My tweets of the last week:
- I hereby pronounce that all future walks to work must begin with "Hypnotize" until I know all of the words. Fastest walk ever. Awesome day. #
- How did I live without Notorious BIG on my iPod for all of these years? Unknown. ♫ http://blip.fm/~rope3 #
- @jtramsay Is that meant in a pejorative way? Otherwise, cannot parse. in reply to jtramsay #
- @jtramsay Ah, in that way. Agreed, but the National love is still busting out all over. They're Coldplay circa Rush of Blood. in reply to jtramsay #
- Our company interns start today! I love internship season. Nothing makes me more energized than having to act as a preceptor for someone new #
- Using #MusicMonday to catch up on albums I've been ignoring. First up, 2008 LP from Presidents of the USA http://bit.ly/bAOdTu #
- @br1o Je ne sais pas si je suis qui vous voulez trouver, mais je peux parler un peu de Francais si j'ai besoin. in reply to br1o #
- Next up on #MusicMonday the new Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings LP. One of my sleeper fav bands. Excited to hear it! http://bit.ly/avsEDu #
- Interesting quote from Philly.com: "upscale [NoLib] has been gentrified so dramatically … that many have come to think of it as safe" #
- @jtramsay Seriously; see also: "all of Philly proper." The only area that was already residential that didn't need gentrifying is S. Philly. in reply to jtramsay #
- @radiocolin I think it's interesting how people think gentrification erases tension/crime. Totally the case when we moved to our block. in reply to radiocolin #
- @radiocolin Is it endemic to gentri that people move in without integrating into existing community bonds, worsening this issue? in reply to radiocolin #
- @eddidit I don't know that I feel that way NOW. I guess the quote sortof put into words my wonder at how people ignore the history of places in reply to eddidit #
- Now up on #MusicMonday The Shout Out Louds LP Work. Lots of buzz on them, but I'm coming in completely cold. http://bit.ly/aBP2Hz #
- @jtramsay I think I meant "need" as in "needed before yuppies would move in there" in reply to jtramsay #
- Just had a life-altering salmon cake burger at the new place in the courtyard @ 20th & market, Du Jour. Hello, summer lunch spot. #
- @gregpalmer You still need something that's going to make you satisfied, or you're not full OR fulfilled! This from a longtime pescetarian. in reply to gregpalmer #
- Interesting commentary on NYT article: Bravo is "very research-oriented," uses SM to plan reality show plot lines: http://bit.ly/cDp46i #
- @eddidit I don't know that I've ever considered myself "totally safe" anywhere In Philly. Maybe just a product of my upbringing. in reply to eddidit #
- Awesome day will become awesome night: Seeing @conanobrien with a dream-team of @melissa_shae, @smashleydubs, and @brimil! Cannot wait. #
- Meanwhile, I have at least 2 entire blog posts in my head, one of which involves a picture of Jabba the Hutt, but who knows when I'll write? #
- 6mi of mixed walking, trotting, & jogging today. Supposedly doing at least 1d/wk bike commute from the new house (7mi each way!). We'll see. #
- This post needs to write itself to completion so I can head out to Coco's show. #
- I refer to this iteration of me as "70s AM Radio Peter" http://twitpic.com/1uvqil #
- @ssstaceyface what! Dollar dogs night now has vegan dogs! That's amazing! in reply to ssstaceyface #

- @SpockBUCKTON I was just thinking it's about time for a re-watch, except I'll stop before (or after?) The last scene of 4.0. in reply to SpockBUCKTON #
- @amanda_nan Wharton MBAs watch out, there's a new Nan in town… in reply to amanda_nan #
- @SpockBUCKTON Tiny Tyrol! in reply to SpockBUCKTON #

- @JasonDTremblay Agreed, I just wanted to hear him sing! What a freakin' voice. #pimpbot in reply to JasonDTremblay #
- Conan. Flyers jersey. 'Nuff said. #pimpbot #
- Trey Anastasio is playing, after Conan played Seven Nation Army. This is surreal. #pimpbot #
- Tina Fey. Allow me to repeat: TINA FEY. #Pimpbot #
- I love that both Kottke.org & Fury.com immediately thought to invoke David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest in their responses to videophoning #
- @k8tlevy Wow – a big change! I know it was long, but that was a very identifiable brand. Even if you change the Twitter, why the blog too? in reply to k8tlevy #
