Saturday Night Search Party
Holy hell, has it really been a year since my last BonBlogs Search Party? Wow! Yes it has!
Okay, so I blame the MySpace. Because, y'know, more people are visiting me there than here and I can't track what's sending people to those pages (despite what those cool, scantily-clad-women-illustrated ads tell me I could do, if I were to just click-click-click).
That said, I do still get a fair number of visitors here to the BonBlogs (thank you, Chip, for the li'l corner of the SpyNotebook) and here's some of what's been bringing people here in the past year.
actors help the wga: Yes, they do. And writers will remember this, when/if actors have to strike in a few months. God help us all.
april 11, 2006 is $189,000,000: Good Lord, how did this search land here? Did I miss scratching a lottery ticket somewhere? Dammit, Keith! Why do you wash your jeans without emptying your pockets?!?
arguing on the internet competing in special olympics poster: Ah, yes. A favorite quote about message board bickering. Not sure I have a poster for that, but I sure as shit have a strategy for dealing with the jaggoffs I want to throttle. I Google 'em. If they're actors, I bring 'em up in the casting databases. Suddenly, the loud, obnoxious jay-holes who want to put me in my place are a lot easier to ignore. (Remember that line from Family Guy's Brian? Anything on that remote lower than MUTE? Yeah.)
arm involuntarily curls when yawning: Cool. It's like a workout for narcoleptics. (Ironic on both counts that this would lead to a search of my blog.)
casting director blogger: *waves* Hi!
casting posters, trailers: Only of those I've cast (and dammit, I need to update the Cricket Feet website again... sheesh. Is it time to hire a web guy? I'm so out of date lately), here.
Do you think that the tobacco companies should pay for people's medical bills?: Yes. But only for the rectal exams.
dream of someone throwing darts at me: But do they hit you? I think that's the more important question.
"freaked out" blog: Damn. I have my moments, but in general?
gimlet night: Yay! I love that the "gimlet night" has become a search item! It's an event Dawn, Michelle, Faith, and I dubbed after gathering to sip lovely vodka drinks (not always gimlets, but that was what we had first--since it was my (then) new fave) and to catch up like only we can. It's been far too long, ladies. Before year-end, right? RIGHT?
"good vibes" "promotional code": Okay, I search for promo codes when I shop online like everyone else, but really? Are there "good vibes" codes out there? Sign me up!
how do you get inside a notebook: Um... not to sound like a dick, but, um... opposable thumbs seem to help.
how late should eat last meal if working out: When are you working out? I go to the gym after midnight and my "last meal" is probably around 7pm (just like Oprah), but then, if I'm up 'til 6am, I'll eat again after the gym. Ugh... are you sure you want to land here with that question? I mean, really.
how to cast on while work in progress: Is this a knitting question? Again... really?
is it okay to eat gravy that sat out: Aw, this is just too funny. I burn water when I cook. What would I know? Keith bakes it and I eat it. (Should I be worried?)
it could have been worse jac: Yes. It could've been worse. You could've lost a more essential letter than the "K" at the end.
katie murff trotter: I didn't even Google to find out what this *might* really be. I just lurved it so much as a "sound" that I included it. Bring on the follow-up searches!
lemonface: No doubt, one of the best young bands today. I am not kidding. They rock. Love 'em. (Especially Dana. No offense, boys.)
mario cantone + ant: No, no, no. It's not "Mario Cantone plus Ant." It's "Mario Cantone is Ant! Duh.
neck deep + pictures: I have no idea why this started turning up in my searches, but it's there. A lot. I'm disturbed in that same way my mom probably was when she wasn't sure whether "huffing" meant "a sex thing."
pictures of Camille off of 90210: Don't have any. But--fun fact--the actress who played Camille also played a character the season before who was asked out by Steve and Brandon (with those two not being smart enough to understand that she and her "roommate" were girlfriends--it was the '90s and all). One of several actors who did multiple roles during a 90210 tenure. Should we take on the world with our trivia prowess, Stephen? ;)
principal vs. principle: Dude. Seriously. I am so happy people care enough to search this shit out. Read it. Bookmark it. While you're at it, bookmark this one too. And this one. And this one. I'm just sayin'. (And thank you.)
recent actors: "Recent" or "Resent"? Eh. I love 'em, no matter how current they are.
SALEMA: Ah, that's my little girl kitty! She's so pretty.
spasm baby hand arm: Aww... this almost reminds my of my Somesuch friends. Miss y'all! It's been way too long.
suddenly I miss someone: Aww... me too! It's cool how this one came in right after the "I miss my Somesuchers" one. Aww.
talent manager bonnie gillespie: Nope. Not in a loooooong time. And probably not again. Want to hemorrhage money? Become a manager. It's tough!
tight size 14 jeans: My goal. Woo!
tweeds clothings: Okay, I get a buttload of searches for Tweeds. And I get a TON of emails after people find my post about how much I miss my beloved Tweeds Catalogue and, by extension, my Tweeds Clothing and Shoes and Jewelry. Waaaah! I really, really, really do miss 'em. But I love the emails. It's like we're all members of this club of really well-dressed (one and two decades ago, anyway) ladies who loved clothing in colors named in pretentious but crafty ways. *sigh*
What casting websites actually work?: Um... they all seem to "work" (if by "work" you mean "load"). As for which ones casting directors use, I'd check the message boards at Showfax.com and my columns, of course. I'm not unbiased, but I'll always tell it like it is, even so.
what is the "mother tooth": No clue. But it sounds interesting.
what is the dumbest thing: Attempting to get different results by doing the same thing, over and over.
what kind of car did dylan drive in 90210: Have I mentioned that I love 90210 searches landing here? Hee! It was a cool car. ;) That's all I'm saying.
what's a corsage?: According to badass Jessica Bendinger, it's the universal symbol for "whipped." Good enough for you?
writers are selfish: This is only funny if a writer Googled it. Y'know, 'cause it's all about me. ;)
Hope y'all enjoyed the search party!
Happy weekend! Whee! :)
