I like to keep an eye on how people are finding my little spot on the web, sometimes, it can be pretty humorous.
Someone today found my site by googling "Zach Braff is a jerk."
Quite a few people have come here through the blog catalog, because I used the tag "boobs" on a couple of posts. Sorry guys, this is one of the few sites where there most likely will not be any photos of boobs.
I've gotten people here who are looking for some bands, such as Rock Plaza Central, or quotes from books (like Seymour, an Introduction)or songs. "I'd Go the Whole Wide World" seems to be popular lately.
I've had a couple of people who are looking for Iowa City food. Which makes me happy, I hope I've helped them out
But my absolute favorite google search that has brought people here, the one that makes me feel like I'm really something, is one simple word:
BEEYAH!!!

Dear Zach Braff,
Are you seriously out to get me? Do you want to reduce me to a whimpering pile of pathetic? Because if you keep it up, you may just get me there.
First item: Garden State. The first two times I watched this movie, it had different affects on me. Initially, I watched it right after my girlfriend at the time left for school. You had the whole part about leaving someone you cared for/were in a relationship. The second time was the night that I found out my grandma died, and I had to leave for Arkansas the next day. The movie starts with your character's mom's death, and you have to leave for New Jersey. Not quite the same, but close enough to slightly bother me. Plus, I always felt like I should like this movie more than I actually did, sorry.
Second item: The Last Kiss (fixed, thanks Haley!!). I don't know if I need to say too much about it, other than it left me feeling empty and sad.
Third item: Scrubs (season 6). Some not so funny moments, some very sad moments. And come on, your (for this, you=JD) girlfriend gets an internship a long ways away, and you have a long-distance relationship. Ok. Then, you go see your girlfriend, stuff happens, you talk about staying together, that the internship will be over and she'll come back and you guys will be happy. Turns out the internship was parlayed into a full-time job. Are you serious? Were you hanging around my house last summer to get story ideas? And then the relationship ends. Come on man, why you even gotta do a thing? Seriously, that hurt. A little too close to home, if you will, especially the timing of the initial airing of the episode. Honestly, a week later. A week. (I cannot emphasize this enough, the coincidence between my situation and what was happening in the show was almost too much for me to take.) Next thing you know, you're going to be moving away, going to Boston. If that happens, I swear I will demand royalties. Really. I know this guy, Bill, who knows where the show is filmed. I've been there, we have pictures to prove it. We'll stand outside of Sacred Heart and demand retribution. Or at least an apology, and a speaking role in an episodes, with proper compensation. I could be a patient who has glaucoma, but is morally opposed to marijuana. That'd be good, right? Sure, it maybe wouldn't have the drama aspect you seem to be aiming for lately, but I could just be a small part of the episode. Maybe the main story can be about some soon-to-be music teacher developing some sort of painful, fatal disease, discovered when he goes in to get his knees examined. You know, just to turn the knife in my back one more time.
I hope you've learned something from this, and maybe do a story arc about your character winning a million dollars, or do a movie about someone who makes an improbable run to the Major Leagues at the age of 26 or 27. I'd appreciate it.
Sincerely,
The Flenker (a.k.a. your inspiration)
ps - this is post 99. The next one will be a special one, I promise!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
The wind's howling outside, but I'm nice and cozy inside. I'd probably be nice and cozy outside too, thanks to my new coat! It's not exactly the one I wanted, but this is very comfortable, very warm, and has very very soft pockets. Now I just need to get some gloves, and I'll be set for whatever winter has left to offer. I am heading north in a week, so I'll be prepared.
I couldn't have had better timing on my purchase today, as soon as I left the mall, the snow started falling, and the wind started blowing. I thought we were going to be getting what everyone out west was getting, but it died down eventually, only leaving a little less than an inch of snow, from what I can see. But apparently that didn't stop Gov. Culver from declaring the whole state, all 99 counties, a disaster area. And I guess that there are still over 30,000 people without power across the state. It's just been a wacky week of weather, starting with the 60 degree temps last week, then the ice storms, now blizzards across the state. Oh, Iowa, your unpredictability makes me love you. When it's 104 degrees with 80% humidity in a few months, I'll be pining for these days. I'll take cold over suffocating heat any day.
In other news, Zach Braff is out to make my life miserable, I'm convinced. The last few episodes of Scrubs I've seen, along with the movie he stars in, The Last Kiss, all have just gotten me down. What a jerk. Now that I think of it, the first time I saw Garden State I had a similar reaction. It's like he's watching me, and coming up with ways to torment me. Not cool man, not cool. Luckily Will Ferrell can bring me back with Stranger Than Fiction, and Steve Carell with Little Miss Sunshine. Thanks guys.
The Royals lost their first Spring Training game today. After scoring 4 runs in the top of the 9th to take a 6-4 lead, they allow 3 in the bottom to blow it. I'm not going to put too much into this very early game, but it's a trend that better not continue. That's a part of their game that I'm hoping they can improve upon and gain a few more wins. Last year they lead the Bigs with something like 24 blown saves. If they can cut that in half, there's my predicted 10-15 win improvement right there!
Also in sports, it was brought to my attention that Steve Alford should be the coach of my All-Ugly team. After the way the team has been playing under him, I would tend to agree, there's no word better than ugly to describe some of the losses this team has endured. So welcome aboard, Coach. Sure, your dad can be on the staff. Be sure to wear the warm-ups you had on during the last Wisconsin game. (I like how they kept showing Alford in an Iowa "rugby" shirt and warm-up pants, while they showed Bo Ryan in his decently nice suit with white tennis shoes. Yet they never said that it was all for the "Coaches vs. Cancer" day, on which coaches wear white tennis shoes, and due to that, the Iowa staff didn't wear suits. They didn't mention this once in the telecast that I noticed. Instead, it left people wondering if Alford was heading to Denny's afterwards.) Haley has put up her All-Hottie selections. I'm convinced that my team would handle the three-guard look and the wear down the thin bench without a problem.
