Lies & Damned Lies



Warning: 90% of statistics are made up - and when they aren't, rarely do they prove anything.

I've been quite thrilled to see the visit count on my blog get some serious boostage lately. The thought that my musings on seemingly arbitrary themes were gaining popularity makes my head swell most fetchingly. Especially seeing as I didn't post at all in April or May (blame China - I often do).

But sadly, it appears that the figures don't actually mean much. The most popular month this year was May.
Question: why would people read my blog more when I posted less?
Answer: They weren't reading it, they were imagining a naked woman.

And I mean that. Upon further research I noticed that almost all the visits to the blog were from google image search, and to my post about hot olympians. Most of them were image searches for Jennie Finch, the "hot" baseballer and Republican. I'm almost tempted to remove her - how can I sleep knowing that 99% of my blog love is all because of the male love of the female figure - and a right-wing figure, at that?

Moral of the story? Sex sells. Don't try to deny it.

I'll never stoop to such base levels of marketing my blog again.

Meanwhile, here's a picture of Aoi Miyazaki.

I mean, just damn. If you don't like that, no more women for you.*

*If you don't like women, of course, that's no problem. Besides, that means all the more for the rest of us.

I can't understand the statistics so I tend to ignore them.

Aoi. She's quite pretty. How is her name pronounced?

Pronounced like it would be in Maori. They have the same vowel sounds, so in theory Japanese should be easier for Kiwis. Of course, you have to be able to say "Paraparaumu" properly first ;)

(In case you don't speak Maori, I guess the closest English phonetic would be "ow-ee". Though that sounds worse than my French.)

She's just such a friendly looking lass - this would be about the only photo I could find where she was actually trying to look hot.

Meh, she's alright. I guess I'd have to see her legs and hips if I really approve. I tend to go for girls who have more meat on their bones.
