My second follower on Twitter is a porn bot, and other (semi) related stories.

So Twitter is turning out to be pretty alright. It's kinda like Facebook for people with short attention spans. I think one of the things I love about it is that practically nobody even knows I have one, leaving me the freedom to throw every single asinine thought that passes through my head onto the internet for the enjoyment of strangers. Much to my surprise, a day or two after setting up my account, I got myself a follower in the form of Brian Russell, who makes a webcomic called The Underfold. Just now, I got a second follower. The title should tell the rest of that story for me.

One of my very favorite things about having a blog is seeing what kind of searches bring people in. Not that I draw all that many people in or anything. Some people find my blog using mundane keywords like "graffiti on bridge" or "ebola skin", but my favorite, up until very recently, was some English person googling "tales of the boner" and somehow ending up here. But this week, I got a new favorite. Someone from India found my blog by typing "responsible fucking" into Google and hitting search. I'm surprised nobody has found this site by typing "lesbian" into a search engine. Maybe they've tried and got distracted by all the porn.

In other news, I'm still working on writing the songs for a new album. So far, I have 6 finished, 2 more waiting for that final spark of inspiration that will finalize them, and one that I want to write, though I have no music or words so let's not count that one for now. Titles are as follows:

Infidelity
When it Rains
In Your Car (Tuesday Night Rainstorm)
Menthol Memories
Another Bottle
Artificial Euphoria

Incomplete:

Burning Leaves
Song for Syd


I might just call it at that, release an EP instead of a proper album. I'm debating whether or not to do a cover on this one. If I do, I'm thinking either Octopus by Syd Barrett, Sister Golden Hair by America, or My Favourite Chords by The Weakerthans. We'll see what happens.
