My tweets of the last week:
- @saraiderin I’ve been eating healthy all week to get through this insane weekend, but the abs aren’t getting any closer this way… in reply to saraiderin #
- @LaPhemmePhoodie What’s worse is that the constant D really dries out my voice, makes long sets like last night a trial to get through. in reply to LaPhemmePhoodie #
- @LaPhemmePhoodie Might be worth talking about. On days like this I’m completely non-functional. In highschool I had trouble crossing streets in reply to LaPhemmePhoodie #
- Incorporating social media into existing work projects – so inviting, yet so fraught with difficulty and chances to be fired. #
- @Not_Pele @amanda_nan Next week is the @ocelotonaleash show, and I’m not sure which nights they need me to house manage (or similar) in reply to Not_Pele #
- Amazing: Seattle’s Make-a-Wish foundation turns an 11-yr-old into a superhero for the day. http://bit.ly/8Yj5hq @schmidtultra #
- We’ve now posted nearly 3,000 photos from yesterday’s Blue Cross Broad Street Run! http://bit.ly/cSKrWk #
- The Philly Phantic, defeated by Broad Street: http://bit.ly/bmHJjl #
- It is Tuesday, and I’m pretty sure this day will not be awesome for me, so I’m genuinely hoping it will be awesome for you. #
- In other news, I’m prepping for our meeting to watch @hankwasiak‘s talk from #140conf Very amusing to make handouts from my own blog posts. #
- Co-worker’s young son got a phone, fell into Google Buzz from Gmail & was overwhelmed! What are good training-wheels SNs (games?) for kids? #
- @thatdrew You have a whole world of friends who are stronger than any cancer. Just means we have to get our blame-on even harder this time! in reply to thatdrew #
- @SarahRobinson I don’t think my hair rates as “awesome” today. After a hard-working weekend I’m just a little wilted – need a true day off. in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @kaytee_did Seriously, all of those serendipitous catch-phrases are rather pain-inducing, aren’t they? Trying to make it through unscathed. in reply to kaytee_did #
- @brimil Hi, my name is Peter and I have way too many vacation days accumulated. in reply to brimil #
- @mariatsciarrino I’ve been telling people about our session & they all say “Whoa, that’s awesome.” I think we need to develop it further ;) #
- @mozellamusic You’re going to be in NYC again? And, on a Thursday? I will do everything under my power to make it up to see you this time. in reply to mozellamusic #
- Hour late for my after-work obligation; had the edge slightly taken off by @amanda_nan riling me up via txt. Meanwhile, I need to play music #
- I can’t tell you where we just were or why, but it was for something REALLY GOOD (NOT a baby). If you have spare fingers, cross them for us. #
- @kaytee_did Well, you were right this morning – the day did end up being more awesome than it began ;) in reply to kaytee_did #
- Lee Dewyze is one of the worst vocalists (& phrasers) ever on American Idol; it will be an utter embarrassment if he reaches the final. #
- I ended my walk to work belting “How Will I Know” in the middle of our lobby (much to the amusement of co-workers), I’d say today is awesome #
- @maura I definitely consider that constantly – we’re all living in a paparazzi culture, and can be shot doing anything at any time. in reply to maura #
- Could this day possibly get any crazier? I’m thinking “no” #
- I was wrong. Today just doubled in crazy. Vying for “craziest day ever.” RT @krisis Could this day possibly get any crazier? I’m thinking no #
- Things that are so offensive that I’m left speechless: Family member saying a neighborhood is “too diverse” for her. Hi my wife is NOT WHITE #
- I am so angry right now. Don’t say “diversity” if your issue is that your lily white block is getting muddled. Just say you are a racist ass #
- I guess since my wife is only HALF Chinese she wasn’t “too diverse” for racist ass to deal with, so we still got a wedding gift. #
- I am officially breaking up with TODAY. I just cannot deal with its drama. I’m already seeing tomorrow, and I like it much better. #
- @lisamay77 When people say “you can’t choose your family,” I always think, “true, but you can’t choose for them to NOT be your family.” in reply to lisamay77 #
- We didn’t take anyone’s advice about our wedding, & it was amazing. I need to learn to trust the wisdom of us when it comes to big decisions #
- What’s the biggest single check you have ever written? Mine was for E’s engagement ring. I shook like a leaf from the bank to the jewelers. #
- @theoreticalgirl I went to Robbins, they had fresh baked cookies. Ultimately, more appreciated (and comforting) than beer :) in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- If a stranger likes how we distributed money into certain buckets & certain other buckets then he might agree to sell us his house on Friday #
- (…and, for the record, the engagement ring remains the biggest SINGLE check I’ve ever written.) #
- @inflammatorywrt @wockerjabby I kinda laugh every time I see the pile of money we’re about to exchange. Such a pile! in reply to inflammatorywrt #
- @amanda_nan Because we all read @philebrity? in reply to amanda_nan #
- Awake from bad dreams about too-little closet space & other meaningless 1st-world issues. Yesterday left me derailed. I need an awesome day. #
