Today and yesterday have been particularly Hard Work. I've been researching like mad for the dissertation, and as anyone who has ever accidentally become addicted to Wikipedia will know, it's like getting trapped on an infinite loop of knowledge and wisdom acquisition. The more you absorb, the bigger your headache gets until you have to go and eat something to distract yourself. This is not good for the body or for the dissertation.

This said, I've got a decent number of replies to my questionnaire (however less than I had hoped initially). The problem now is the dissection of the masses of blog posts and journal entries I'm trawling through in order to cobble together some comprehensible rubbish. You've probably already have noticed that I'm positively overflowing with words that haven't been used since 1952.

Also word related, I thought I'd share some of the interesting things that Google Analytics has pulled in for me in the past three weeks since my initiation so graciously arrived in my Junk Mail. It is odd to think why people might possibly locate me using some of the odd combinations these Google searches consist of. But search they do, and my site continues to respond. Here are my favourite things that if you search for will bring you back here...

• Zeppelin cider
• totty
• vis a vis cotteridge
• benji bridge convention
• gynaecologist operation figure like virgin
• sex traffikers
• egotistical bastard
• beer-o-matic

I'm quite pleased that egotistical bastard is up there, although I'm not entirely sure why. I am also intrigued to know what I have to do with sex trafficking, as I don't think it's generally one of those things you get into without noticing it.