- @k8tlevy I like "fearless" as a theme to replace adventure – the grrl variant is not taken. in reply to k8tlevy #
- Argh, decisions with no right answer. I enjoy contemplating you, but I am not a fan of deciding you. #
- @k8tlevy Trying to find something that's more than just being outdoors – more about adventurous spirit :) in reply to k8tlevy #
- The last of my Trio of @conanobrien posts, my recap of Tina Fey's appearance (w/video!) http://bit.ly/ad3z1n #pimpbot #
- Showed our job/billing tracking system to an intern, he said, "Basically, it's like Twitter for work?" LOL'd at aptness; no wonder I love it #
- Text from coach @brimil re: my triathlon goal: "The bike rolls along & u have legs to run. It's really only drowning that'd be an issue ;) " #
- A positive end to @k8iedid's #Fairmount purse-snatching thanks to smarts, neighbors, and a nimble good Samaritan: http://bit.ly/ayGShd #
- My jog home was something less than "nimble," that's for sure. Took ten minutes of lying in a cold shower to relocate the will to live. #
- @amanda_nan I think you can actually hear my scream from the balcony when he says East Passyunk. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @storyspinner I have frequent issues; eventually just gave up and used YouTube. in reply to storyspinner #
- @cheryldoherty haha, I never did secure myself a bottle. I'm always on looking for it. I've been using Aussie leave-in conditioner mousse. #
- @kittyfunpuppy Deeply superficial *and* a huge music lover? You sound like my kind of lady ;) #
- @kittyfunpuppy Solo I'm acoustic pop, w/DiFranco alt-tuning influence on guitar. My duo Arcati Crisis is more indie-pop, harmonies & riffs. in reply to kittyfunpuppy #
- I'm ~177k words off from celebrating 1mill blog-words alongside CK's 10th b-day. Not why I'm posting more, but definitely a fringe benefit… #
- @RochelleVeturis mmm, I love rose-flavored food. Rose ice cream is so delicious it seems imaginary in reply to RochelleVeturis #
- @pattypunker Mine fluctuate 10-20 every so often, but not a lot more than that – and no bonus ones tonight. in reply to pattypunker #
- New Eggers-penned, Brion-produced Fiona Apple? Yes, please. RT @pamelaribon Yay for @826LA! I love Fiona's song: http://bit.ly/bTVYqv #
- My everything hurts, even after vigorous stretching. Think that's a sign that tomorrow is a break-day, which is great, 'cuz I have rehearsal #
- @MelissaRowley Is that newer than their Hall & Oates LP (have you heard it? awesome)? I'd love a Bird & Bee covers record of the Bee Gees. in reply to MelissaRowley #
- Today is light-but-persistent intellectual exercise. Sortof like being beaten about the head, but only with pool noodles. Still disorienting #
- @Not_Pele The heat-mapping is actually on Kottke today – I'm slowly but surely finding his upstream sources :) in reply to Not_Pele #
- @backonmyfeet Do you accept donations of new and lightly-used sneakers for your members? I have a pair I had to wear just once for an event. #
- I'm so happy to be rehearsing Arcati Crisis songs tonight, as otherwise I am in complete music withdraw as we pack things for the new house. #
- @cheryldoherty If it's actual stomach-lining ulcerish issues, DGL & evening primrose. If you're done vomiting, activated charcoal can settle in reply to cheryldoherty #
- @cheryldoherty had a bad ulcer a few yrs ago, those + otc prilosec helped. Caveat: dgl tastes like death, and you have to chew it. in reply to cheryldoherty #
- Mildly freaking out about the triathlon & I'm not even registered yet. The "no drafting" bike rules seem draconian & anti-racing-w/-friends. #
- @chrisfield Talking about doing NE Maryland Tri sprint. Used to the laid-backness of @ibxrun10 & am scared by the more official bike rules. in reply to chrisfield #
- @jshanley I appreciate there's no strategy, but you can't even draft to the side! Freaks me out to be afraid to be near people of same pace. in reply to jshanley #
- If I'm this crazily energized by working with our interns, does it perhaps suggest that I ought to be on-pace to become a manager? #
- Live Nation ticket survey forgot to ask why I'd prefer not to upgrade my balcony tickets – because sound in the 10th row generally sucks. #
- My row-home neighbors are renovating their living room & smoking pot all the while. It's seeping thru the walls. My parlor is like a hotbox. #
- @marykateruf That would be a relief. They're really not doing much except for propping up older artist and stealing people's money. in reply to marykateruf #
