Update on statistics

I set up my blog on http://www.blogger.com/ in May 2010. Since then I have been gradually and, I have to admit, slowly adding to it particularly postings that relate to Paris restaurants that I have eaten at and movies that I have seen in the cinema. So, now at the end of October I was curious to see if people actually stumbled across my very young blog. I am happy to report that yes, there have been visits. It is early days yet but I would like to share with you some statistics so far.

Visitors
There have been 239 page views coming from France (105), US (40), United Arab Emirates (24), Russia (20), Germany (16), Iran (8), Canada (7), Singapore (5), Colombia (2), and the Netherlands (2).

Top page views
I think most people happen to stumble upon my blog and have not, as yet, started to read my postings. But it is interesting all the same to see the top five:

• 2010 Films Seen at the Cinema
• Les Marronniers - restaurant review
• Le XVI - restaurant review
• List of interesting people
• Les Mauvais Garçons - review of a barber

A very big welcome to you all. I thank you for your visit and that I'll have more postings of interest for your next visit!!

I enjoy watching these TV series both current and old. I have included links to the write-ups on Wikipedia. In the course of time I'll add my own commentary and interpretations.

• CSI: Las Vegas
• Dexter
• NCIS
• NCIS: Los Angeles
• The Mentalist

People who interest me

Since I was young, I have been always fascinated by people's lives. And this interest has extended to many dimensions: how they grew up; how they succeeded in life; what did they achieve; what were their problems and how did they overcome them; what made them become successful; what did they think; and what became of their lives in the end.

Of course, nowadays, we are somewhat intrigued by the more private lives of people and celebrities who are in the public domain whether actors, musicians, politicians, business people, royalty, rich people, through to those who gain celebrity reality television shows or their 15 minutes of fame. Yes, these all somehow interest me but it not only them.

I am also interested in people who appear in the news for only a little while because they have done something special, surprising or even notorious. So, I'll begin to share with you the people that continue to draw my attention. It will be an eclectic mix but hopefully you will find them interesting as well as I do.
