I find it amusing and slightly annoying that any time I Google search something, it remembers that and places strategic ads on the websites I go to, such as YouTube. Now, I know that YouTube is tied in with Google, which is why the ads show up there all the time, but I would still like some kind of variety. Hulu, for instance, shows completely random ads that have nothing to do with anything I'm ever interested it. They have surveys every once in a while to see if they can better cater the ads to you, but it's never something I'm interested in. It's too bad Google and YouTube can't be that way.

The odds of me ever actually hitting an ad, on purpose, are less than slim to none. The only time I ever click on them is when my cursor isn't directly over the 'x' when I click. Or if I'm trying to pause the video I'm watching without looking where I'm clicking.

Anywho, I was supposed to go shopping today, but that's not happening. I just got lazy. I slept in, which felt good, but it didn't exactly help motivate me to go out and be productive. Tomorrow, however, I'll get everything done that I was meaning to do today. I have to get used to not napping after work anyway. If I'm going to be working 20-25 hours a week, with only 4-5 hours a day, then I'll be working pretty much every day I wrote down that I'm available for. So starting tomorrow, I'll have to up my productivity and cut back on my lethargy.

We'll see how that goes. . .

Until then. . .

You can actually change how Google shows ads to you. I've opted out of all the interest based ads, personally. If you go to

http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

and scroll down to "Transparency and choice" then click on "View and edit" you can change stuff.