- Just unintentionally tweeted my 10,000th tweet as an @-reply, bitching about the record industry. ~1,400,000 characters later, same @krisis. #
- @djmarilyn I ridicule him on Buffy SO HARD. He is by far my least favorite cast member of the entire series. in reply to djmarilyn #
- @markb I just looked that up and it is a terrifyingly inspecific health problem, even if it is supposedly harmless. in reply to markb #
- What are our thoughts on the potential profitability of scalping Justin Bieber tickets? Parents easier to gouge when buying for kids, yes? #
- @mookyninja I don't post original stuff there, but there is a simul-post of my blog @ crushingkrisis.tumblr.com in reply to mookyninja #
- @djmarilyn But, hey, that doesn't mean he can't be nice to look at ;) in reply to djmarilyn #
- @PurpleCar I was sure I'd make a mint on Conan tickets, but apparently shiftless white yuppies got too used to watching him on tv for free in reply to PurpleCar #
- This is pretty awesome; go Philly! RT @radiocolin Parking meter poles are finally becoming bike racks http://yfrog.com/mnh89j #
- @StarrGazr It's funny, I've been tagging blog posts from 10yrs ago, and I still say some of the verbatim same stuff today. Just more gently. in reply to StarrGazr #
- @PurpleCar Okay, but if I can't sell them then you have to go with me ;) in reply to PurpleCar #
- @StarrGazr You've been so kind in replying to me since #140conf is there some content of yours I should take a look at? Blog, photos, etc? in reply to StarrGazr #
- @MOgulnick I must admit, it was a thrilling series. I can hardly be upset about them winning (a-hem, as opposed to certain baseball teams). in reply to MOgulnick #
- @lwcavallucci Well, I need a lot of new housewares to make me happy, so it sounds like a potentially great arrangement ;) in reply to lwcavallucci #
- @marykateruf All in all it was a very MKR-filled day ;) in reply to marykateruf #
- @MelissaSuzanne Melissa, I am so sorry to read the news of your grandmother's passing. All of my best to you and your family. in reply to MelissaSuzanne #
- @keithprivette Holy wow. I had no idea Twitter could do that. in reply to keithprivette #
- @k8tlevy Thank you for including me in the story! I'm really happy that you found something that resonated (and that I helped a bit ;) in reply to k8tlevy #
- I am lovin' life today. It's just great. Sending my good vibes to all of your Fridays out there, especially my friend @paweissenstein! #
- I am inexplicably feeling crazy gorgeous today, although I'll be pruning the hair back at lunch. http://twitpic.com/1vu9em #
- @meprieb I love the curly! It's just getting to be a bit of a mane in the back. I like it when it all curls up, like a bouquet of roses :) in reply to meprieb #
- @bengarvey haha, I think this is the pre-moving endorphin rush? I'm not sure. in reply to bengarvey #
- @iFreddie I didn't used to be a fan of green, but now my hair is longer it really pops on me. And camwhore? I have been accused of worse :) in reply to iFreddie #
- Anyone heading to the @philebrity happy hour @ Octo tonight at 6pm? East 100 are playing. #
- @leesa_up @mikeil @mikeydoc @not_pele Heard nothing but great stuff about @easthundred live. Also, want to check out Octo. Hope to see you! in reply to leesa_up #
- @mikeydoc Phileb just said band @ 7 in reply to mikeydoc #
- FLOVE @amandapalmer's ukelele & piano cover of Radiohead's "Idioteque" from her forthcoming RH uke covers record http://bit.ly/blog061110 #
- I love @amandapalmer's release strategy for this record: no CDs, limited vinyl, launch on @bandcamp where she's totally transparent re: fees #
- @Billy_Sea That's quite a list. in reply to Billy_Sea #
- Have spotted Joey; @easthundred is sound-checking. Good night ahead. (@ Octo Waterfront Grille) http://4sq.com/cjOzB6 #
- Octo is kinda awesome – open air deck bar & stage right on the river. Kinda jealous that we don't have a drummer to rock this with ;( #
- @gloriabell this may literally be the first time I've ever been to a Delaware ave bar/club other than D&Bs. in reply to gloriabell #
- @leesa_up @mikeydoc L, I should've guessed you'd be where good music is ;) find me when you're here, at the south corner of bar in reply to leesa_up #
- Seeing my dear friend & amazing singer Lisa w/her band Blueberry Magee (@ Lickety Split w/ 2 others) http://4sq.com/6mHHkm #
