What’s up with Arctic Gulls?
Every once in awhile I got a whole bunch of hits from a single search term. Now I’m not talking about hits on Purple Saxifrage which I get on a daily basis… from all over the world. I still have no idea why so many people are searching for it, but I digress. Today it

Curious
Like most bloggers (or at least I hope it’s like most bloggers, otherwise this is going to come off as pretty vain) I seem to have somewhat an obsession with stats.

Why I dislike the City
I dislike the city because since the best writer on the web, Whippoorwill, moved there in December she has only posted 26 times. Because her posts steadily declined in January, February, and March. Because she only posted once in April and hasn’t posted since the 12th of that month. As much as I hate to

I’ve long been opposed to things like extrajudicial detention and torture, but after long consideration I’ve decided I’m willing to consider it for SPAMMERS!
