How about Two-Post Tuesday? I didn’t think that the earlier one was much of a post, so here’s another one! Don’t forget to scroll down and leave a word in the comment on that last post.
I Google–as I’m sure you all do, too–a lot. I decided it would be interesting to keep track of everything I’ve googled for a week. The title of this post has no meaning, other than it is what I decided this post should be called in the wee hours of the morning. Just goes to show one should not entitle blogs in the wee hours.
Anyway, here’s what I googled last week:
On Monday:
June 20005 – Great, start the week with a typo. Did you know the zip code 20005 is in DC?
June 2005 – Got it right this time. I was trying to figure out what day I moved to North Carolina.
inconsiderate – Checking my spelling.
[something for work] – Yep, it comes in handy for work.
father’s day 2009 – Making sure I really did have a week before I needed to get the cards in the mail.
plural of summons – My boss asked me; I asked Google.
irregardless – Curiousity got the best of me after a comment discussion about grammar. Looks like it actually might end up being one of those words that was born out of a mistake, but will now be okay. Irregardless, I’ll choose not to use it’s redudancy. (Sorry, OneMom!)
bing-a-thon – Saw people talking about it on Twitter to I had to figure out what it was. Interesting advertising strategy. (funny, I used Google to find out about it’s competitor!)
the secret message of Jesus – I think I was making sure that the author was “Brian” not “Bryan.”
On Tuesday:
links in twitter – Trying to figure out how best to put links in Twitter.
arsenic – Haha! I think I was talking about it in a comment on another’s blog?
[person] – Yep, I googled someone.
ronnlynn xanga – Continuing my quest to figure out when I moved to North Carolina, I had to resort to my pre-blog history. It worked!
define: jovial – I frequently google a word to make sure I’m using it correctly.
forsake father and mother – I was actually looking for a verse as it related to Pilgrim’s Progress, but it didn’t contain these words so it made it difficult to fine. Finally figured out that this was the passage I was thinking of.
On Wednesday:
[person] – Googled another person. What did they do before the Internet when they wanted to find out about someone? Ask the town gossip?
chortle – Checking the spelling. I use some strange words in comments, don’t I?
locale – Ditto.
dill cream cheese crousant dip – Umm, that’s not how you spell it.
dill cream cheese croissant dip – That’s better. Too bad I was looking for crescent not croissant.
On Thursday:
define: bungle – Once again with the comment vocabulary!
i’m a celebrity get me out of her – Another misspelled google, no wonder I see so many in my stats…we’re all lazy! I had to find out what this show was about to see if it was as ridiculous as it sounded. Yep.
On Friday:
follow friday – Once again, saw it on Twitter and had to check it out. I guess it’s a weekly thing, but this was my first Friday on Twitter!
define: disparage – Checking spelling again.
make me want to schoop – Okay, it’s “shoop.” Heard it on the radio this morning, and I had to figure out what year it came out, because it definitely reminded me of my childhood. 1993. I was 10.
$5 pizza – Trying to figure out which places offer ‘em to bring to care group that night.
pizza hut coupon code - Decided to go with Pizza Hut instead, as it’s good quality (well, for this type of pizza) and on the way. Didn’t need to do this though, because they actually give you their coupon codes on their website, which was very kind. Gotta love ordering a pizza hours ahead of time.
define: self-absorbed – Crack this up to pre-lunch brain spasm. I know what that means.
So what do you google?
