revealing google's Inherent distrust

The guilt of living in the real world and thereby neglecting my virtual one, has finally become too much for me to bear. So, for you, a blog post:

(and this is a true story)

I wrote an email to a friend and part of that email pertained to how wonderful, patient, and sweet my husband is (not bragging, just saying). The very next time I logged into Gmail there was an ad (you know how they generate ads based on what your emails are about? yeah, one of those) that dumbfounded me. This was it, word for word:

"Is He Lying To You? Spokeo.com/Uncover-Liars - 1) Search His Email Address Fast. 2) See Hidden Pics & Profiles Now!"

O_o

WTF, Gmail? Why you gotta be that way?    

short personal Rant

I found this on Facebook and simply had to post it somewhere. It says what I have always felt about the Twilight Saga, in a much more intelligent and elegant way than I ever could have put it.

“But when a saga popular with pre-adolescent girls peaks romantically on a night that leaves the heroine to wake up covered with bruises in the shape of her husband’s hands — and when that heroine then spends the morning explaining to her husband that she’s incredibly happy even though he injured her, and that it’s not his fault because she understands he couldn’t help it in light of the depth of his passion — that’s profoundly irresponsible.”

People ask me why I don't like Twilight and I do not know where to begin. This review sums it up quite nicely, though.

We'll have to talk about this more later. Currently, I am in serious need of sleep.
