Ooh, Visitor Stats...Shiny!

The other day I finally decided to check out that "My Guests" function on LJ and realized, dear goddess, I'm becoming one of THOSE people.  A Stats Hussy.  (As my friend Lady M told me years ago, "A whore does it for money, a hussy does it for free.")  Not that there's anything wrong with that, or anything.

I have readers in the Czech Republic and even in Kuwait and Vietnam. Go figure! You'll love this feature.

Oh dear, watch me spend hours checking out stats when I should be writing meta. Or doing housework.

Did I mention that my sweetie sold a painting last year on ebay to a buyer from Austria? It was a small landscape of a stream with rocks etc in the woods, and it was painted somewhere in New England but reminded him of a landscape near his home. My partner was all, "Eh, I've only sold one painting this season, I'm not making any money" and I was, like "Austria! You sold a painting to someone in Austria! You can say on your bio that your work is in international collections and it's true!"

Apparently she does not share my enthusiasm. Then again, she's trying to make money - as a Buffyverse fan I'm not. (Even if I should be.) but, still - millions of things available for sale on ebay and someone from Austria, for pete's sake, found her painting and liked it enough to buy it! Where's the bad?

Hee!

I think that's great! And she should modify her bio to describe herself as an internationally known artist!

Exactly! I've actually done that for her because I handle all the writing bits (she gets final approval of course.)
