I love the whirling of the Dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence

So I wanted to let you all in on a little experiment I am going to conduct. A while back, I wrote about a really bad vaguely "adult" movie I had channel surfed upon. Since then, I have had an amazing quantity of traffic from search engines, referring to this site based on the title of that movie.

I think this is really pretty funny, given how many other sites actually have something to say about the movie and I really didn't. I have not tracked this traffic but it does seem cyclical. I have no idea what it is tied to though. It just seems rather strange.

Here is my experiment. On Sunday, a day I rarely write, here at least, I am going to post an entry describing a really, really bad movie (of the same ilk) that I partially watched. It was so bad, I was mesmerized. I consider myself a connoisseur of the bad and this really stinks. So, I am curious, how much people are searching for information on this movie, given how bad it is?

I know that many people will not understand why I am doing this. It might even seem a bit manipulative to some people. But I think that since no one is being injured by my little social experiment nor is their privacy being compromised, no harm is being done and it is something that I am curious about.

So don't read Sunday's post if you do not wish to read a relatively work safe account of a bad soft porn movie.

I am thinking about running away and joining the circus. If I am going to have to juggle this many things, I may as well be wearing a spiffy costume and eating popcorn and peanuts.
