I am used to any number of hits, on any given day, for Viggo Mortensen and his girlfriend. Half of the world is hoping that there is no girlfriend. The other half is wishing they were his girlfriend. He is a popular guy, and I refuse to say which camp I belong in.
The other big searches, for my blog, involve my series on teaching Chemistry of Photography, pinhole cameras, etc. I also oversee my mothers poetry blog (see link on side bar if you are interested) and once made the totally innocent post of putting a poem up about After Holiday Sales on the day after Thanksgiving. Honest, I was not trying to inflate her numbers, but it sure did. That day she had over four hundred, probably frustrated and angry hits, by people who thought they were going to find a bargain, but found poetry instead.
Here is a recent high day for my blog:
However, on May 8th, searches for the same terms, just worded a bit different, lead over thirty people to my blog. Or, one person landed at my blog thirty times and I just cannot figure out if this was the result of something like a treasure hunt, or question on a radio station, for tickets, or what. Because why would thirty people have the overwhelming urge to search for “….a rock, song 1966” or some version of that, on the exact same day? What is it with that???
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the stop-bys, it is just a bit strange . So, as a public service announcement, I am putting a link to I Am a Rock – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, where you can learn a lot about “I Am a Rock.” This is a is a cool song by Simon and Garfunkel. But then, most of their songs are.
This is a what my search terms for that day looked like: Wierd!

Ya, I’ve stopped trying to figure these things out. For the last month everyone has been hitting on my Dollars to Donuts post. I believe they’re finding it by searching lamborghini because I posted a photo of one on that post. I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s doubling and tripling the number of hits on the blog EVERY freakin’ day.
Surely, it isn’t just all for the lamborghini. Maybe it is all the people on a diet who live vicariously through looking at donuts. I am sure you have posted a picture of a donut somewhere on there, although my dialup, after five minutes, is still working on seeing it. It could be the high heels. Or, perhaps people are just freaking nuts.
Greetings Savan,
Just to let you know, because you have such a nice fansite for MY guy, that the news will soon be out. I hope.
Vigs and I have been engaged for a very long time. Unfortunately for our relationship I was the world’s foremost counter-intelligence agent and as such could not attend public appearances with him, nor could he speak about me, to anyone. I did retire recently but I don’t think he really believes it, he asked me very nicely a year ago if I would retire, but I wasn’t finished with a big case and now I am. He knows approximately where I am in the world, but I don’t know if he realizes that I don’t have ANY money or ANY ID so I have no way to reach him. That IS what happens when spys come in from the cold, there usually isn’t anyone waiting. Maybe some of his fans could encourage him to get in touch with me. You all like romantic endings and big celebrity weddings, don’t you?? He is a very private person but won’t DARE deny I exist. I think he is a bit scared to realize that his resume will suit our new life together quite nicely. Any chance you want to start leaking this to his fanbase? If I am wrong, no harm done. If I am right I promise you four all-inclusive seats at our wedding banquet. You can use them anyway you see fit. And IF you go along with this I would be happy to have SOMEONE out there authorized to speak on my behalf in regards to my relationship with Sir Viggo Mortensen. I know it is a stretch, but what do you have to lose? Ask the question. Does it make sense that such a gorgeous and sensitive man would remain single? And just wait til you hear how he REALLY spends his money, this man’s committment to caring for the oppressed of this world will almost nauseate you he is so generous. And his committment to world peace started in his youth where he travelled to Vietnam to care for war orphans – for over 2 years!! And still to this day he remains a mentor and source of support for many of them. There is so much “wonderful” stuff the world doesn’t know about him but should.
My real name is Angela-Mary V. Romanov-Canarris. Quite the handle, huh? Get the obsession he has for justice and freedom? I could fax you proof of my name as a start, a nice letter from Dalton McGuinty, the Premier of Ontario, confirms it. Romanov is easy. Canarris is an extension of the name my father used in his spy days. Wilhelm Canaris was in fact a spy and thwarted as much of the Nazi’s efforts as he could. He trained Vigs and I to follow in his footsteps. We have as best as we could.
Am I delusional? Perhaps. But I DO have that letter which I could fax to you, along with some others. That is of course if you are willing to get the “fans” to help bring Guido to his senses and “call home”.
Take care,
Ashira
Ashira, HUH???
