What America cares about

I have this feature on my website that allows me to see how it is people find the site. (Don’t worry, it’s not giving me any personal information about you, like your e-mail addresses or how much time you spend on the internet versus actual face time with real people. We all need our secrets.)

What’s been astonishing to see these past few weeks is that I’m getting picked up the most by google searches for the following two phrases: “Mr. Darcy wet shirt” and “Kate Winslet naked.”

Huh.

Not “writing advice” or “toilet paper nests” or anything practical like that. The attitude out there is give me nipples, wet or dry, from these key members of the British thespian community.

Just thought we should all know what we’re dealing with.

So you’ll pardon me if from now on I always include in my posts some reference to either or both of Colin’s and Kate’s chests. I must give the public what they want.

By the way, the third most popular phrase people use to find me is “cats steal your breath.” That’s what happens when you cover as many diverse topics as I do.

I noticed no one did a search for my post about chocolate and liver, when really that’s the one that should have all America talking. It’s been three whole weeks now, and I haven’t had a lick of chocolate–I, chocolate addict extraordinaire who would rather eat chocolate than get a foot massage (I know–crazy). Hypnotist Paul McKenna has cured me. Now THAT’S something to google about.

    Hmm. This is concerning. What is the full set of information that you gather? Did it show that I left here for http://www.victoriassecret.com/ to try and guess which bra Annette was wearing underneath her imaginary ‘Yalesbian’ T?

    If it doesn’t tell you that, then I didn’t do that. That’s all I have to say about that.

    You caught me.

    I frequently search for Kate Winslet naked.

  3. Heather Harper Says:

    Please don’t tell my husband. ;)

    Heather, what happens on the blog stays on the blog.

  5. Barry Says:

    Well, all right then. Just to help Heather, and for no other reason…

    Now you don’t have to search!

    barry, i fell for it–them’s a whole lotta boobies (yes heather, kate winslet’s). must fess up, that would definetly not be the size of the victoria’s secret, lace, demi-cup push-up you’d find under my yalesbian tee.

    curious how one happens upon a site like that barry; googling, like patrick the mating habits of horseshoe clams in the tidal waters of puget sound, or does it come with your “subscription”?.

    have to take a break as my husband just came in and insists upon investigating this site for himself–refusing to take my word that there is absolutly nothing of interest to him there.

    Annette,

    I typed “kate winslet naked” into Google. Took all of five seconds.

    I am scandalized — I say again, SCANDALIZED. Someone needs to do something about that, and soon.

    I mean, five seconds! That’s ridiculous.

    That’s MUCH too long.

    Barry
