My tweets of the last week:
- Finished another song for @ericsmithrocks‘ soon-to-be-released book. Need to exercise my voice a few days to record it; lots of long phrases #
- Apparently I just had to finish the 2nd song to write the 3rd song. It was a critical path, you see. So, now I have 3 @ericsmithrocks songs. #
- Typical: of the 2 new songs @not_pele likes the weird alt-tuning song in 3/4 with cliche lyrics and not the big, catchy, syncopated pop song #
- Today so far: @nanowrimo novel writing, songwriting, tidying, nap. Songwriting, blogging, songwriting, tidying. Now back to novel writing. #
- Okay, this is too hilarious: I unintentionally built a long technical name central to my novel that has the acronym “krisis.” Seriously. #
- Sunny, chilly, and I love it. Also, way better looking than when I woke up. http://twitpic.com/351gx2 #
- Um, now that I see that TwitPic larger I’m seeing how you didn’t all jump in to proclaim my handsomeness. But, I swear, it exists! #
- Alright, hopefully this more accurately depicts why my narcissism is on high alert today. http://twitpic.com/3527bw #
- The new @sarabareilles LP proves to me that I can still pick up a good album that’s not a challenge to love. My Instant adoration continues. #
- @eedawson The more I listen the more I think it’s easily in my top five of the year. The tracking is smart. Even the ballads are great. in reply to eedawson #
- I won’t lie – I’m pretty impressed that after a week I have the highest @nanowrimo word count of any of my friends of friends. 18,669! #
- @brianalynch But I’m only on chapter 7! Hope it’s a good sign that there’s meat to it, but 50k will be 18 chptrs, which isn’t the whole book in reply to brianalynch #
- @brianalynch PS: Jealous you’re already at work on your MA in comm. I want mine, but wedding/house had to come first for budget purposes. #
- @brianalynch Working in my favor is that every 1-2 chapters should equate to one issue of a comic book, so they’ve each got their own arc. in reply to brianalynch #
- @brianalynch Seriously! I like my Novembers insane, but that’s beyond what even a communications masochist like me would submit to :) in reply to brianalynch #
- @amanda_nan What would you say in place of “blah blah blah” or “yada yada yada” – is there a Southern version? in reply to amanda_nan #
- I think my biggest complaint about the suburns so far is that no one carries our brand of ramen. #
- @lisamay77 @amanda_nan I love my proliferation of southern consultants for this single supporting character. in reply to lisamay77 #
- @amanda_nan ooo, we didn’t think of that! They’re already keeping us in Special K. cc: @not_pele in reply to amanda_nan #
- Wired covers my friend’s “mobile, dexterous, social” Navy robot, especially deadly when engaged in Rock, Paper, Scissors http://t.co/R5Wqt3r #
- Previewed the new @ibx media campaign, which uses a @_brendanbenson tune. The TV spots are awesome; one made both @melgreiner and I tear up! #
- @MelGreiner @melissa_shae @marykateruf When the couch ad wipes from the take-out food-ish dinner to them sitting w/wine glasses it KILLS ME. in reply to MelGreiner #
- Handy RT @ryandaniel How To Pick Winners Randomly For a Blog Competition http://ow.ly/36UyO Fairer than picking the entrant w/ coolest name #
- Interesting glimpse into Paramount’s rights to produce Dune, & how high profile properties can cost studios http://t.co/fSX06RJ @slashfilm #
- Holy crap, @arcati81‘s song about Board Empire is amazing. I will definitely get a video of it next week. #
- A beautiful thing about playing gigs in a band where I’m not the lead singer is I can afford to shred my voice recording my own demos :) #
- I am borderline obsessed with the video demo of my new song, “End With Me,” inspired by @ericsmithrocks new book: http://bit.ly/bMOfAK #
- @RbRocWitMe @THEkrismohfanz Thanks for linking to my new video! I cannot get that song out of my head, & it’s awesome for others to hear it. in reply to RbRocWitMe #
- @ericsmithrocks No one is going to get the bit in the 2nd verse about the sugar glider until after they read the book ;) in reply to ericsmithrocks #
- If you’ve never heard @not_pele‘s @filmstarband (w/whom I play bass), check their FB page for a slew of new videos: http://on.fb.me/baEMSu #
- @JettSuperior As that still as weird for you to type as it is for me to read? (I mean the Sam part, not the drill instructor part). in reply to JettSuperior #
- @NellFerragamo Wow, I really wish I was at this event, the insight sounds super interesting! in reply to NellFerragamo #
- (and, if you like what you see/hear in those videos, @filmstarband is playing tomorrow night at the M-Room on Girard, set @ ~10pm) #
- @NellFerragamo I’d love a peek at the recap! And, yes, it’s been utterly too long since any semblance of catching up. Will you be @ BarCamp? in reply to NellFerragamo #
- CAN read my, CAN read my, pa pa pa pokerface. Seriously, I need a stoneface cop to my overly-enthusiastic cop unless it involves home repair #
