Keep it Like a Secret

And how did you find out about us?

8:57 a.m., Apr. 10, 2003

So my stats took a big jump yesterday. I broke 30 unique hosts for the first time. (For some of you, this means nothing, but my readership is pretty low-key.)

Clearly, something was up. So I looked at the search terms, expecting to find some references to porn.

Well. My biggest day ever did not include anything sexual.

Yesterday's Search Terms:

  • Who Will Win American Idol?
  • firecrackers claire
  • keep it like a secret
  • lindsayism.diaryland.com (5X!)
  • private diaryland secret
  • prink salon
  • JuJu and Moxie

These are all good things to have people looking at, although I'm not sure what you're hoping to find if you're after "firecrackers claire."

And now that I'm a Stats Whore, I'm going to drop a name that always seems to get me hits. I'm off to the Playboy building tonight for drinks and hors d'oeurves with the Medill Alumni Club. I'm guessing Hef won't be in attendance, since he went to U of I.

The Grafton is a new Irish pub near our house. Damn good curry fries.

Cleaning off the dining room table. So that's for eating, huh?

NPR. This war has made me appreciate them even more.
