Why Do We Need Entertainment
If you look at the synonyms for entertainment. --amusement, pleasure, leisure, recreation, relaxation, fun, enjoyment, interest, diversion--you notice that it does not appear to have to do with work. So, earlier in our recent past, either because our work was manual labor, or we were supervising laborers, entertainment was more, "of the mind," yet, today, when most people work from a desk, (or even in the entertainment field), that which we call entertainment would be a busmen's holiday, and not truly an escape at all. So, truly, entertainment now represents occupying the mind in a different way than normal. Even a real-life detective might find it an enjoyable practice to solve a murder in 44 minutes given the fact that it is not real life, with the tedious responsibilities of notifying the families of victims or sparring with perpetrators, and attorneys of both sides.

The Exorcist Review
Good morning everyone. As I have to make a somewhat long clarification that is unrelated to the review itself, I will go straight to the point here. Today I will review one of the greatest and best known horror classics. The title says it all. The Exorcist has been known globally for decades, especially for its film adaptation, for being one of the most terrifying works within the genre; reaching testimonies of nightmares that did not allow their readers to sleep. Finally, and thanks to a book club on goodreads (that's the clarification) I decided to read it, since it had been in my library for a couple of years without being touched, and today here is his review. Although I saw the film many years ago, I barely have memories of it, except for the most commemorative scenes of it, I remembered practically nothing; he only knew that a little girl was possessed and that her physical appearance mutated into horrible things. It was practically a blind reading. So, let's get to it at once.

Werewolf
Ch-23 “Come on pup, we haven’t got all night!” Faelan groaned and trudged forward, following two other wolves on his first hunt. His body ached everywhere, not fully recovered from his transformation. The bit mark was just barely visible now on his lower leg which was miraculous considering a large chunk had been missing.

Saying Goodbye to "Frasier"
After some hesitancy, I finished the last two episodes, the two-parter series finale, over the course of the last week. Once again I have gone through the experiences of emotion, of remembering what was forgotten, of leaving new footprints on a well-worn path. There is always a hurdle to get across when leaving something behind, and though I know now that clotting emotions give way to balance once more within a minute or so of departure, it is still a sad reverie indeed.
