I’ve written from time to time about people’s Google searches that land them here, most of which are a little strange.  Often what I’ve written in the posts they land on in no way helps them.

But we all search odd things from time to time. 

Just a few weeks ago, I Googled “thumb twitching” after — you guessed it — my thumb was twitching.  In 1812, I would have sat there wondering what malady had befallen my limb, but thanks to modern technology I know it was most likely stress-related.

More fun are my recent searches related to the book.  In the course of writing I have run across several instances in which I needed a detail for my character — usually one of the females — and had absolutely no idea what would be realistic. 

That’s why my search history has things like “eye shadow color for green eyes” and “updo.”  Last weekend I was trying to describe a waitresses’ eyewear, and to get a proper mental picture I did an image search for “old lady glasses.” 

I’m proud to report that all three searches were wildly successful.

[Sidenote: I find it fascinating that Blogger, a Google product on which I am writing this post, flagged the word “Googled” as a spelling error.]

Since people like pictures in these posts, let me share one I took during my commute home this morning:

If it looks Instagram-y, it is.  Find me at cjhannas.
