Not only is Twitter failing me today, but then my Web site was down for a couple of hours. I need to EMOTE here, people!

I started being able to eat solid foods again yesterday — eight days after the food poisoning started. But now it comes to mind that this is more of some sort of bacterial problem. (Picking up strange bacteria? In Las Vegas? I’m sure that’s NEVER happened to ANYONE!) Which, yay, just what I needed. I still feel like ass but I’m too busy lazy to call my doctor. I hate going there.

In good news, however, I just found out that an advertisement I wrote on Monday pulled in $5,000 overnight. Go, me! Apparently it was the headline that pulled them in, ’cause I’ve used the same tired copy a few times before but the title was fresh! fun! exciting! and all that jazz. Now another marketer said she was going to use my idea in one of her slots. Heh. 😉 It’s all good — the more money we make, the bigger the bonus pool!

Got so much to do before the long holiday weekend — and no strength or wherewithal to do it. Calgon, take me away. …

Reader Poll Monday Tuesday Wednesday!

1. Is it just me or have all the cool websites been having technical difficulties today?
That’s because all the cool kids are using them!

2. What’s the last movie you saw?
On the plane from Vegas to Cincinnati, I saw “Bridge to Terabithia”.

3. What’s the last good movie you saw?
Uh. … Can’t remember the last time I walked out of a theater feeling good about the money I dropped on a show.

4. If you were paid $10 million, would you be willing to have a 1″ tattoo (of your choosing) applied to the middle of your forehead?
Nope — the government would get half of it anyway.

5. Welch’s juice commercial kids: love ’em or hate ’em?
I want to shove those little bastard children straight back into their mothers’ hoo-has.

6. What is your current must-have software/plugin/online tool?
None, really. I’m thinking about buying a new computer; who can actually afford shit to put on it?!?!

7. Do you have any live plants in your home?
Hell naw. Cats would eat them.

8. Quick, make up a word and tell us its definition!
Lord, I make up words all the time. I call my mom’s boyfriend “pudgefuckle.” Sort of a cross between pudgecicle and chucklehead. 😉 Actually, I was just being lazy and sort of wasn’t sure what to call him so I slurred them together.

9. Do you love eggs from your head down to your legs?
The thought of eggs just totally made me throw up in my mouth a little!

10. Ask me something.
What day will RPM take place on next week? 😉

We’re having some sort of blogging summit thingy at Ye Olde Employment Establishment today, to tell us how to craft better blogs. And the people in the building who already blog are invited (i.e., yours truly and the rest of our esteemed group — dude, saying you have a blog automatically makes you one of the cool kids there), and some of the “better” bloggers are going to get up and share what makes their blogs successful.

Should I be offended that no one invited me to share how the magic happens here at Chez Caterwauling? 😉 *sniffle*
