Keywords: the Best (funniest) Part About Blogging

If you've read some of my early posts, you'll know I am a bit of a nerd for statistics. So whenever I visit my blog, I spend a fascinated (and fascinating) 10 minutes looking through my Stats bar. You can view how many hits, on what posts, from what countries and computer systems, referring sites, all by day, week, month, or ALL TIME. ;) So far, my most popular post is "The Twilight Problem." But that's beside the point. The most fun part of all this is that I get to see the search keywords people use to get here...

 For example:
vegetarian roommate annoying
"kissed a zombie"
laura littlethumbs (me: *looks at thumbs in confusion*)
analysis of juletane
"amodern hell"

 ...and a lot of amusing (and inappropriate) things about hating Twilight. Anyway, the point to this post is that I found out how to view the search keywords people use to get to the articles I write for brighthub.com. Specifically my review of Rango (Rango - For Kids?), which jumped to the second most popular article in about a week and half. And now, thanks to this new feature, I just found out that it shows up on the first page of Google! *ego smiles happily*

 Better than that, though, I just spent five minutes giggling in delight at the list of keywords people use to find Rango. Yep, I have nothing better to do after midnight than update this blog, wait for my laundry to dry, and giggle at statistics. The list goes on for four pages with things like:

 is Rango for kids?
DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS TO SEE RANGO
why did beans kissed rango
does johnny depp say thespians or lesbians in rango
rango gay joke
i think swallowed plan b
plan b joke in rango
references in rango kids do not get
topless Barbie in rango
political message in rango
rango is not a comedy
rango drug references
rango owl images
KISS logo in rango
is the movie rango politically incorrect for kids

 And finally...
is rango ok for 6 year olds?

 NO. An emphatic no. It's hilarious (if you have the right sense of humor for it, that is...) See it. But please, please don't take your kids. Even if you don't get any of the references, it's a little too uncomfortably violent, weirdly realistic, and overall mature for small children. Link's on the Writing page for my review if you're interested.

 In other news, I have to go calculate statistical data for psych lab. Not quite as fun as lists of keywords...

    The more I blog, the more weird my search stats get... I love looking at them too.

A Spoiler-Free Review of Disney's Moana

I got to see a double feature with friends this Saturday: Moana followed by Rogue One. My review of Moana, containing only information you might need to know about the characters or context, is below. A review of Rogue One, which is not going to be so spoiler-free, is forthcoming. A More or Less Spoiler-Free Review of Moana Moana is a wonderful movie. Imagination, characters, visuals, and everything combined to create a beautiful world with a great story.  Moana is the adventurous daughter of a chief on a Pacific island. Though she longs to hop on a boat and explore the vast expanse of ocean all around her, she reluctantly quashes this rebellious spirit in order to learn how to be a good leader. When life starts dying on the island, it turns out that the world needs an adventurer like Moana to save them all.  source No Dead Parents Disney's rather infamous for the "dead parents as backstory or motivator" trope. It's a powerful move, but one that'...

I've been learning a lot about DOGS lately

I've been reading some books and online articles about dogs and did you know how amazing dogs are?? Just, from a scientific standpoint?? The history of dogs and dog breeds. Dog noses. Dogs that find lost pets. Dogs that rescue people. Dogs that detect seizures. Dogs that hunt invasive species at ports or just look fucking fabulous at dog shows. Also wild dogs! And FOXES. And other lesser-known canids (canines?) that look very different and sometimes similar and just are all fascinating and cool. I learned, for instance, that Corgis are a herding dog developed in Wales that herds by darting in low to the ground to nip. Whereas the border collies and related breeds herd by using the stare-chase-stare intimidation method. And that Australian Cattle Dogs are part dingo! Who knew? I met a baby Blue Heeler (very similar to Australian Cattle Dog) at work and got to pet a part-dingo dog! My neighbor owns a rescued Australian Cattle Dog. I live next door to a dingo dog!!! *Owen Wilson...

Audiobook Review: The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue

I'm behind on these. There's a whole list of wonderful books that I've been meaning to roll out reviews for. Unfortunately, NaNoWriMo got in the way.  But now it's December and I can get back to what I love writing: snarky reviews. I could have kicked off the next series of Diverse Reads reviews with a nice review. But I'm in a bad mood. Have been since November 8th. Actually, I've been in a bad mood since 2016 started with a slew of celebrity deaths and terrible news.  So a negative review it is. Spoilers below. I could not give less of a fuck whether or not I spoil this horrible book. Actually, since the whole point of this is to convince you NOT to read it, I'm going to try to spoil as much as I possibly can. Brace yourself. This is going to be a long one.  Summary After the swimming accident that nearly claimed the lives of him and his friend, Jack Peter has been severely agoraphobic. What his parents don't seem to understand is how s...
