separated at birth?

Too much info?

You may have noticed the ads. I know that in the blogging world they are frowned upon, and I’m sorry for their clutter, but hear me out:

I’ll try to make a long story short. They’re there because I am a work-from-home single mom whose ex is hiding in another state doing menial work under the table to avoid paying $50,000 in back child support. (You know who you are and yes, I found your MySpace page and am WATCHING you, asshole). For the last 15 years I’ve had an undiagnosed disease which has ever so slowly eaten away at my time, energy and body until the sudden realization that only being able to work 2 hours at a time without resting WAS NOT NORMAL. No need for details, but I’m dressing as the pirate “One-Lung-Lassie” this Halloween. Arrggh, Matey.

So, part of fixing all of this is finding better ways to support my family, and since I feel very strongly about the issues I ramble about on AngryMobof1, I’ve added ads.

I believe that most people are wise enough to know what ads are, and avoid them if they wish. It’s also quite ironic that many of the ads, which are chosen by Google based on keywords in my posts, directly oppose my opinion (right now you are probably seeing ads to HELP OBAMA WITH HIS HEALTHCARE BILL… I don’t think so, thank you anyway). It may be fun to try to play with this i.e. what keywords generate the weirdest ads? The most conservative ads? The most liberal ads? I would love to hear your suggestions. Or, anything thing else you have to say.

R.I.P.

Our DVR broke yesterday and it will take a few days to get a replacement so I won't have addresses for Old Media News sponsors until next week. In the meantime I'll be mourning the loss of 30hrs of movies I was saving for a rainy day. On the bright side, the 32 episodes of iCarly "someone" was saving for historical value? Gone.

I recently signed up for Twitter and have been having fun finding people to follow and reading some tweets. I thought it kind of weird to have people following me, as I am tweetless, but eh, maybe they want to sell me something (like the hookers-- who knew HOOKERS twittered??) I haven’t twittered myself yet because it really freaks me out that I have no idea what all those hash marks and symbols mean so I’ve been too skeerd. So this morning this is in my email:

And I realized that the very first tweet I ever twit will go to none other than “The Architect”.
