ltmurnauI have just reached the 10,000 hit mark on my website since it was created in early 1998. Hooah!
Then again, my short article on the Bonus Army of 1932, found off the main page, is north of 23,000 hits barely 13 months after posting it. Despite the small but significant error I placed in the paper, I am sure it is regularly downloaded and handed in under who knows how many different names. Perhaps in time it will become a staple of American fake scholarship - even Jayson Blair had to start somewhere. (Try and figure out that reference in about seven months.)
Yet despite that disappointing statistic, today I helped a student in need. She actually asked permission to use and quote from my short article on the Cultural Revolution - of course I was happy to help, and was duly informed that I rocked her socks! I like talking to people who take the time to ask, they are pretty interesting. I have had enquiries from all kinds of people, from housewives in Germany to people from National Public Radio. This is why I put my little research pieces up on the Net. That and the ego boost, yes.
I'm feeling odd today - woke up with a stiff neck and shoulders, still cracking and popping on me. Have been yawning all day despite sleeping "enough", well more than recent nights for sure. At least it's a lot cooler this week, the heat wave is gone.
I'm getting excited about tomorrow night, a Goth friend is DJing at a cafe that has an upstairs room so at last there will be some good intense music to listen to in Victoria!
My garden is doing really well so far, though I have planted only a few things - daikon, spinach and cucumbers. Zucchini later. My opium poppies are coming up really nice and thick, have to thin them out mercilessly or they will all be eight inches tall. I expect large numbers of red and purple ones this year - the blue ones did not do well last year so not so much seed to go around.

PS I just went to turnitin.com and made a user profile to check to make sure if Mr. Freeman really didn't lose my floppy and had checked it with the site. And, yeah, my paper is listed, so yay :) I'm happy. Unfortunately, since I did not personally turn my paper in to the site and Mr. Freeman doesn't let us see the originality reports, I can't check whether or not turnitin.com believes that my paper was plagarized. (I did't, of course, but some of my paraphasing might be similar to other sites . . .) :( Oh, well, I'll find out Monday . . .