- @gloriabell Hugs right back. I really could use another burst of friendly SMC faces soon, but it’s looking like I can’t do the conference ;( in reply to gloriabell #
- In the door @ 7:15 in full workout regalia after a obscenely fast walk/trot to work. Pretty sure a lady on the elevator was checking me out. #
- @mariatsciarrino Major good vibes transmitting in your direction. in reply to mariatsciarrino #
- What did I miss in your life yesterday? My tweets were a lot about me and my grumpity grumpness. I’ve had enough of that. #
- @HalleyAutumn I don’t know if it was the proximity of the full moon to Cinquo or what, but everyone I know is having a case of the crazies. in reply to HalleyAutumn #
- No word at the end of day one of our offer on the house – 24 more hours make the difference between homeownership or back to square one. #
- Unsure on my feelings. I think the house is marvelous & worth every cent, but this all happened SO fast! I’m still trying to process it. #
- @cheryldoherty I am encouraged to see that news feed is the only thing on that list of ten that still warrants my participation. in reply to cheryldoherty #
- @cheryldoherty I noticed that in the “Top News,” but my “Most Recent” is still chronological in reply to cheryldoherty #
- I’ve decided for every day to be awesome I have to not only LOOK awesome but FEEL awesome. Walked in again today after walking 6mi yesterday #
- @cheryldoherty haha, it’s been a little wild this week. Might be time to tame it a bit with a trim. in reply to cheryldoherty #
- @beth_warren I often wonder about that – i think i’d have to put on some semi-business clothes to reach peak efficiency. in reply to beth_warren #
- @ryandaniel I don’t even know how to respond to that statement. Every article about her in RS mentions whiskey & blowjobs in the subhead. in reply to ryandaniel #
- Love when my iPod plays an unknown song comes & it’s terrific. Turns out I know the singer this time: @leesafar! “All This Fear” is amazing. #
- We have a house. WE HAVE A HOUSE. omg. cc: @smashleydubs @wockerjabby @amanda_nan @inflammatorywrt @tangofoxtrot @mayaREguru @PAWeissenstein #
- @mayaREguru I have such a story for you. The past 72hrs have been the most insane of my entire life. in reply to mayaREguru #
- @paullucci I’m so excited to be paying myself money every month. I have lived in rented houses for the entirety of my life. in reply to paullucci #
- @jayvert Thank you! I actually brought my electric and an amp to play in the house before we offered to test acoustics/bleed-through. in reply to jayvert #
- @cheryldoherty I am so damned excited for equity, you have no idea. I have lived in rented property my whole life. All that money, wasted! in reply to cheryldoherty #
- @mpomy The feeling is presently 60% excitement, 25% nausea, 10% disbelief, 5% WTF we just saw this house for the first time two days ago. in reply to mpomy #
- @marksherrick Thank you very much! It didn’t seem like it was ever going to actually happen, yet here we are. in reply to marksherrick #
- See, clearly all of your collective twitter finger-crossing starting from Tuesday night worked out :) #
- @eedawson I think a significant portion of my excitement might have to do with the epic house-warming party you will be invited to :) in reply to eedawson #
- @inflammatorywrt I think that captures it exactly. Also, now I can play electric guitar at any hour of the day! Best fringe benefit ever! in reply to inflammatorywrt #
- @melissa_shae Being at the expo last Friday seems like a year ago. Will go down as the craziest seven days of my entire life. in reply to melissa_shae #
- @Insomniac_Love Thank you! Miss you! Is summer season karaoke hanging-out about to begin again? in reply to Insomniac_Love #
- @schmidtultra We are in Drexel Hill – my first non “Philadelphia” mailing address! Crazy! in reply to schmidtultra #
- @SarahRobinson Indeed we did! Had just about convinced myself they wouldn’t accept (owners are in Europe, so it’s already bed-time for them) in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @cheryldoherty Definitely. We tried a few years ago when prices really bottomed out, but it just wasn’t the right time for us. in reply to cheryldoherty #
- Fun fact: the first thing I did after talking to E about the house was tweet. You have seriously become my network of trusted friends. #
- @CateTV I am in my corporate habitat at the moment, so no joining in for me. This is my sole social outpost during the day ;) in reply to CateTV #
- @eedawson It is a minor backyard; the one concession was it isn’t a huge lot. Big enough that you can’t hear me playing guitar from outside. in reply to eedawson #
- @inflammatorywrt It is a proper single home – something I have never, ever lived in. in reply to inflammatorywrt #
- @inflammatorywrt It’s actually in an adjacent suburb – I guess as far away as Queens is? There are hardly any singles in Philly itself. in reply to inflammatorywrt #
- There are women who wear shoulder pads to make their waists look smaller, & then there are some women who wear them because they tackle hard #
- @inflammatorywrt We currently live 2.5 miles out of the dead center of the city; we’ll be moving to 8 miles from the center. in reply to inflammatorywrt #
