Hi! Hugh may or may not be my real name. I like to keep people guessing. Okay, it isn't, but to protect the guilty and embarrassed, I keep my true identity shrouded in mystery. Okay, maybe not in mystery, but I'm not going to tell you unless you ask nicely. :) If it helps, and it probably won't, I've also worn the nicknames HumanBean, and AgelessHumanBean.
I'm 41 years old, and recently divorced from my wife of seven years, yet through it all, I think we're going to be ok. I live in Minnesota, USA, if you call that a life...which most days, I suppose it is. I'm a bit of an oddball, if you haven't guessed, but hey, seriousness is overrated.
Just of late, one of my sisters has entered the Epinions arena. She moved out of state and went to California, which did something to her, Californianized her brain or something, resulting in a name change into something I can't pronounce without stuttering. Check out ywudi-bkidden to see if anyone else in my family is as off-plum as I am.
To those who have placed me on your WOT, I thank you sincerely. I appreciate your trust, and I'm glad to have you aboard my wierd little world.
How I Rate: I click the little buttons on the bottom of the review.... or maybe there's more to it than that.
Most Helpful: You've written a very thorough review that describes the product well, gives your own experience with it clearly and explains well what you feel are the strongest points pro and/or con, and it outdoes the other reviews I've seen on that product.
Very Helpful: Your review decribes well the basics (such as plot, characters, actors, effects and soundtrack in movies)in enough detail to give a clear understanding of each, gives your impressions in a clear and descriptive manner, and lists your views pro and con in an understandable and descriptive fashion.
Helpful: Your review gives a basic description of the product, shares your impressions in an understandable fashion, and has a basic explanation of strong points pro and/or con.
Somewhat Helpful: Your review has a rudimentary description and an impression or two of your reaction. Generally, I'll leave a comment suggesting a few details that would make it a little more helpful, and I'm always open to being emailed with updates to something I've already rated.
Not Helpful: Your review has no real or only a vague description or summary, your impressions are unclear, or your review contains extremely vulgar or insulting material. I'll always leave a comment with an NH rating to explain it.
Off Topic: This is self-explanatory, I would think. Your review has nothing to do with the subject you are supposedly reviewing, or is in the wrong category. I'll always leave a comment explaining the rating.
What am I writing about these days?
I seem to concentrate mostly upon movie reviews, as my personal favorite category, although I will toss in a book review once in a while, if my brain seems to be willing to allow it, plus the odd bit of music. I also am kept busy with "The World According to Hugh", a semi-regular feature wherein my brainfarts come in to roost, which was supposed to be a one-time submission that has taken on a life of its own due to some people who wouldn't let me get away with just one. To them I say, "You crazy readers! You're the best! I love you! Don't come to close to me!"
Anyhow, all of "The World According to Hugh" articles can also be seen at KiddenAround.com
