At the fork in the road, take a right at the Dora the Explorer message board, drive past the Cormac McCarthy diatribe, and it'll be the first blog on your left.

Time for another check-in on words and phrases people are using on search engines to find The Toolbox. Search terms for today alone are...curious.

And some of today's search terms are (misspellings included):

1.) james joyce    (Hello to all the Joycean snobs!)
2.) vendela vida    (Apparently Jhumpa Lahiri is old news.)
3.) poems of poet craig moreau   (Because you're a masochist...?)
4.) are fsu students nice   (You apparently haven't met me.)
5.) blogger taiwan goes to jail   (Blogger Taiwan sounds like a bad Euro-pop band.)
6.) law school grads can't find jobs   (There's always Chick-fil-A.)
7.) miss usa motor boat sound   (Yes...these are my readers.)

Take a left at Ebay, go past the Rachael Ray recipe archive, and it'll be the first English blog on your right.

Last fall I checked in to see what keywords and phrases people used through Google/Blogger to read The Toolbox. What I learned was that Jhumpa Lahiri needs a bodyguard and some pepper spray.

It's been a few months since then. So, what's bringing people to The Toolbox this week?

Some of this week's top Google keywords (misspellings included):

1.) jhumpa lahiri  (shocking!)
2.) craig moreau  (sweeping the nation one sexy eye bat at a time)
3.) vendela vida  (the poor man's Jhumpa Lahiri)
4.) anglo saxon symbols (every day is Christmas here)
5.) byu code of conduct  (remember, kids--no mustaches!)





But weekly keyword totals cover a wide swath of searches. The Toolbox gets a lot of eyeballs. The real quirks show up in the daily keyword totals.

Some of today's more interesting Google keywords (misspellings included):

1.) hamsters and penguins  (Pssh, obviously...)
2.) "craig moreau"  (Quotes guarantee they find only THE Craig Moreau.)
3.) aintiant easter bunny  (Eh? Aintiant? Is that lisp talk for "ancient"?)
4.) amanda hocking spelling  (Is spelling a concern for paranormal romance ebooks?)
5.) justin bieber, liberty university  (The truth comes out about The Biebs.)
