Yes, indeed. I was hoping to be Bhutan or something, but this is more practical. Napoleon complex, here I come. . .

Re: coincidence n fate

i was sort of shocked to be ideally british... and yet it does make sense. either it shows i am not as much of a dissident as i think i am, or else they ignore the quiz and just respond to your isp address...

But the questions on this particular quiz had delightfully odd responses, making it more worth our while. I laughed hard.

I take it there is good skiing in canada? I picked a lot of "ski" answers -- since I LOVE to ski -- and that's all, really, that I think could have steered me one way or another. ::musing:: Unless it was the steak and smoking....

ABOUT DE FILE

You're looking at content from my Live Journal, which I have been keeping since 2003. I consider it a personal blog, though it lacks stream-of-consciousness revelations that typify that genre.

That said, if you manage to discern the confessional mode within entries that are superficially tight-lipped, I will reward you handsomely. Or at least pretend to do so.

In addition to reflections, however mediated, on my daily activities, De File features periodic excavations of material from my "files," a revelation sure to disturb anyone who has seen my garage. It's an experiment in integrating past and present, perhaps with a little redemption along the way.

Politics is always on my mind, but rarely explicit here. I’m working on a theory about what personal writing like this does to literary identification and why some people resist its pull so powerfully. But my goal is to make that theory dissolve in my practice, a density in liquid.

You'll note that I have links to blogs not on LiveJournal directly above, as well as assorted websites of note. The blogs I read regularly on LiveJournal itself fall under "FRIENDS" at the top, for those of you unfamiliar with LJ’s workings.

You can write me. I'm "cbertsch" before the circle-a and "comcast.net" after it.
