By the numbers
14 - Approximate amount of hours I've spent repairing my almost damaged lawn.
1 - Number of times I should have pressed the easy button to fix the lawn, as that would have saved me 13 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Hindsight is 20-20.
1,838 - Number of times I've listened to some version of the song "Apache" since watching the "Evolution of Dance" video linked in this post on Gia's blog. While I'm most familiar with the Sugar Hill Gang's version, I have since found 50 other versions of the song, plus another 50 that have sampled some of it. Fresh Prince of Bel Air fans might recognize the song from this clip, from the episode where Will and Carlton entered a dance contest.
19 - Approximate number of times I've found myself doing the dance in that Fresh Prince clip over the past two days -- whoops, there I go again. Make that 20.
48 - Number of sites I follow through my feed reader of choice, Net News Wire. One tracks CNN headlines, one ESPN headlines. The rest are blogs. This is why I have trouble keeping up with commenting on your site. Sorry about that. The list of blogs is sorted in order of how much I like you (don't tell everyone else, but your blog is on top because you're my fave).
0 - Number of people Jack Bauer killed in Monday night's episode of "24."
at least 5 - Number of people I would have killed if I was playing the role of Jack.
8,229 - Number of times daily I check StatCounter, down from approximately 10,000. I'm getting better.
1 - Number of Google search visitors I hope to NEVER SEE HERE AGAIN:
8 - Number of times the boy is likely to have bumped his head during the time it has taken me to compose this post.

Wow. A lot of people look for Steve Harvey's hair eh? Who is Steve Harvey? I'll have to look his hair up on google. I'll probably end up back here.
Katie said:
Oh wow. You check stat counter that much? Well, it makes me feel a little better about my own addiction. Thanks!

Love the Priate look. You are oh so very Johnny Deppish.
I think I'm going to start using "Deppish" as a word.

I used to do the Apache dance on a daily basis in high school...
And yeah, 24 was a little disappointing this week.
Cate said:
Maybe if you checked StatCounter less, you'd have more time for commenting on my blog.
Glo said:
I'm most disturbed by the "trying to tickle" search...uhm...if you're looking on the Internet for it, I doubt it's innocent...
mep said:
Yeah, I used to check statcounter all the time. Until I realized that no one visits me anymore.
Now I just check my yahoo tech buzz score. :)

I almost rattled off a chronological list, but I actually had to go downstairs and take a glass of water to successfully resist the urge to show how much of a music nerd I am.
Monkeybutt!

10 hours : how long it takes for me to come up with an intelligent enough comment on this site.
looking back, I probably should add an hour more. or three.
people need to start finding me through google so I can be addicted to statcounter too!

I echo that sentiment syar. I'll come here witty repartee in mind, and then lose it when it comes time to type it out. Like E.D. but I have P.D. Post Dysfunction.
As far as this whole blog entry, I'm convinced that it's some sort of numerology code gone wild. The scriptures say that all forms of divinification including numerology is of the devil, so I can't comment today. Oh wait a minute......

Omar's a pirate.
Wow.
I don't think I'll ever recover from that one.
You think you know someone, and then you go AWOL for a couple of weeks...sheesh.
P.S. Am glad that 'monkeybutt' is not a delicious word to you.
