Everyone Needs to Know My Opinion

Well, I suppose they don't NEED to know it, but wouldn't they be enriched?

Now the first question one might ask is, why do you need another blog when you don't post enough to the one you have?

Good question. The short answer is another blog is a bad idea and you are right. The long answer is that I don't care what you think and why is it any of your business you damn busy body!

Whoah. Whoah. I think we got off on the wrong foot there. Let's try entering into this with a little less jusdgment and a little more willingness to expand ourselves. And I don't mean with pies!

Fine. Be that way. One reason this blog exists is that I have found I enjoy reviewing/summarizing stuff I have read or watched and the blog format seems a good place to put it. For years I have sent reviews of sci-fi books back and forth with my friend Aimee and while it is nice we have this "thing" we do, why can't the whole world share in it? Or at least the 5-10 people (max) I expect might end up reading this. This would only clutter my "main" blog which drives relentlessly forward. A book review there would drop off the blog rapidly, while here it won't go anywhere until I read another book or review another movie/tv show.

This may very well go nowhere, being a temporary fevered flash from a procrastinating mind (Mondays... am I right Garfield?!), but we shall have to see.

Now I have spent so much time introducing the Review Blog I have no time to actually do a review. Instead I bring the special bonus material: One of the origins of the original blog name: "Black Eidolon".

An Eidolon is an apparition, phantom or a ghost, whence comes the name for this blog. Its origin is Greek. A Black Eidolon would be a particularly malevolent spirit, the sort of over-the-top character you would expect as the mascot for a Death Metal Band. Despite this obvious Iron Maiden/Eddie-like connection the origin has no connection to any musical group, living or dead or pretending to be undead. The Black Eidolon for which the blog is named is a character I created with a terrible curse... But I have already said too much. Perhaps I will be able to say more later, when no one is watching.

Seriously, eyes front buddy. The nerve of some people.
