Crazy Boredom

Does this Blog seem boring lately to you? I just read the last couple of posts, and it was tough going if I say so myself. What do you want me to do??? Invent exciting stuff??? Make stuff up??
~
Sometimes life flattens out. It can't be all crisis and triumph.
~
In the meantime, suck it up. Something screwy will happen soon.
~
Apparently, some guy from the Shangdong Province in China doesn't think it's so bad.
~
He or she Googled the blog and had it translated into Chinese characters yesterday. There was no Chinese character for "Nanepashemet" so that stayed in English. The Site looked pretty funny.
~
I was able to tie into this because there are free "hit trackers" out there that can show the IP address of anyone who hits the blog site.
~
The tracker also notes what site it came from before it accessed the Blog. So if someone gets on the Blog after a Google search, you can see what the key words of the search were and what Google results occurred. If a Google translation occurs, you can see that too.
~
Since the Nanepashemet site gets so many hits, it comes up early in a Google search. Anybody checking out a Peep of the Week name always shows in the Google list. For example, I got a lot of hits from people looking for "Kristen Bitter Silk", when Kristen's Boston Globe article was posted on the Blog last fall.
~
If you think that this is cool, then you are slightly more depraved than I am.
~
How's that for breaking the boredom? Time to get back to the cubbies.
