People are very odd, aren't they?

you've met people right?

In totally unrelated news, my mother and I bonded over our chronic watching of Criminal Intent, Vincent D'Onofrio's changing appearance, and Nicole's overall ickiness. And then she confessed to watching a reality show whose name I shall not speak. I was shocked, and a little gleeful.

this picture wasn't on the Explore page

There are also a lot of external apps which search flickr and present thumbnails to their users (as I learnt with the Star Trek post). So any random thing that gets the picture out in front of an appreciative audience can jack your numbers right up, and that will pull your set numbers up too, since some people will be looking for more of same.

I've found that linking in Buffistas provides many more hits than I'd have expected--the lurkers are out there, and they're clicking links.

Linking here or in LJ provides most of my hits. I think more than I got either time Lillian was featured on Blogging Baby.

Damn, ita, after clicking through some pictures, I am once again struck by how your whole family is gorgeous.

Because I trust you guys, it's this picture:

Ahahahaha. I love you all, and I still think of this place as a safe-ish space, but it is most definitely not as private (or as safe) as we seem to think it is. Trust me.

Flickr - I friends-lock most of my pictures, and private-lock a whole bunch. I've gotten some random requests from tights communities (literally, all opaque tights) and such.

Hmmm...normally I wouldn't watch anything remotely related to Rockstar Curling (I mean...seriously?). Mostly because I just hate reality TV. I will admit to getting sucked into a season of the Amazing Race but that was an aberration. =P BUT, I am now 31 years old and I have been a fan of Bon Jovi (the band, not just the lead singer) since I was about nine years old. So, if JBJ hosted I would probably have to force myself to watch or deny the show's existence. I think I would prefer the latter. On the up side, on A Daily Show last night John Stewart said, pending a vote, the writers should be back on Wednesday. That is the best news I have heard in months.

People. They mess stuff up for the rest of us.

I would probably check it out, but . . . watching curling is boring. Really. I have friends who curl, and I went to check it out, and it was interesting for maybe 20 minutes. After that, I just kept looking at my watch and wishing that they had better beer.

I still think of this place as a safe-ish space, but it is most definitely not as private (or as safe) as we seem to think it is. Trust me.

But I know how many hits I normally get from stuff I link here at least and can look at my stats and see how many people visited a picture because it was linked here.

Happy Birthday Krtistin and Maria!

I woke up this morning to discover that my roof has a leak. Not a bad one, total water presence on my kitchen floor probably amounted to a spilled juice glass. But still irksome.
