I’m not sure what I want to do with this blog. I haven’t mentioned it here yet, but I got the job in Japan that I was applying for. Ever since August, I’ve been keeping notes elsewhere about the process of applying, planning, etc. Their primary home was on Google+, to a limited circle of people who had opted-in, because I was talking about it a lot and I didn’t want to annoy people. Now that the job is a reality, it’s a major part of my life, and I want to move it to a more public forum. I’ve been mirroring the G+ posts (but not their comments) to a private blog over on WordPress.com, so I’m trying to decide if I want to make that public and keep blogging about Japan there, or import them over here, or what. Now that I write this, I feel like the latter is more appropriate. This is still my life, after all – it’s going to be about Japan quite a lot, but it’s me, my life, and this is where I write about my life. Some of the G+ posts have been very short, but hell I don’t write here much at all anymore, and they don’t have to be essays.
So…should I do a redesign in honor of the new journey in my life? I’m not sure I need some of the stuff that’s on the sidebar, especially the Netflix “at home” listing – I’ll have to suspend my DVD subscription while I’m there! (And possibly the whole thing, but I’m going to try to get a U.S. based IP address through VPN so I can keep watching Netflix and Hulu.)
So yeah, I guess I will import the stuff over here, with special tags to indicate it or something. It’s my life, and this is where I write!
Edit: Okay, everything is imported on my site. But since you , and I’m not copying 80 short posts over by hand, LJ readers will have to look at those posts here. Actually, anybody looking to catch up should go there – just remember it reads backwards to August!