- @SteveCis Lookout – your three PCG interview links are broken! Hope all is well. Gonna be at BarCamp on Saturday? in reply to SteveCis #
- @SteveCis Boo, I was looking forward to catching up. They’ll melt reserves even w/the $5 buy-in, but I’m not sure what the waitlist sitch is in reply to SteveCis #
- Schrodinger’s Copy Edits: Your copy edits from design are both correct and incorrect up until you state your intent to proof them. #
- #1 Favorite Candy Bar: Take 5. Runner Up Candy Bar: Payday. Lifetime Achievement Award Candy Bar: Butterfinger. #
- VF interviews Darren Criss, who was amazing on Glee this week – http://bit.ly/d7SNZs -he created & filmed two Harry Potter fan-fic musicals! #
- @KateFromage Picture it: chocolate. caramel. pretzel. peanut butter. peanuts. ALL IN ONE CANDY BAR. #Idiealittleeachtimeieaton #inagoodway in reply to KateFromage #
- @KateFromage I’m so happy that we share a brain for when I run out of characters ;) PS: Did you see/hear my new song? http://bit.ly/bMOfAK in reply to KateFromage #
- Nine years ago a night at home coding PHP was, like, my entire life, and now it’s something I begrudgingly get around to once every quarter. #
- Damn you, self, why did you have to be so freaking good at PHP four years ago? #
- PHP5 issue defeated! My songs database is almost up and running again; good thing, as I have a backlog of new ones to enter! #
- @THEkrismohfanz This has been holding me up from writing/editing songs for almost a year! I can spare another few minutes ;) in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
- Apparently I’ve written 20 songs this year, of which I’ve finished four. This is what happens when the database is down – pandemonium. #
- OH: “What do you want to do for lunch?” “Where do they sell deep-fried alcohol? Because, that’s what I’m in the mood for.” #
- @BarCampPhilly OMG, for a minute there I thought I had somehow mistakenly signed up to give a session about Paris and had a total freakout. in reply to BarCampPhilly #
- Just had my boss declare a 10-minute break so she could educate me on the music of The Hooters. #
- @amanda_nan Could drop them a line and see if they still need volunteers. in reply to amanda_nan #
- Note to future self: iPod earbuds are not a bolo whip. You will not snare any prey, and will likely lose an(other) earbud. #
- The weekend begins! I hope you fine Philly folks will be at my Philly bass-playing debut tonight @ the M-Room w/ @filmstarband ~10pm. $8 #
- @sarahcooley you’re in town for @barcampphilly?!?! in reply to sarahcooley #
- @attila Timer. Wonder Boys. Many Star Treks. September Issue. Red Balloon. Also, all of Veronica Mar and 30 Rock. in reply to attila #
- @paullucci For all my wide expanse of 80s music knowledge it’s possible I don’t know a single Hooters tune. Recognize, maybe, but not know. in reply to paullucci #
- @missrogue I shared that thought with the source of my quote and she seemed to heartily approve ;) in reply to missrogue #
- @IONRyan Did you wind up being in Philly tonight? I can’t remember which direction your plans changed in. in reply to IONRyan #
- @bengarvey I real dig visualization, but it’s not a strong suit of mine. Do you set it up, or just like seeing a variety of it from others? in reply to bengarvey #
- I am always a part of the most punctual musical act on any given bill. #
- @attila Fyi, I would classify some of them as chick flicks. But, actually, not Timer – surprisingly good. in reply to attila #
- I am now officially a bassist in the city of Philadelphia. There was a ceremony. It was touching. #
- Now I have to turn off music brain for a little while and get into Barcamp mode for bright and early tomorrow! #
- @parkview Ha, as long as they keep paying me by letting me borrow their amp and shoot lots of video I think I might be safe from the tax man in reply to parkview #
- @THEkrismohfanz There are a slew of rehearsal videos on the FB page this week, hit up @filmstarband for the link. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
- Oh yeah, and that novel I’ve been stuck on for the past four days. Need to get over this 1/3 hump and keep writing towards the exciting bits #
- @b_katt There is no shame in that. I am widely known for my love of breadless pb&j sandwiches. in reply to b_katt #
- @DannyBrown @patrickbjohnson I’ve absolutely no idea what we’re talking about, but if it’ll help me break my plotter’s block pls send a link in reply to DannyBrown #
- So, post-rock-show me apparently needed three extra hours of sleep more than he needed to be early to BarCamp. I’ll just be fashionably late #
- @theoreticalgirl hey, i’m still en route. Are you doing that feminism panel? If so, when? #
- @heathie I’ll see you soon! what’s the url for the digital schedule? Trying to plan my day while still en route ;) in reply to heathie #
