Let's
find some reading for you
Welcome to the slow beginnings of 20Mensch. This blog will someday, somehow be filled with lots and lots of words on pages about many an interesting thing. Until then - I'll try to figure out what to write about. And how to get someone to read it.
Game, audiobook and movie reviews
Is likely what you'll find the most of. Obviously 20Mensch.com is not a comprehensive systematic review of anything – which is probably why most of the reviews will be positive and recommendations. Who'd want to listen through 30 hours of audiobook, if it was a sucky audiobook? Or game? A horrible movie is easier to get through tough.
Psuedo-philosophical thoughts on life and living
Other than reviews and commentaries on works of entertainment. You'll also find the odd article about something completely different.
Should squirrels be considered monkeys? Is the earth triangular? I don't know, but I'll happily discuss it. One thing I know for a fact, is that mermaids should be real.
– there's a short or sketch story or two in there somewhere as well.
What is a sketch story?
When the writer doesn't have a great idea for a short story, he or she will write a sketch story – an even shorter story, likely with no start or ending. To explore a character or world in a noncommittal fashion.
Doodles
I recently bought a cool little flask with ink in it – along with it I bought a few small brushes. And an watercolour sketch book. That combination added up to a lot of small inky doodles on expensive paper – the ambition of course being to fill in the inky lines with watercolours for a more complete look. While that is unlikely to happen, I thought I'd accompany the text-doodles with an inky-doodle.
This is why the list of blogposts looks like every single margin on every single notepaper in my long career of not taking a lot of actual notes.
