Google Suggestions

Want a glimpse at who's using the internet these days? Try using Google. And by that, I mean type in random words and see how Google suggests to finish the phrase.
Of course, you could start with letters, but seeing that most of them are businesses (i.e. W is for Walmart), they probably paid for that spot. So I'm going to start with the question words. What are people asking Google these days?

"Who " (space included)
...is big poppa on real housewives of atlanta
...won megan wants a millionaire
...is my congressman
...invented the internet
...won america's got talent 2009
(These results ignore the "who wants to be a millionaire", "who says lyrics", and "who moved my cheese" as they are not actual questions.)

"What "
...is my ip
...does my name mean
...is my ip address
...is twitter
...to do when your bored
...time is it
...is love
...is a good credit score
(Not including 'what not to wear' and 'what are these strawberries doing on my nipples i need them for the fruit salad"(it's a book.))

"Where "
Where is monopolized by "Where the Wild Things Are" variations with the exception of #10: "Where are they Now"
However "Where is" yields some interesting results, including Chuck Norris, "my refund", "Lady Gaga from", "my mind", and "your appendix"

"When "
...is daylight savings 2009
...will i die
...is labor day
...will the world end
...is easter 2010
...does daylight savings end 2009
...does daylight savings time end
...does the hangover come out on dvd
...is thanksgiving day in 2009
...does new moon come out

"Why "
...do men have nipples
...is the sky blue
...is my poop green
...do cats purr
...do dogs eat grass
...did the chicken cross the road
...do dogs eat poop
...is there a dead pakistani on my couch
...did i get married
...did michael jackson turn white
(The sad thing about this list is that shows what people are asking these days...)

"How "
...to tie a tie
...to kiss
...to get pregnant
...to
...stuff works
...to lose weight fast
...to write a resume
...to lose weight
...long does weed stay in your system
(This result list could be taken chronologically. Getting dressed for a date, kissing, taking it to the next level (possibly marriage), interest in things other than their spouse, losing weight to 'save' marriage, looking for a new job after being fired from the last one for doing nothing but asking google how to live, losing weight for health reasons, and the drug slip-up. Judging by this list, the next reult would be either "how to check into rehab", or "how to handle divorce paperwork".)

dA: Do Not Attempt to Adjust Your Monitor...

...this is actually a real update.

Yes it has been quite some time since I've truly visited the ol' dA stomping grounds. So I'll get the usualy empty promises of uploading stuff out of the way.

I plan on uploading my artwork from my Tyler "career" at some point. More for me and my cataloging habits than for you. (Nothing personal.)

Now that that's done with I can tell you where some (relatively) new stuff of mine IS uploaded: http://astro.temple.edu/~tub53101 It's not all of my new stuff, but it IS something. That being said, there's a link on that site to the "official" Everybody Hates Hamlet website; which, at this point allows yo u to watch it and listen to the "original soundtrack".

Now for a deviantArt specific topic: why do keep people favoriting my "Cartoon Network Collection"? Whenever I visit this site, that's pretty much the only "miscellaneous" messages I get. It now has 147 favorites and 11,916 views. I haven't looked to see which one of my deviations comes in second, but I'm pretty sure it would be pretty pathetic by comparison. This leads me to believe that most deviantArt users are here for the fan art. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just a little dissapointed, that's all.

And in webcomics news, M-Comics will be resumed most likely when I'm done for the semester, and Ack-A-Me is still on the eternal hiatus. I have pencil comics drawn out for both, just not the time to digitize anything.

I suppose that's it for the Journal update. Thanks for reading!
