I still don't know what day it is.

Guess what, it's Web comic Monday!
(Shut up, I know.)

Today's comics are by the charmingly strange Max Cannon at Red Meat comics.

My favorite character he draws is called Bug-Eyed Earl, so I'm posting 5 of my all-time favorites with Earl.
















Ahaha!! Creepy.

Previous web comic tuesdays:

Oct 17th, 2006: People search for my blog!?

(Real post to follow! I promise-ish.)

Default away message.

There was a death in my family on Wednesday so I won't be around to post anything until maybe Monday from work. Everything is fine, I just have a lot to deal with and won't even be around a computer. I have major withdrawal symptoms already from both the computer and non-family life forms. I also gnawed through my restraints this morning. Yummy.

Uhm, yeah...

I promise an never-before-seen level of fun & excitement on Monday's entry, that will make up for an entire week without me!! You might spaz out from the joy of it. I would wear protective gear.

I'm also trying this new 'exaggerating' thing to make new friends... how do you like it so far!?

Searches that lead to my blog.

You don't realize how freaky people on the internet are until you see what they're searching for. With a lot of site counters like StatCounter, Google Analytics, and SiteMeter, you can view the "keywords" that led someone to your website through a search engine.

Since I talk quite a bit about the Nintendo Wii and being a geek girl in general, I wasn't shocked by this one. In fact, multiple searches relating to the Wii release and/or buying a Wii in Omaha come to my site on Google. Like so:



And if you don't know how to spell Carpentry, yet still want a job in the UK in that field, search using
AOL in the UK for the words "carpentrey jobs" and my site will appear at this entry where I mock a guy that contacted Echo and was kinda slow. It comes up at the 2nd result:


Here's where it starts to get weird, folks. If you search for "serial killers pretend to love animals" on Google.com, my recent entry on internet dating will be the 3rd result. Nice. I just don't want to know why this person is searching for those words...


And finally, thanks to Nadine... if for some strange reason you search for "peeing that long" on
Google, my site will be the 1st result with this entry of an absolutely insane conversation with Nadine. Yes, I am #1 in "peeing that long"... that is a title that I hold very near and dear to my heart. Check it out:


It is a really strange world out there. I sincerely hope all you new visitors get your spell checkers working, further investigate your new serial killer neighbor who pretends to like your dog but is really plotting against you, and for sure get that peeing issue looked at by a trained professional. Ya'll got issues.

Tag #6: Book excerpt tag thing

I know, it's my second post of the day and you're all "damn Jen you always post twice when you have the least to say". Well, quit yer bitchin!! You chose to come here, you should know better. Now just listen up.

I was tagged by
Mairin, of Tales from the Trenches, a little while ago and I kinda forgot about it until just now. It's a cute, unique taggy-post (meme) too.

Here are the rules:


1.
Grab the nearest book. If you are currently reading something, that'll be fine too.

2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your Blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag 5 people.


And here's what I have:


Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-Bye!
by Cynthia Heimel



It's true that people grow older, more sophisticated, but nobody ever matures past age eighteen. The same feelings persist. The way we acted then is the way we act now, even though our braces no longer lock when we kiss.

Okay, so what does a teenaged girl do when she's crazy for a guy?


Okay that's it. Short and sweet. And by the way, Cynthia Heimel is
hilarious. Her books are a necessity for every chick on earth. She's most known for her 80's book on sex advice for girls, which I haven't read. Here's some of her other books that I like/own:

Ha ha ha, bitchy sarcasm as its best! Oh, I went off on a tangent and forgot that I'm supposed to tag 5 people... I still don't think I know 5 people to tag. I still only know 3, maybe 4 people that I wouldn't be too shy to tag. Yes, too shy to tag. I'm neurotic, even on blogger. So, I vaguely tag whoever is reading something good right now. Do it.

Shoes, shoes, shoes.

I've narrowed down my shoe selections... It's gonna be really hard to choose.





These are all-synthetic/man-made materials. Entirely vegetarian/vegan shoes!! Can you tell I like black skate shoes? Yeah, I really do. I'm partial toward any and all Vans, as you may very well know, since I
gave away all of my beloved non-vegetarian Vans recently and it almost made me cry. But the Macbeths are really cute too. It's going to be really hard to decide.

Oh man, I love shoes.


Blog Network Update:
I'll work on the stuffs tomorrow while I'm off of work and can devote some time to it. I like a couple of the ideas you guys suggested, so that gets me thinking. :) I know I need to start on the buttons first because I'm just a really visual person. Once I create a few button designs that I like a lot it'll be easier to make up a name. I'm guessing the whole generalized theme will be rant-related.

I hope ya'll will want to join up after I make the pretty pretty buttons. Yeah, I said 'ya'll'. But I don't really talk like that.

Watch for updates on this tomorrow, fellow bloggers!
