The Ground Rules Going Forward
So - further to the random comments I've made recently about moving this blog forwards, I've set myself a framework for what I write on here* in the future. These are as follows:
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.
* Important note: 'on here' is what we would technically term 'entirely inaccurate'. I'm moving to a new URL for the term of my life as a resident of The City By The Bay. I figure, new location in real life, new location in blog life. I'm currently tweaking the new home, so the next posting here will consist of a big 'Go Here' notice.
