I am bloggoing since 90s, and my first blog was dimka daily, but at some point i got a livejournal and pretty fast that became pretty much my main blog. however it is all in russian, and even though I have a nice community and several hundred people have added me as a friend there, I feel I am missing out because it is only in russian.
So, I tried bloggspot and some other blogs and they all just not as good as livejournal.

Finally I decided to have two livejournals, one in russian and on in english, and thus here we go

thedimka.livejournal.com in Russian
the-dimka.livejournal.com in English

also I have translated a couple of dozen recent entries, so it will not be a blank.
And I will try to write them in parallel in both languages.

enjoy
