Roboculture

Wow. What a difference a week makes in the Robotech world. Or rather, what little a difference makes. It's finally great to start blogging again so far away from home. Too bad I won't have a tablet to keep my teeny tiny audience (it has declined as usual to a trickle) interested.

Oh well! China's great. It's colder, and dare I say more boring than were I live. Although I have to say its a gazillion times cleaner. But enough about real life! Who wants to listen to somebody's real life? It's not like everyone's out to listen to Harmony Gold's Creative Director's or Marketing guy's life story, right?

Handsome devil, isn't he? He's probably
got a charmed life too, going to all those
conventions hearing praises from all those
fans.

Bleah! The only big news so far from good ol' Masters news site have been some of Fernando's AMVs and the now infamous Carl Macek interview by Robotech Master (note the lack of an 's' there). Oh yeah, and the good ol' Cap'n JLS' vid and RDF Underground shows too. Now here's the stupid thing. There's no sound card in these computers (I'm in the university' library typing this). That just means that I can't hear any sort of sound whatsoever. Even if I plug my Ipod headphones in the PCs. Barbaric isn't it?! Yes, all the news that happened this week is apparently inaccessible because I don't have sound. Just idiotic. To add insult to injury, no downloading at all either.

But hey, at least I can forward my agenda to finish that Robotech Art book thing that few actually cared about! Let me answer some of the messages left over the course of the week:

"If you're ever interested in a job relating to art, MedMapGuy, send me a message and we'll talk. I personally deal in a world frought with artists; goodness knows I'd love to meet more with the passion you have."

- From Khyron Prime

My Response: Hmm... Without a tablet for the next five weeks, I am practically helpless to help you. Sorry Khyron, but I hope to get in touch with you when I get back. Drat!

"uh, I wasn't IN the Robotech online fandom until 2003/2004"

- From Darkwater

My Response: We all make mistakes?

"Hi. I was browsing around a robotech blog and noticed your art. Cool drawings... I'll submit some Robotech stuff hopefully by the end of this month... I haven't sketched in years."

- From Fernando, Regular at RDF Underground

My Response: I'd really like to see that Fernando. My email is at tephandchar@yahoo.com. The only problem now is how to actually see the image you made. Yes, this is kinda insane but... In Chinese University, you cannot download anything. Not even in your email. So if possible, could you post your image in say... ImageShack, or DeviantArt? I would kill to see new Robotech art from long-time fans. Please, please make the best art you've ever made in your whole damn life and show me. Please.

"count us in..."

- From ADC,

My Response: I'll start bugging you guys as soon as I get my bearings in this foreign land.

Hey, regarding the popularity of audio recordings and stuff, would it be possible to have someone tell me or send me a transcript of these great interviews and video podcasts and stuff? Or would someone be kind enough to post a summary of what was said during these interviews and shows? Just comment on this blog and you will have my eternal gratitude.

Or maybe I should just sign up for Emmisaries, as Tolarin always wanted me to... Bah! I am so confused now... Perhaps this confused trail of thought shall continue tommorow?

Addendum:
Oooh! My monthly transfer has exceeded! What... What does that mean..?

Oh yeah! Thanks to Invid Future for sending me Shadow Chronicles for free! Now this guy, I'm eternally grateful too. Can you imagine the audacity or insanity if I left my country without seeing that over-hyped piece of... masterpiece!? No, I guess you wouldn't.
