Note: I've opted out of the pernicious guests feature, so no tracking here & you won't see me showing up in any of your lists.

An expat journal. Lives in the Netherlands, but is originally from the USA.

I try to focus on the positive more often than I succeed. Often boring, this is more for me than it is for you.

This journal has changed focus many times over the years and I have nearly accidentally developed some specialty areas. So, for the interested who may be here for specific types of posts:

Found Objects, with a particular interest in graffiti. I also am a mod for the found_objects community, so you can leave questions about the comm to me here. I am also interested in found photographs, and found notes.

A lot of my current focus goes to book reviewing. Please note that I do this largely for myself. The idea is to help me process and remember the books that I read. These are divided by year:

2007
2008
2009

Or, if you don't like so much noise, you can skip straight to the books that I have particularly recommended.

I tend to add people back who add me, as long as you don't appear to be a bot. I use locked posts largely to foil search engines and protect the privacy of others.

A note to Russian speaking livejournal folks. I seem to be getting some new friends lately from the Russian side of the web. I tend to only add journals back if I have some idea of the person behind the journal and I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't read Russian. If you'd like to read my flocked entries (not very many) please leave me a comment in English and tell me a bit about yourself on one of the entries. Thank you!
