we're at Warhammer 40K

Sometime before midnight, my site visits passed beyond 40K for the month. Strip away the bots, and that's more like 20K visits by actual humans. Is this worthy of congratulations? Not really. I get these weird "growth spurts" almost every month, and I still don't know why it happens, so I can't claim that my blog has any special merit. It's just interesting every time there's this weird flurry of statistical activity, and it's mostly thanks to those flurries that I make my monthly quota of honor. I'm betting February is going to be lame, though: under 20K. February's a shorter month, too, so there are fewer days in which to make the quota.