- @Jenniferalyse when I was younger I felt selfish about it, but i’d rather live on in someone else’s body than be dead in an expensive casket in reply to Jenniferalyse #
- @heathie wow, looking very tech heavy right now! I remember more social science type stuff last year. in reply to heathie #
- @sarahcooley you can put one of your stars on it for me right now ;) in reply to sarahcooley #
- Really impressed with the organization of #bcphilly this year – more info, more fun stuff, better scheduling. A class act through & through. #
- @barcampphilly #ohai #musician #singer #songwriter #blogger #narcisist #project manager #DIY #autodidact #curious #critic #
- @gloriabell I really loved TrendCamp in reply to gloriabell #
- I’m not by any means a developer, but still fascinated by @opendataphilly‘s initiative to release open source 311, police & other gov’t data #
- @shunmahoney In a session called “zombies in the workplace.” Seems like the sort of thing you might appreciate. #bcphilly #
- “Red tape is a thing the man built between him & you to protect him from you … you’re going to fall in love w/it, like Stockholm Syndrome” #
- @heathie omg, my sesh is talking about how “social” can be “fail”! #
- @SteveCis @anniemal E and I watched Reality Bites together on our first date ;) in reply to SteveCis #
- @SteveCis and so many things right! I love her singing, and she’s hilarious. Bummed her big singing gig is mostly this country music movie. in reply to SteveCis #
- For CC and #bcphilly folks who are out to lunch, there is awesome acoustic music at Naked Chocolate on 18th above Chestnut RIGHT NOW. #
- @k8iedid what?! You were there and I missed saying hi to you? in reply to k8iedid #
- I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Martin guitar with a cutaway and a gloss finish before. I need it. New fundraising goal established. #
- @not_pele dude, check this out: alexandra day, vicky spaeth, andrea nardello, christie lenee, adam monaco. Maybe not going back to #bcphilly #
- @not_pele she is playing the little brother christmas song, I am going to cry my face off #
- Met a slew of amazing folks in the last 20 just walking to them & saying hi. Netted @enjyn swag. Now @sarahcooley‘s Community talk #bcphilly #
- @I676 what room is that? Sounds cool in reply to I676 #
- I’m in a room with men& women having a civil, insightful conversation about feminism in society & science. Awesome. #bcphilly cc: @arcati81 #
- @trevmex I can’t believe I walked into a session and sat down directly behind you ;) #
- @Jennyfur I was so excited when I walked in the room and you were there! in reply to Jennyfur #
- @Jennyfur it sounds like total fun, but I had standing plans tonight. I should know better than to plan against a social media afterparty ;) in reply to Jennyfur #
- @LenKendall totally agreed. There are only 2 or 3 cable channels producing shows I care about, and get most via netflix/hulu/web. in reply to LenKendall #
- Harry Potter marathon, Chinese takeout, riesling, & sleepover w/ @not_pele & @amanda_nan. Does a Saturday night get any better than that? #
- Quick break from Potterthon to do a first run of my @ericsmithrocks soundtrack songs with my super-amazing harmony jukebox friend Kate. LOVE #
- @jayvert I hear you’ve got a Textual Healing song up your sleeve as well? in reply to jayvert #
- @ryandaniel Um, PLEASE YES. That would be awesome. in reply to ryandaniel #
- @MelGreiner You should have come to do a wine workshop at @BarCampPhilly – I keep meeting people who are reading your column! #
- Revealed a blog-secret to the Potterthon crowd: daily re-reading of Tracy Jordan’s “I just made that up right now, ’cause that’s how I flow” #
- @k8iedid It was my second one. I was constantly scanning the hashtag for people I knew, but I saw you too late! in reply to k8iedid #
- @jayvert I need to get on recording mine. Next weekend, I think. in reply to jayvert #
- Potterthon continues w/Poinsettias for my lady friends! I think it’s physically impossible to stay awake for the 3rd one after the first two #
- @WWLoriHC So happy I said hi to you! I hope your week is as smooth as possible. Maybe lunch sometime; I only work two blocks away ;) #
- @sbastn Your #bcphilly presentation was wonderful &relevant to much more than programming. One of the best sessions I’ve been to, anywhere. #
- @jayvert Dude, you have a Breaking Pangaea band shirt on? Was casual Drexel acquaintances w/their drummer, apparently now in Straylight run? in reply to jayvert #
- Just ordered a kick drum mic and a compressor – Arcati Crisis studios is ready for a full band attack next weekend from @filmstarband! #
- @jayvert They were so good! My friend Laurel was tight w/them, and I’d go w/her to see them in Philly. Haven’t thought of them in years! in reply to jayvert #
- Hard to pick a fav moment in a totally awesome weekend; may have been hugging @AndreaNardello ~20x. Still has a shot by E as her profile pic #
- @SSCapeMay Do you already know dates / application deadlines for the March 2011 festival? #
