I hosted the #AvatartheLastAirbender Cast Panel at Anime Las Vegas in April.
Here’s a video of the full panel if anyone is interested:

A haiku about California:
We have In-N-Out.
We also have Disneyland.
But, ya know. Traffic.

Just found out Alpha-Bits were discontinued in 2021. If I had some, I’d spell out R.I.P. at breakfast.

Something I'll never get used to about having cosplayer friends is running into them at cons and not recognizing them because they're in full costume and makeup.

If I ever meet Jay-Z, I’m asking him if “Jigga What?” is a Back to the Future reference.

My favorite TMNT character is Casey Jones. While I may never be a mutant turtle, I do already own a hockey mask.

Wow, If I had a nickel for every friend who went from aspiring rapper to aspiring Pokémon card influencer, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t a lot, but it’s strange it happened twice.

With TikTok potentially being banned, Twitter dying, and Meta… well, being Meta, if you need me, I’ll be in PictoChat, Chat Room C.

I had to take a nap to make sure I’m able to stay up until midnight. I used to be young.

Watching Jingle All the Way, and poor Jamie's been traumatized enough to turn to the dark side.

I was in JROTC in high school, and it taught me a lot—mostly how to tie a tie.

My favorite season of Power Rangers is Digimon Frontier.

I wish my ex would’ve broken up with me at an AMC Theater. Heartbreak feels good at a place like that.

Something that no one ever prepares you for about getting older is having to scroll to get to your birth year.

I just finished Volume 11 of Kaiju No. 8 this morning, and…

*checks notes*

… Volume 12 doesn’t drop until February 2025.

Perfect. So, what’s my plan until then? Enjoy the holidays with my family? Yeah, because who wouldn’t want to do that?

Earlier that same year, I lost my own father, so I can deeply empathize with the pain his family must have felt. I truly hope they have found some measure of peace.

The next morning, his family released a statement, and the convention floor felt unusually quiet. There was a somber atmosphere as everyone shared their favorite memories of Tommy Oliver. It's hard to believe that two years have already passed.

2 years ago, I was at Anime Pasadena when I received a call from a friend informing me that Jason David Frank had passed away. I learned the news before it was made public, and I was left speechless and in disbelief.

My sisters shamed me for accidentally letting my Digimon Tamagotchi crap itself to death.

They don’t know how difficult it is to raise a child in 2024.

11 episodes in and Kamen Rider Gavv has been an absolute treat (pun intended)

I watched Kaiju No. 8 as it aired, and when season 1 ended, I was craving more, so I picked up the manga. I just finished volume 6 and now I’m officially ahead of the anime - this feels strange.

I want whoever won the Meower Ranger suits to post the dimensions online. I would like to commission a Meower Ranger suit for my cat.
Maybe from Aniki.

Kaiju No. 8 is becoming a personality trait for me.

I have a folder on an external hard drive I use for work called “current projects” that hasn’t been updated since 2015.

It’s not that I haven’t had any projects since then, I just haven’t gotten around to updating the folder.

The Manga Defender: The Magna Defender's weeby younger brother.

The cross promotion we deserved but never got.

My autocorrect changed “Luchador” to “Lunchables” and I don’t know if I’m impressed or offended.

I don’t know what this says about me, but I saw a picture of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and I thought it was Little Debbie.

Do you guys remember when Funko tried making their own cereal? They somehow managed to make it taste like their vinyl figures.

I’m convinced that if Hi-C brings back Ecto Cooler for good all of my problems would go away.
