

Today is... like... day of squee.

If anyone sees the Yuki and Ryōko figures from here at the Fan Expo dealer room...

PLEASE TELL ME! Punch me, yell for me, threaten to kill me. Do SOMETHING to get my attention.

I love the scene they make together. It's from the best episode in the series. Yuki is so kickass.
