A couple of Internet ruminations here ...
For some reason, I still visit My Yahoo! every day after I wake up just to quickly scan news headlines, read Doonesbury and all of that fun stuff. I subscribe to one of the NHL news feeds there, and in the wake of the current lockout, there's been an awful lot of filler there. The most absurd, yet the most entertaining, are regular reports on a simulated season being played on EA's NHL 2005 right now. The most annoying are that for some reason, writers for the Colorado Avalanche are somehow able to slip in "Avalanche Moment" columns where they basically reproduce columns written during the Avs' glory days, yet somehow no other team gets this privilege. What's up with that?
I've been looking at my server logs for the past couple of months, and I'm always fascinated by the search terms people use to get here. A lot of people come here in search of Saturday Night Live writer T. Sean Shannon, although most of the searches with my name in them seem to be directed towards me. (Usually they'll include an extra search term like Wildwood.) However, for some reason Jacqui Malouf and Stephanie Birkitt keep showing up on my top ten keyword lists every month. One month "jacqui malouf's ass" was in the top ten, even though I've never written at all about her ass. (I'm sure it's quite a nice ass, but I don't feel particularly compelled to write a lot about it.)
