Let's Start Things Off...

As the title of this post (and the lack of any previous post) suggests, this is the first posting on this blog, so I figured that I had better start things off by explaining what exactly this blog is, so get ready because it's a doozy.

This is a blog about very little.

In my eagerness to break into the writing business, it eventually occurred to me that, hey, I'm not getting very much experience now that I've graduated and am now perpetually stuck behind a desk in a windowless room with the world's largest, slowest clock. So I decided that I had better start writing something. Now don't worry; I don't expect anyone to actually read this garbage. This is, after all, a blog about very little, if not nothing.

Now that I've stated that again, allow me to say what this blog actually is about, or rather, what it will contain (for I have already established the reason for this futility). This blog is a series of light, casual reviews of whatever bit of media I happen upon - namely, movies, videogames, books, TV shows, and perhaps the occasional music CD (or MP3 or whatever format proves itself popular in the moment).

WARNING: I am a nerd (defined, depending on the source, as either a "stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person" or an "intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit"... In this context, I at least hope that the latter is more accurate). Most of the reviews posted are, as the blog title may suggest, somehow to do with sci-fi (not SyFy, as the Sci-Fi channel has now taken to calling itself) and fantasy, so if you don't at least in some capacity love Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, you may as well stop reading now. That's what I enjoy, so if you don't then I just don't see the point in keeping up this charade, do you?

I can't say how often I will be updating this site; there are, after all, only so many reviews that a person can take, but I'll do what I can. Hopefully you'll stay tuned, but even if you only pop in every once in a while, I'll be thrilled to have you. Just please don't think worse of me if I at some point in my ramblings take a shot at the Jonas Brothers.

Party on.