- I don’t know why my brain works like this, but I spent the last 3 hours learning how every closing cost is calculated & making a spreadsheet #
- I had briefly forgotten about this gorgeous photo of my wife, shot during our engagement (in someone else’s dress) http://bit.ly/aJ3HIK #
- @magaIicious Hi! I’m following you because (a) I agree (b) you work in Philly, in advertising (me too!), & (c) you’re friends w/@anniemal in reply to magaIicious #
- @ellenrossano Interesting. I feel like it’s more valid than FB-judging an employee, who clearly isn’t going to shotgun beers in your office. in reply to ellenrossano #
- I’m like, “Can’t we just pack now? Their house is empty. Certainly it couldn’t hurt to move in early, after the home inspection?” #
- @ellenrossano I think if I was renting I would definitely search the web for my tenant, & if I thought they’d be a harm/nuisance I’d reject. in reply to ellenrossano #
- @ellenrossano Because, there’s a correlation – not wanting someone with lots of house-party pics to live in my house. I’d still hire them. in reply to ellenrossano #
- @wockerjabby Wow, that’s also a very major development to occur in 2wks. I’ll see your dog & raise you a lawn to walk him on when you visit. in reply to wockerjabby #
- @ellenrossano I guess re: work I’ve known some hard partyers who are fantastic co-workers, so I’m not as prone to discriminate? ;) in reply to ellenrossano #
- Upside to new house – already know what room will be my recording studio (!). Downside – probably no new stuff until we’re there & unpacked. #
- Attention Idol fans! @EWMichaelSlezak‘s interview w/Siobhan is epic & hilarious: http://bit.ly/dDpOaw I want to listen to & hang out w/ her! #
- @GinaBiz I had no idea! That was my first bank; I learned to sign my name in cursive so I could open an account when I was six. in reply to GinaBiz #
- Arranging harmony for a new Arcati Crisis song! Gina usually writes it, but this has weird-ass chords & a 70s disco bassline. Too fun not to #
- @amanda_nan Mine are completely merciless – bad in the morning, but absolutely paralyzing at night around 8pm. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @Nourishingyou In a few weeks we’ll be moving to a town just next to yours. I’d love to pick your brain about healthy choices in that area. #
- Finally saw Hurt Locker. VERY well-acted & engaging, but ultimately a brutal, plotless war cartoon. Not a Best Picture; I get Best Director. #
- @Cecilyk Yeah, I was flagging in the back half. Kinetic, but no plot, not much personal investment. Don’t understand the win at all. in reply to Cecilyk #
- I am so intellectually burnt out from the past week of crazy. I think this is just going to be movie night for me. #
- Now if only I could think of somewhere that delivers ice cream… #
- @PopTrashBeauty We don’t get broadcast at all, so I only watch things in retrospect on the net. I usually only like the cold opens, anymore. in reply to PopTrashBeauty #
- @HalleyAutumn I mean, there are ice cream trucks, but I think in this neighborhood they mostly sell drugs… in reply to HalleyAutumn #
- Oh, good, just what I needed: another minor-key, alt-tuning ballad about the underbelly of Philadelphia. Cause I play the other one so much. #
- @Not_Pele We need to figure out where there is sushi in Drexel Hill. in reply to Not_Pele #
- That said, I am kinda impressed that I figured out a way to play Fsus2b5add5 on guitar. #
- Actually, it might be F6sus2b5add5(maj7) by the time I do my hammer-on at the end of the picking pattern. #
- @edwardnotcullen Wow, thanks for following all the way from Brazil! You can hear some of my music @ http://bit.ly/pmbbdv01 #
- @smashleydubs Can you help us? RT @krisis: @Not_Pele We need to figure out where there is sushi in Drexel Hill. #
- @PurpleCar I actually quite like the one I’ve already got, but it’s hard to play and very subtle for me: http://bit.ly/99W1il in reply to PurpleCar #
- @Jenniferalyse I have plenty of vodka, so if you bring some ice cream we’re on. in reply to Jenniferalyse #
- @CarrieP I don’t know that I have ever achieved that feat. in reply to CarrieP #
- @MattJH I am a fan of the B7 in second position – such a crunchy chord. Sounds like you are a fan of “I Put a Spell On You.” in reply to MattJH #
- @PurpleCar I have, on occasion, taken a swing at others’ lyrics. Sometimes if they have a rhythm to them the melody is obviously. in reply to PurpleCar #
- @edwardnotcullen Do you know Drexel? Many of my songs were written there – it was my college for five years! in reply to edwardnotcullen #
- @edwardnotcullen I wanted to write the Inquirer when I was younger – I got my degree in journalism. Now I work in business communications. in reply to edwardnotcullen #
- @TechFrog I had a similar issue with Chase – was using a CC for smaller balances, and they halfed my credit limit – major impact on my score in reply to TechFrog #
- Wow, SNL has completely taken over the Philly trending list, and I’m sure the Hulu videos will be everywhere tomorrow. Well played, SNL! #
- I was watching videos of Courtney Love earlier today, and Molly Shannon’s SNL take on her fits right in: http://hulu.com/w/41m #
- Scarlett Johansson may be my third favorite person/thing on Earth at the moment, after my wife and our new house. #
