My tweets of the last week:
- @jennlyn81 Doors at 6pm, show at 7pm, we're around 9pm. in reply to jennlyn81 #
- Back from Best of Philly Sycamore: table by drafty door, no server for >25mins (not even drinks!), then said dish I wanted was 86'd. We left #
- Maybe best that we didn't wind up staying – nothing sounded especially palatable. Apparently "Fine American Bistro" is AKA "Not For Peter." #
- Dear @ew – if your "live blog" requires running an app to read it is not a live blog. It is some sort of awful, RAM-sucking, AOL chat room. #
- @romez The fish was the only thing that I would have willingly paid to eat – everything else was meat or had weird combinations I dislike. in reply to romez #
- @romez I think it'd be perfectly fine for most, especially the adventurous, or carnivores. They had rabbit! Make a reservation, for sure. in reply to romez #
- Chris Colfer! #
- @AroundMainLine Truly? That would be wonderful, as this misfire scuttled our anniversary dinner. We're quite eager pescetarians, really. in reply to AroundMainLine #
- Have I reached an age where I actually appreciate Hugh Grant as an actor? Because, that is an age I hoped never to reach. #
- @inflammatorywrt He used to be especially repulsive to me when I was younger, but now somehow I can enjoy him. in reply to inflammatorywrt #
- @movie_pundit I've been waiting for a full attention span, since I presume it's somewhat subtitled. in reply to movie_pundit #
- @ShellyKramer @pattypunker She is a dead ringer for his Thin White Duke phase, for sure. in reply to ShellyKramer #
- Drove for the 1st time since the 90s, now watching Empire Strikes Back on the big TV & eating our favorite Chinese food. Perfect anniversary #
- Good thing I got up an hour early, as it took half that long to go one mile on my trolley after almost meeting my death walking up our hill. #
- @jennlyn81 you have to pick something that can sustain your interest (and adapt) without effort. Otherwise it's just another chore. in reply to jennlyn81 #
- @jennlyn81 Look at blogs/sites you read most. I was trying so hard to write about things I wasn't even interested in. Write what you like. in reply to jennlyn81 #
- If your 1st bullet is "Quality Assurance" you should probably QC your matched mailing to make sure I get the right letter. /cc @transperfect #
- Duh: if your matched mailing is just a letter & a brochure, use a windowed envelope w/the letter and lose the cost/quality issues of match. #
- Oh, hai, Outlook that is not delivering any emails sent to me today. That is really handy when I'm trying to finalize two big deliverables. #
- @theoreticalgirl @jennlyn81 Made more hilarious by the fact that, being me, I had sent about 5 reminder emails (and couldn't see responses). in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- @sethgoldstein Made it in okay, but the on-foot part was definitely the scariest. in reply to sethgoldstein #
- @amanda_nan @melissa_shae Thanks for the happy wishes! It was a perfect lazy day together augmented by 2/3 of the original Star Wars trilogy in reply to amanda_nan #
- @Not_Pele i was wondering about that. @eedawson in reply to Not_Pele #
- @OnTymeMusic Language around the link that let's me know the artist is relevant to me, followed by the person tweeting (reliable source?) in reply to OnTymeMusic #
- @ericasbs I cannot run without the theme from Buffy and Hypnotize by BIG. All other songs negotiable. in reply to ericasbs #
- @ajohnsru I had a business lunch there in the fall and I'm dying to go back. Everything was amazing, and I love the decor. in reply to ajohnsru #
- @GirlsRockPhilly There were <8k spots left as of last night, so if any unregistered runners want to join the fun they need to sign up ASAP! in reply to GirlsRockPhilly #
- Psyched for @SMCPhilly tonight, a discussion on how not to burn out on blogging lead by @CecilyK! (I'm sure I'll share some thoughts, too :) #
- @LaPhemmePhoodie @allthingsgwen Awesome! I'm so excited to see you both! in reply to LaPhemmePhoodie #
- @anniemal Anytime I look forward to @SMCPhilly a part of that is also looking forward to whatever conversational hijinks I get into w/you ;) in reply to anniemal #
- Today's @LivingSocial deal is $20 of Amazon.com spending for $10! If you're the @Amazon junkie I am, this is can't miss http://bit.ly/eWMXSX #
- Can't argue with heading down to a meeting and finding out that @jennlyn81 is now my client :) #
