Search Me

I rarely get funny searches to this blog, or my others, for that matter, but two recently tickled my funny bone:

• chocolate breasts
• medical simpsons avatar

Okay, Now it's Getting Interesting

Latest Key Word Searches, as per Blog Patrol. I would think using quotes on some of these would've made for more reliable hits than ending up here. I like Chocolate Hotties.

This Blog is Too Normal

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I just don't get the funny searches that lead here that other bloggers get. From Blog Patrol:

"oldies concert reviews" (Google)

So, do I need to talk about tits here or what? But at least, people do have a chance of finding something useful when they get here, ie the oldies concert reviews. But mostly, it's just a useless mention that greets them. So for all of you who landed here and you have no idea why: Sorry.

Boring Referrals, Bring on the Sex, Violence, and Strong Language

Just checked Blog Patrol's search terms for folks finding their way here via Yahoo, MSN, and Google searches and the overwhelming result is (well, it's not overwhelming since few folks come via searches) people get here by searching "chocolate." "Chocolate stress." "www.chocolate.com." Things of that nature. Someone did search "Mickey Dolenz radio." And that's all just boring. Maybe I need to bring out the strippers or something.

Tasty Miscellaney

Whenever people post the searches used to find their blogs, they're usually funny or otherwise entertaining. I tend to get boring searches. I am amazed that my book blog (and website) get the most searches for one book review in particular, for Guy Burt's Sophie. It's a wonderful book, but the interest in it over the other books I've read and reviewed caught me by surprise.

Among the recent searches that led folks here:

• SHelly you idiot (on Google. I don't get this at all.)
  
• Jacques Torres Chocolate Haven (Yahoo, pretty dead on)
  blogpet sidebar (Google)
  
• shelly (MSN, I don't want to begin thinking about how many hits this came up with)
  
• photoshop toast texture virgin mary (Google)
  
• shelly name blinkie (MSN)
  

See what I mean? Except for the first, all are reasonable searches for this blog. How boring.

In chocolate news, Publishers Weekly had the following book listed for a February 2005 release:
Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light by Mort Rosenbaum, North Point, $24. They gave it a nice review, so it's now on my To Buy list.
