Eye On...

I see that Eye On Perm has not been consistent in blogging. Perhaps this is the greatest blog commandment of them all: "Thou shalt not blog inconsistently."

After living in Perm, Russia for ten years perhaps I no longer see the fantastic, humorous, thoughtful, or absurd aspects of this great city as unusual. We've blown out at least three car windows this year, for example, (for various reasons) and I no longer find this challenging or humorous. I just go and visit the Chinese guys on Izhevskaya street and they install a new window. Maybe we just need a new challenge...

But now, we are beginning to say good-bye to the city whose name harkens memories of bad '80's hairstyles. We will be in the USA this fall and return to Perm for only a few months before moving to Moscow in March 2010.

At that point, Eye On Perm shall inevitably morph into Eye On Moscow and everything shall seem new again. Will this create more consistent blogging? If nothing else, I suspect that Moscow prices and Moscow traffic should account for at least a couple years worth of blogging material.

For now, I am finding that Twitter is something I'm fairly consistent at. Perhaps it is the combination of the challenge and simplicity of saying everything you want to say in 140 characters or less. To follow me on Twitter click here...
