Welcome to Mine
Ahhh, the de rigeur Narrative of Self page! This is where you get to stickybeak into the life of the blushing designer of this little web-corner.
In a nutshell: I'm genetically Russian, born in San Francisco in 1966, raised in Melbourne, Australia; have been a chemistry student, a philosophy student, a librarian, a web designer.
Until recently, I lived in Melbourne, Australia. In a bedsitter with a view, a fat tabby called Emma, my Purr Mac and six bookcases.
In late Feb 99 I moved to the lovely city of Tver, Russia. It's about 160km/100 miles north-west of Moscow, on the way to St. Petersburg. I have a job doing some assorted bilingual editing and proofreading and translating, plus web work.
All the books I mailed from Australia arrived, and I'm very glad to add that within months a black kitten decided to live with me. Then a PC appeared in the kitchen.
So my basic lifestyle requirements are taken care of - books, cat, computer and modem, reasonable supply of coffee and chocolate.
I'm pretty happy so far, and language skills are improving rapidly. My current slang repertoire has really picked up since I started reading the best Russian jokes site at www.anekdot.ru
What do I miss? Large bookshops with thousands of books in English. Same for music stores. And it's been ages since I saw any Xena, Trek, or South Park...
I still can't cope with writing a resume for myself on this page. Welcome to decontextualized information.
