Random Thoughts

Random ideas, memories, idle chatter, and most of them are composed of more than one entry.

Pleasant Surpise

shinshi doumei cross avatarI decided to take a few days off from blogging, as you can see. Well, not necessary ‘decided to take a break.’ More like ‘procrastinated to post until the threat of death was issued.’ There goes my eternal sin of procrastination again.

So I took the time to look over my stats and what are the most searched keywords in the site. For months now, the top keywords were always ‘avatars’ or ‘full moon [wo sagashite]‘ which was nice to know. But a week before a sudden onslaught of keywords kept popping up on my stats. It had only two words.

Vampire Knight.

My mind blurted ‘What the hell?!’ That is among one of my top keywords and I only posted two sort entries about that manga?

I look over at Google and saw that there are over 4 million sites that talk about the manga Vampire Knight. And where is my post in that muddle of 4 million? I’m in the top 20!

*searches through Google again to check*

*looks around unexpectedly*

*sighs*

I guess the popularity of Zero Kiriyuu is not to be underestimated! ^^

Ban Advertising Pirates

Full Moon wo SagashiteI hate online advertising companies. I hate domain pirates. They should be banned from the face of the earth. They are not even fit to be called the scum of the earth.

Why the overwhelming hatred?

Because they pilfered what I coveted most.

What is that you say? Love? Money? Power?

None of the above.

What I coveted most would only be obtainable once in a blue moon; maybe even never.

Popularity Signal

Maybe I should start thinking that my blog is popular. With spammers, at least. I got 40 spam comments in a single day! Thank God for Akismet for filtering them. I can still recall times when spam comments like those ruined my day the moment I see them.

shinshi doumei cross avatarRemember that idea I have been knocking around in my head? It’s still there. The insane urge to get it started as soon as possible is under control now, but still there. It’s a good idea. It’s a great idea. I just have to think on how I can make it work so that everyone benefits.

Sorry about the secrecy. I don’t want to jinx it. Yeah, I’m paranoid like that.