- @HireMeKrspyKrme Awesome news! I loved your story – you took what could have been a gimmick and backed it up with real, tangible experience. in reply to HireMeKrspyKrme #
- @PurpleCar Ha! @jennnlyn81 was my fellow Game Show Host this fall for our annual United Way fundraising campaign at the office. in reply to PurpleCar #

- @HireMeKrspyKrme Oh, hey, and I'll meet you at SMC tonight! in reply to HireMeKrspyKrme #
- 30k spots in Blue Cross Broad Street Run (@ibxrun10) SOLD OUT in 101 hours! Such amazing enthusiasm & support from the run community this wk #
- NOW: Anyone in Old City want to meet up for a brief dinner pre-@smcphilly? Need a soup and a sandwich in me before our blogging discussion. #
- At the @smcphilly meeting with a slew of my most favorite digital Philadelphians – too many to tweet! #
- The @smcphilly meeting was just crashed by @HireMeKrspyKrme bearing donuts and KRISPY KREME HATS. Much love to @krispykremephl #
- I have now become the awful person that does not remember people from prior meetings. To my credit, I am always just as excited to meet them #
- @MelGreiner Was talking you up to @PurpleCar & @WendyKPHL as a "MommyBlogger" who isn't just a Mommy :) in reply to MelGreiner #
- Do you have a mission statement for your blog? Not just a statement of purpose (to write!), but a real mission? – @cecilyk, @smcphilly #
- @adeceve Oh holy hell, I was lucky if I knew the lyrics to my songs @Tmoms :) but I've followed you for a while now in reply to adeceve #
- @jgibbard I am so on board with your whole train of thought over there :) @smcphilly in reply to jgibbard #
- @AllThingsGwen awww, thank you. Does it contextualize the insanity / inanity on Twitter. in reply to AllThingsGwen #
- "You know my blog, it's a hot mess." – @cecilyk on the "topic" of her blog. @smcphilly #
- @GennaWeiss So awesome talking to you! I am grilling wife @not_pele on singing groups, perhaps she'll chime in with one directly ;) in reply to GennaWeiss #
- @heathie HAH. That is hilarious. Also, Hair is definitely one of my top 5 musicals (and I am not a musical lover) in reply to heathie #
- An intense day, full of communication both @ibx & @smcphilly. It's amazing that I get to do what I love almost every hour of the day. #
- @Cecilyk I'm so bad with losing accessories, I had to wear a practice ring for months before getting the real thing. in reply to Cecilyk #
- Good morning! I hope there are some awesome things in store for you today. #
- @adeceve Oo, did you see the last Eisley show @northstarbar? It was amazing. Coming back this spring. in reply to adeceve #
- @Charlie_O Boggles me the unbidden trust people put in corps. It's a concept that's not very old and- as you said- has limited good examples in reply to Charlie_O #
- @TableFor2Half That is a crime. Surely there are 100 healthy things to put in banana bread other than cauliflower. in reply to TableFor2Half #
- @paullucci I was waiting to hear your verdict. I never really watch until the end of Hollywood week, though. in reply to paullucci #
- @TeresaBasich Oh my. Can people even see you as you whiz by them after the eighth cup? Is there a sonic boom? ;) in reply to TeresaBasich #
- My two erstwhile co-workers are back from Mexico and Hawaii respectively. I'm like, "You're tan, but you missed a really fun ice storm!" #
- Feeling slightly blah, so I assembled a massive Italian lunch from @DiBrunoBros. I say, feed a fever, feed a cold. Also, watch Star Wars. #
- In other news, I need to find someone in the office who has a cheese board… #
- @kierankelly They are learning valuable life lessons. About pan-handling. in reply to kierankelly #
- @Cecilyk When you said that last night it rung funny but also true. I'm a big believe that positive energy has tangible effects. in reply to Cecilyk #
- @paullucci If I feel a little under-the-weather the 1st thing I do is stuff myself w/organic or Italian food. More like "asphyxiate a fever" in reply to paullucci #
- @headgeek666 Is that awesome news? It sounds like it could be very awesome news. If so, I'm happy to hear it. You deserve good health, Harry in reply to headgeek666 #
- @Not_Pele I found a happy home for the Wasabi Soy Nuts. They just haven't been feeling up to the commute yet. in reply to Not_Pele #
- Hilarious: http://shouldiworkforfree.com is a handy flowchart tool when you're having trouble saying no. via @BethHarte, /cc @purplecar #
