Being the adventures of a young (ha!) man whom circumstance has shifted from London to San Francisco for a couple of years.
To see my previous online life, check out More a way of life….
I’ve set myself some ground rules for this site which are based in the ways in which that site veered from my original intentions. If the following doesn’t sound interesting, best go somewhere else.
1) Most postings should be me observing/commenting on things in the real world, which should help get me back to the kind of blog I originally set this out to be.
2) At least once a week I will post a serious review of something, which will help reinforce the original intention of also having an outlet which will help my critical faculties not atrophy. I reserve the right for the ’something’ to be a book, a film, a comic, a play, a game, a website, or anything else which I feel lends itself to my interest. This is in lieu of reinstating the entirely separate part of the site for reviews that I used to have.
3) Where I write about ’stuff that happened to me’, it should wherever possible be in relation to the specific experience of being an alien in a strange land. That should offer plenty of scope for anecdotal posts that are at least more interesting than just me, being me.
I think that abiding by that should keep me (you’ll forgive the pun considering where I now live) on the straight and narrow.
