Chuck

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, February 22nd, 2021 in Personal.

I didn’t know Chuck really well, but like a lot of people in the convention scene that you saw several weekends out of a year, we were friendly, and enjoyed sharing our love for various nerdy things with each other. In my case, that largely revolved around Evangelion, and other closely associated works. I don’t […]

Ten Years of EvaMonkey.com

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, January 31st, 2013 in Eva Monkey, Personal.

Ten year ago today, I launched EvaMonkey.com. Ten years. TEN. Do you have any idea how long that is in internet time? It should be noted that the site has been around for a bit longer than that, I began the site in the summer of 2002, hosting it on a Keenspace server for a […]

How I Met Travis Farren

By The Eva Monkey on Sunday, June 29th, 2008 in Personal.

At Katsucon 2004, some friends and I hosted a panel on the subject of psychology and sociology in anime. It was a topic we were short on expertise and credential, but still managed to provide a sufficiently engaging open forum for people to discuss anime on a higher level than usual. To this day, I […]

Where I’ve been.

By The Eva Monkey on Friday, August 17th, 2007 in Personal.

So apparently people want to know where in the hell I’ve been. So I thought I would just take the time to tell you that I’m still around, and haven’t completely dropped off the map. I began a job at the Library of Congress in their technical services department. They brought me on board primarily […]

Wait… what?

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 in Eva Monkey, Personal.

I know you’re probably thinking, “What’s going on?”, and let me assure you, everything is just fine and dandy. But it’s probably a good idea to lay a few things out for regular visitors and forum members. First of all, I’m not happy with the present condition of the site, and even less happy with […]

YouTube has invaded my life.

By The Eva Monkey on Sunday, October 8th, 2006 in Eva Monkey, Eva Monkey Videos, Fandom, Personal, Video.

The following video is a self portrait I produced for my video production class. The goal of the assignment was to create a self portrait or diary in the form of a visual collage that didn’t utilize any footage of my physical self. I cheated a little bit with the YouTube video from the Otakon […]

Stepping into a new era.

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, October 4th, 2006 in Eva Monkey, Personal.

It’s pretty sad how much I’ve neglected this site over the years. There’s been so much content that I’ve never gotten around to creating/adding/fixing/revising/etc. Sections such as the series and music guides have gone on bare and broken. I look at what’s in store for the fandom, and I see an imminent resurgence at hand […]

I am whole again.

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, June 6th, 2006 in Personal.

I am now the proud owner of a brand new Toshiba Satelite laptop. I got a pretty good price for it off of Best Buy’s site, and so far, I’m pleased. I just have to get everything back up and running. Dreamweaver, Frontpage, Paint Shop, Winamp, BSplayer, Divx, Xvid, Media Player Classic, and all those […]

I hate my father’s computer.

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 in Personal.

First of all, I want to know who else on this planet besides my father uses a trackball mouse. There must be enough of them out there, otherwise they wouldn’t make them. Drives me nuts. Imprecise, gives me a cramp. And the trackball mouse is just starters. He’s also got his security so high that […]

Sweet Blessed Freedom

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006 in Personal.

I may at some point have mentioned that I haven’t had a proper summer vacation for some time now. I don’t think I need to tell you that college absorbs free time the way a sponge absorbs water, blood, urine, or any combination of the three. Today marked the last leg of the academic side […]