- @AllThingsGwen The last few posts on your page clarify it – you can sign up with ACS, but there is a fundraising requirement tied to that. in reply to AllThingsGwen #
- @PurpleCar Made met hink of our chat last night, how I'm having to learn to say no – I might really print out the chart :) in reply to PurpleCar #
- Substantive commentary on how @LadyGaga has gone from star to influencer. RT @briansolis Lady Gaga's monster influence http://bit.ly/eYemqX #
- The new @filmstarband song is so incredibly awesome. It might be our best song yet. Even the shitty 1st-run-ever rehearsal video is awesome. #
- @jennlyn81 $7 (and, it's NEXT Saturday. I have flyers now) in reply to jennlyn81 #
- Good morning! I am typing this beneath a sprinkling of snow. I feel like the frequent snowfall is slowly immunizing Philly from its bitching #
- @therealdesh I almost slipped while I was jumping up and down to shake some mud off my shoe. It's dangerous out there. We need a snow curfew in reply to therealdesh #
- @Not_Pele don't'cha know in reply to Not_Pele #
- @sarahcooley Good morning! How goes? in reply to sarahcooley #
- @heathie city impact appears to be negligible in reply to heathie #
- @sarahcooley super busy (am I ever not), but fighting off a chest thing that's making it difficult to sing. Blah. in reply to sarahcooley #
- Working with a West Coast vendor for the first time in a while – trying to get used to referencing which noon I mean – ours or theirs. #
- I am going to start a jar where I have to deposit something valuable every time I say "um." Quarters? Guitar picks? Brain cells? #
- On a mid-day field trip to the airport, during which I'll get to walk around in the airport. It's going to be very exciting, I'm sure. :) #
- (Actually, the project it's for is endlessly awesome, and I get to go through a special security checkpoint, so net result is coolness.) #
- @adeceve Happy Workers! in reply to adeceve #
- @kmartino @amanda_nan I always marvel at the paucity of Philly blog hubs online. We're certainly wired enough, but lack that persistence. in reply to kmartino #
- @k8iedid That uis one of three songs I always, without fail listen to while visiting NYC. All three are by Rufus. in reply to k8iedid #
- @nwjerseyliz not only impossible to find anything, but sends all browsers I point it to crashing to the ground. Seeing bands delete profiles in reply to nwjerseyliz #
- @PurpleCar "…the phone rings…." "Saved!" "…We screen, zoom in on the answering machine…" "SPEAK" in reply to PurpleCar #
- @miekapauley Whoa, have fun with that! in reply to miekapauley #
- In lieu of watching reality Tv I use my rides on SEPTA to feel superior to a demographically representative cross section of the public. #
- @PurpleCar (I was so sure you'd get my quote from RENT ;) in reply to PurpleCar #
- @risekevin Ouch. Are you going to say something? Can he at least clean he worked to develop that creative / those campaigns? in reply to risekevin #
- @nwjerseyliz Sounds like Sophomore year of high school. Or, college, if you include liquor. in reply to nwjerseyliz #
- @PurpleCar Have a co-worker who made a deal w/tween kids: they can get on any network if they let her log in & keep an eye on their activity in reply to PurpleCar #
- @k8iedid Oh What a World and Poses. I kinda know how to play Art Teacher on piano, when I'm in practice. in reply to k8iedid #
- My productivity is approaching 0 this weekend after a great Garbage tribute rehearsal. Just want to watch Netflix & shop for graphic novels. #
- No prior version of me would believe I just spent an hour playing "Don't Stop Believin'" on a fretless bass in my attic. I mean, Journey? #
- There's also the bit where I've never before had an attic or owned a fretless bass, but I still think the Journey part is the most shocking. #
- My musical motto is "make it harder" (really make it more INTRICATE). Ran scales for 2hrs to limber up for my hot new @filmstarband bassline #
- You can tell I'm not a bassist by trade from all the chords and arpeggios I throw in, but that's part of bassist's job in a one-guitar band. #
- @MelGreiner Seems like an egregious omission from my Rock Bass book, but I think @not_pele would die laughing if I started rehearsing it. in reply to MelGreiner #
- Argh, I am so sick of this cold. I have tried every remedy tactic in my considerable arsenal, but I cannot shake it loose from my body. #
