Crazy

Eeek do we really have to wait another day until the Sabres are on again? Ugh.

I was playing with Google Analytics earlier (inspired by Shara's ramblings of earlier and since I haven't done it in a while I thought I'd dig it..

October 9 was a popular day for my humble blog. I got 57 pageviews! WHOAAA!

And seriously, people who search my blog- I DON'T KNOW WHERE TRAVIS RYCROFT IS PLAYING THIS YEAR. I have not spoken to Rykes in more than 2 years. Got it? I know he's hot, I know he's a great dude, he's a fun hockey player. What I *DON'T* know is anything about his current life. But you keep searching it. So more power to you but just be aware that this blog is not a hotspot for Travis Rycroft sightings. ;)

I think the best search term I saw was "heatherB style". I did use that exact phrase once but it's a cool one since HeatherB is awesome.

And I had a visitor from the United Arab Emirates- how cool is that? (they actually have hockey there too, btw) and one from some weird hard to pronounce town in south central Russia. Fun times.

And that's really the coolness of the day.

P.S. My sis comes home from Iraq in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time for some fun analysis

Have I mentioned lately that I love Google Analytics? It's hilarious. Let's check out my keyword searches:

"dion phaneuf has an annoying voice"
- I particularly enjoy this one since I have never heard mr. Phaneuf speak, much less commented on the fact. He does have creepy eyes, which I think I mentioned a few posts back but I fail to see the connection. It makes me LOL though.

then it gets interesting. There are 2 recurring themes, Derek Roy and Travis Rycroft.
We have:

Derek Roys Girlfriend
Derek Roy AND girlfriend
Derek Roy girlfriend- x2
Derek Roy's Girlfriend - x3

my goodness, someone is curious. This one almost makes sense, seeing as I discuss Derek Roy so very often, and have actually used the phrase "derek roy's girlfriend" before in jest. But still, that's a lot of searches about the same topic. I am pleased to see that the one with the most searches is the one that is grammatically correct at least. ;)

then we come to Mr. Rycroft:

Travis Rycroft Girlfriend
Travis Rycroft Pictures
Travis Rycroft 2008
"Travis Rycroft"
Travis Rycroft- x3

For a guy who doesn't play for the Sabres, he's sure attracted a lot of attention. And since I only mentioned his name once, in passing, it's even more surprising. Although I can see why ppl want pics of Rykes, he's a very attractive man-

Exhibit A:


Exhibit B: (he's the one on the right, obviously)


But.. while I did work for the Utah Grizzlies for a year when he was there, that was 2 years ago and I have barely spoken to him since then. I don't know anything about his girlfriend, though he didn't have one when I knew him, and though I do have some other pics of him, I've never mentioned it before in my blog. ;) But again, I could talk about Travis all day long. He's a great guy and a decent hockey player. He's very hard-working on the ice, and that counts for a lot more than just points. ANd did I mention he's gorgeous? Cuz he is probably one of the most attractive people I have ever known. Ever. But he's not an asshole. He is a genuinely good person. He was probably one of the most attentive listeners, especially among hockey players, that I have ever encountered. I interviewed him for the radio (one of my many jobs, and the most fun of them all, when I was with the Grizz) and his interview was far and away the best one I had. And he was randomly touchy-feely, in a non-creepy way. He's just come in and put his arm around me and ask me to fax something, or situations like that. and I can't say that I minded too much.. ;)

Anyway there it is. I could go on about him, but I'll spare you. For now. ;) In case any of my random Utah visitors sees this- say hi to him for me, eh? ;)

I think that's enough for now. a nice trip down memory lane.