- I didn't realize how much I missed Blueberry Magee since they've been on hiatus. One of my favorite bands in Philly, still. #
- @cheryldoherty yeah, but that wouldn't be a vlid escape strategy – I don't think that qualifies as assault ;) in reply to cheryldoherty #
- @themartorana What?! That was a fixture of my college experience. Sometimes the thing that got me out of bed and onto campus was bubble tea! in reply to themartorana #
- @SecondandSouth thinking about peeking in later tonight – what sort of vibe is it? in reply to SecondandSouth #
- I want to go up to my office and DL @amandapalmer's "Idioteque" into iTunes but I cannot seem to stop listening to it long enough to do that #
- About half-way packed with five whole days to go! About to make our first trip to goodwill with clothes we haven't worn in 5+ years. #

- Yesterday Tori Amos delivered an amazing, career-spanning setlist in her solo Bonnaroo appearance; hear it now http://bit.ly/cUozFW #
- I'm super-excited to hear the solo "Secret Spell" and "Bouncing Off Clouds," both of which I spent a lot of time playing on piano in 2008. #
- @StarrGazr I'm always surprised people can portray her as talentless or not behind writing her own music. Clearly that's always been her. in reply to StarrGazr #
- I just paid >500% of the minimum donation for @amandapalmer's amazing cover of Radiohead's "Idiotque" @ http://bit.ly/aQtWV0 #
- Philly friends and fans: Gina & I are playing our only June show tomorrow as featured act at Triumph Brewery at 10pm. Fancy a Sunday beer? #

- @PAWeissenstein a little on the crazy size preparing to move, but in high spirits ;) in reply to PAWeissenstein #
- Just taught E how to play Rummy. She's like, "Seriously, can any game have rules this arbitrary? Who made this up?" Funny to see through her #
- @platypusjones Wow, I think that trumps @not_pele and I being rt'd by @syfy for Halloween! ;) in reply to platypusjones #
- I must say, @warrenellis's Planetary is 10x better the 2nd time through. What a masterful setup. This is why I love long arcs by one creator #
- @frankiethirteen Yes, for me he falls in the category of "great plots, uneven dialog." Sometimes gets to smarmy or minimalist to carry story in reply to frankiethirteen #
- Now I have to transform from lounger to rocker in about 10 minutes to get ready for our 10pm set @ Triumph, old city. Stop buy for a beer! #
- Come say hello to Gina, E and I before our set at 10pm! (@ Triumph Brewing Company w/ 2 others) http://4sq.com/i2lX3 #
- So, our brief Arcati Crisis feature turned into a close-to-full-repertoire set. These things happen. Good times, and good exercise. #
- I don't know if I've ever seen a movie trailer more ponderous and less enticing than that Mortal Kombat POS that's the rage at the moment. #
- One page away from being done with the blog feature I've been working on for the past four weeks. Sorta wish I had tracked my time. #
- @IONRyan I will ask Gina in the morning! We were just playing it in that context tonight ;) in reply to IONRyan #
- One day of work and then it's time to complete the packing apocalypse (packopalypse?) and get the heck out of here. Good morning. #
- @backonmyfeet absolutely – I work at IBC, so I can come by on lunch next week. in reply to backonmyfeet #
- I know my home PC was made of stardust by a team of unicorns, but it is too much to ask for my work PC to start up within, say, a half hour? #
- @HalleyAutumn I just get boggled by the small and weird-sized things. How am I supposed to pack my statuette of Nike of Samothrace? in reply to HalleyAutumn #
- Gee, I so wanted to spend ten minutes between meetings learning how to read Indonesian to avoid having someone camp my email address on FB. #
- The technology gods really hate me today. That's okay – I will still have an awesome week. The technology gods can bite me. #
- Alright NJ friends, here's your 1st notice: Our band & at least one other musician we adore play Collingswood free on 7/11, 6-9pm. Invite TK #

- @mayasalloum right there with you, babe. Stay sane. in reply to mayasalloum #
- Can it be a staycation if the place where I stay changes halfway through? No matter, grateful to have a week away from the office for moving #
- @allieharch I need to write that down on my arm or something. When I get stressed I just take on more stress like a leaking ship. in reply to allieharch #
