I can see how this

I can see how this could just keep going indefinitely, but I just found another friend's blog! Emmanuelle Richard is -- you guessed it -- another journalist friend I knew from Budapest, who runs the elegant site Emmanuelle.net. Unfortunately for me, she's blogging in French, tho she does charmingly suggest that if you want it in "bad English" you can use Google's translation engine on it. A great irony is that I also emailed a journalist friend still living in Hungary that I had started a blog, and he wrote back asking "what's a blog?" After I mocked him, he wrote back in reply "I asked several intelligent people today...[I'll edit out the names for their sake] if they knew what a blog was. Theories varied from 'an intestinal blockage' to 'a new wireless mobile phone technology.'" Which would seem to indicate that you have to actually *leave* Budapest to understand how cool bloggers are.
