We’ll call this A-Few-Words-Only Friday:
Just in case it’s been so long that you may have forgotten: I am Badfish. I’m not dead. My fingers are not broken. My computer is not broken (now). I’m not giving up on blogging. I’m not in Prague (now). I’m not in Malta (now). I’m not in Amsterdam (now). I did not find a sweety in Bucharest who cooks like a chef and wanted to marry me, and abscond with her to Uzbekistan. I am wearing thongs. I’m almost ready to write a real post. I’m almost ready to begin commenting (on my blog and yours). Just so you know this is me and not some hacker using my blog…I was thinking about writing the word “poop” but then I changed my…oh wait.
Question of the day: Have you ever seen a man wearing a skirt, carrying a whip and a leather jacket, and standing in front of a Starbucks in a 17th-century building?

Yeahh, Badfish is alive! So you’re still in Bucharest, pre-absconding! 😀 I posted a photo for you a while back, the slogan “All we do is travel” somehow reminded me of you. Please find it in this post:

Wenceslas Square – I remember there – but no riots, it was xmas market time. Your comment has generated an ear worm for Tracy Chapman’s Across the Line. It has a line “tonight the riots begin.” I can live with it for the day – the ear worms are usually much more offensive. You know, like follow the yellow brick road, or something equally annoying.

Someone forewarned him that a certain Mr B Fish was out to shoot him…. and not realising that said Mr Fish was shooting with a camera, and not a gun, he bought in his whip to whip Mr Fish into shape….. BUT…
