Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

well these lists show the movers and shakers of searchable terms - they are not the "absolute most popular terms" (i can only imagine sex, porn, iraq, and britney spears would be on that list) but they are the "most increased" in popularity according to Google Zeitgeist

I don't know what Irq or spore creature creator are, and I don't want to look them up because it'll boost their statistics, lol.

Thanks for the informative post...

Sad to think that I added to a number of those searches...Spore Creature Creator = FUN for hours!

hi Tabitha,
thanks for stopping by!
oh come on now you have to tell us what it is - is it a video game or something?

Spore is a computer game....which has just been released. And I'm serious when I say JUST. Like today.
Spore Creature Creator was a pre-release free download of the beginning of the game. Major fun. In a nut shell, it allowed you to create "creatures" kind of like monsters and dinosaurs. Hours and hours of fun

hi Tabitha,
thanks for the explanation!
i know plenty of computer nerds who would be very interested in such a fun sounding game, i should ask around and see if ive been missing out on something great!


hi Cheryl,
haha another sucker!


hi Louie,
well that could either be a good thing or a bad thing, the interest in "Climate Change" must have been constant over the last few years (ie: it is not a fad) but whether it is consitantly high or low im afraid i do not know . . . i would expect "Global Warming" to rate relatively high over the past decade, we studied it at school
