Blog Stat Phenomenon
Odd.
Very odd.
After months averaging at around 20 views a day.
91 views? 9-1?

My blog stat chart looks crazy. It is like driving near Mt. Shasta. Sure, there are other hills near by, but out of nowhere pops up this huge, snow-covered behemoth.
I think it is safe to say that the “day of 91″ is a phenomenon. It is the result of luck and Internet mystery. Soak up the wonder, folks. Soak it up.

Blue Shirt Monday
Blue is an awesome color.
Blue is flattering for lots of different people.
However, a problem arises when numerous people in a small span of square footage all decide to wear blue on the same day.
Today is an unplanned Blue Shirt Day at my office– unless of course there was an office memo that I missed but subconsciously knew about. Yes, males and females alike, me included, are wearing blue shirts. Not just any shade of blue, no sir. Light blue is the chosen color for today.
I have not witnessed this phenomenon, in such close quarters, since high school. Starting in grade school, the phenomenon would occur sporadically throughout a given school year. Of course there were the students who planned to dress alike and the schools that required students to dress alike; the phenomenon discounts such instances.
The same-clothing phenomenon is illusive, unpredictable. Yet, every one is bound to have fallen prey to the force at one point in time. Outside of today’s office instance, the last time I fell victim to the phenomenon was during my third year of college. After a particularly heavy night of drinking, dancing, and accidental cactus plant needles to the ass, my boyfriend and I decided to take a morning stroll to assuage our hangovers. Mere feet into our jaunt, we realized that we were wearing the same clothing colors. While he wore a red sweatshirt and blue shorts and brown sandals, I wore a blue sweatshirt and red shorts and brown sandals. Spooky. I can’t justly say that the same-clothing phenomenon is what caused me to vomit –chances are the booze I drank was the real culprit– but the sight of our unintentional cuteness was a bit overwhelming.
And so, upon noticing the presence of the same-clothing phenomenon at my office, I kept my yack-reflex at bay today and traveled to the depths of my memory in search of a relevant movie clip. Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried in Mean Girls [Hit mins 1:40 and 2:40]. Though the pink day in Mean Girls is planned, today reminded me of this scene.
