Welcome

This is my first stab at blogging. This blog is probably going to be fairly random in terms of content, categorisation be damned! So if any given post is not immediately interesting to you, skip it, come back later and I’ll be rambling about something else – sooner or later we’ll find some common ground. Generally you can expect to read reviews, commentary, and anything that happens to take my interest enough to warrant writing about (you know a blog).

Anyway, I’ll finish up this first post with a factoid. The modern meaning of the word sinister originates from superstitious discrimination surrounding left-handedness, sinister coming from the Latin for left (left side).

  Still sinister

 

 

 

The early usage persists.
