First Post!

Every blog, by definition, has to have a first post, and this one is no different. I think it's also tradition for the first post to lay out some of the goals for the blog itself. Like a lot of people these days, I consume a lot of content: books, TV shows, movies, and video games. I find that in many cases, though, that's all I'm really doing — consuming.

Other than a book a month for my book club or the occasional special TV show that friends of mine are also watching, I rarely get a chance to reflect on what I’m consuming. So, my goal is to write (hopefully) pithy reviews of my media diet and, in the process, maybe gain a better understanding of why I like what I like — or even what I don’t.

So, welcome aboard, and let’s see where the tides of 2025 media take us!
