On Being Found

    Bi-monthly consortial meeting this morning. Not the horror that they've been in some months previous, but certainly no joy. The pain was mitigated by spending some time with Computer Cutie and picking up 113 more Settlement CDs (about half of which are in Spanish--¿que bueno?). Lunch at the former Ground Round with The Cat. Apart from an oddly duplicative waitstaff and pickles that tasted like cleaning solution, it was a good time all around. (And I really am fine, tee hee!)
    Upon returning to my home-away-from-home, a.k.a. work, I decided it was time to compile search terms once again, with somewhat surprising results. The vast majority of visitors to the blog over the past 2 weeks have arrived through search engines rather than direct IP address linkage, and the majority of those searches have come from one area: Starbucks! To wit:

~ watch glen eye of the tiger lyrics
~ starbucks stacy commercial
~ starbucks stacy
~ starbucks "glen" "eye of the tiger" "doubleshot expresso"
~ stacy's time starbucks commercial lyrics
~ this is stacy's time starbucks
~ DoubleShot Expresso TV ad
~ starbucks commercials "stacy's time"
~ "eye of the tiger" roy roy roy starbucks
~ stacy's time starbucks commercial song
~ starbucks stacy
~ starbucks commercial stacy's time to clear her mind
~ starbucks stacy time
~ this is stacy's time starbucks
~ Glen glen glen glen glen glen glen glen glen glennnnnnnnnn Glen's the man [how'd they know how many 'n's to use?]

I could go on, but why? I think this is pretty damned odd. This is a major chunk of traffic, all due to one essentially offhand comment in a post. I guess that it's true what they say about nothing one writes truly being inconsequential.

Some hits regarding writing, music, lit and authors:

~ meaning of the phrase narrow domestic walls

And then there are the ones that defy categorization:

~ open my eyes [z-----] [as in Adam, the guy next to whom I sat in Spanish when I was a senior and he a sophomore?]

~ "stop looking for something else"
~ mohandas ghandi, wife beater [why do I think they're not talking about the shirt?]
~ peanuts pooh jung
~ views on tattoos

Sometimes I think it would have been better to have written pseudonymically. Is that a word? It doesn't matter--the horse is out.
