My tweets of the last week:
- Major brainstorm on how to get the plot of book two of my @NaNoWriMo project off to a brisk start. Hot showers are always good for plotting. #
- @brianalynch My hint is I just watched Dark Knight. This reminds me, we have to start our book (writing) club. Maybe FB should be the venue? in reply to brianalynch #
- Am I upset that I'm sick enough to have to call out of work? Yes. Am I upset that this occurred while it is 11 degrees outside? Not so much. #
- Good morning! I'm back in the office, feeling like myself for the 1st time in a week, and faced with a whirlwind of stuff to catch up on. #
- @GennaWeiss Feeling recovered now; I think yesterday was the last gasp of what I'd been fighting off all last week. in reply to GennaWeiss #
- Today one of the Fantastic 4 dies in the culmination of a lengthy & highly-acclaimed storyline. Want to know who died? http://lat.ms/fGVEBL #
- @Blueskyfox I liked Hickman's point, that if dead serves the story it doesn't matter how long dead is dead. I'm v. excited to read his TPBs in reply to Blueskyfox #
- @movie_pundit LOL. Which director would you kick out for him? in reply to movie_pundit #
- Choregraphing a fight for the character @melgreiner may voice in my novel to the soundtrack of "Moonage Daydream." Being an author is fun. #
- @elizabethmarley I check Netflix at least once a month to see if I Love Lucy and Bewitched are streaming yet. @brimil in reply to elizabethmarley #
- @theoreticalgirl It is high on the list of reasons to have my license by then. Two nights of Portishead! in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- Window installation has been rescheduled – probably not the best day to have gaping holes in all of the walls of my house. #
- Kinda wishing we DID go through with installing the new windows today, because I think it's snowing INTO my house right now. #
- Philly friends, as of an hour ago: RT @SEPTA: BUS: ALL service has been suspended due to weather conditions. #
- My office delayed our opening several hours, but if buses don't restart sometime soon I forsee many people NOT heading in. #
- @SocialBrown My trolleys are some of the ones that are running, so I'm making a go of it. If they were down i'd be stuck. in reply to SocialBrown #
- Apparenlty if my trolleys stop running the city is lost because @septa has 10 guys digging out this one stop. Bless them, they're rocking it #
- I'm sorry, make that twelve guys. This has turned from snowpocalypse to a WWII movie … WE MUST HOLD THE LINE! #
- I turned to the WebMD symptom checker to validate that my squeaky voice doesn't mean I'm going to die. It thinks I'm going through puberty. #
- @marykateruf OMG, she's making the awesome tofu TONIGHT. Will bring some. Learn C, G, Em. The next two I'd say F and Am. I'll find songs. #
- Awesome interview w/Sugartown founder Sara Sherr about my gig for tomorrow night, paying acoustic tribute to Garbage! http://bit.ly/fQsSsQ #
- @Not_Pele What! There's only, like, 30 to mail. I'll pay for it. in reply to Not_Pele #
- It would be great if I could do some sort of automatic payroll deduction to @Amazon. Maybe pre-tax? That would be awesome. #
- @radiocolin END IT. @ericsmithrocks clearly doesn't deserve you. in reply to radiocolin #
- @anniemal @mariatsciarrino If either of you have a pink or black feather boa, I'd love to borrow it for tonight… in reply to anniemal #
- @shunmahoney List of things I buy from Amazon: Graphic Novels, DVDs, cereal, vitamins, socks, salt. If they sold SEPTA passes, too…. in reply to shunmahoney #
- @mariatsciarrino It has inspired me to do mounds of laundry to try to find something appropriate. in reply to mariatsciarrino #
- @anniemal That would be AWESOME because (a) it decides my outfit and (b) it obligates you to attend :) in reply to anniemal #
- @djsnyder Well, if @njrugger45 is coming too he should bring boas, we can equip my entire band with them :) in reply to djsnyder #
- @amanda_nan http://michaelmay.us/09blog/06/0621_garbage.jpg in reply to amanda_nan #
- Tritone tonight at 9pm I play an acoustic set of Garbage tunes sung by @sierrahurtt. Other bands will do Blondie, Lauper, Pretenders & more! #
- @marykateruf Chord of the day: Em. Just 2 fingers, you can do it! It's the 1st chord in Zombie, which is just 4 chords: http://bit.ly/ho5ezD #
- @anniemal Oo, yes! A themed outfit is now forming in my mind… in reply to anniemal #
- @anniemal (It has sort of a Black Swan thing going for it, too, but I'm not wearing all that makeup for an unplugged set… ) in reply to anniemal #
- @mommysfabulous They are my fav band! I'm so delighted to get to cover them, I've never played one of their tunes in public before. in reply to mommysfabulous #
- @eddidit Please pass along if you find 1. I had a suit tailored by a tux shop in S. Philly that was great, but think it was a little pricey. in reply to eddidit #
- Not only Garbage tonight, but I feel like the great muffling illness of '11 might be leaving my body, so I can get my life back on track. #
- Here's another writeup of tonight's Women in Rock tribute show at 15 & South: http://bit.ly/ggVaIY – our set is around 9pm for 15 minutes. #
- @marykateruf Do you have a tuner? There are definitely tuner websites if you need one. in reply to marykateruf #
- @marykateruf Here is a decent tuner, the (R) buttons put the string on repeat. http://www.chordbook.com/guitartuner.php in reply to marykateruf #
- @anniemal Cultivation Theory hard at work, eh? I always expected life to be like 90210, personally. in reply to anniemal #
- @SteveCis @THEkrismohfanz Hey guys – just a reminder that tonight is the night of the Garbage tribute set @ Tritone, if you're around :) #
- @anniemal nope. Doors at 6pm, music at 7pm, we're 9pm, I think Maria is 11 or 11130? in reply to anniemal #
- I think Disney is wrong – Container Store is the happiest place on Earth. I've never been to a place with such universally happy employees. #
- @JeffGreenhouse If it was anywhere other than the Contain Store I think that might be an issue, yes :) in reply to JeffGreenhouse #
- Installed in the Tritone for our night of women in rock. Room is abuzz in an awesome way. If you're out tonight stop by! 15&South, we're @ 9 #
- @marykateruf oo, I'll try it tomorrow!! in reply to marykateruf #
- Pretenders cover band was hot, ended with a fierce version of Precious. Oh how I love me some debut LP Hynde. Now The Pandoras, Garbage next #
- Total rush of playing songs by my favorite band live! Kept being amazed by all the soulful rock @sierrahurtt was delivering to my left ;) #
- @jacmmkay ooo, can't wait to hear how she is. I'm rooting for her to return and be awesome. in reply to jacmmkay #
- Voice held up well through rehearsal & show, but I'm a little terrified of the state of it tomorrow morning. Hopefully I was delicate enough #
- Totally amazing night of my life. So many awesome bands and music loves. Cris Valkyria utterly conquered Blondie, it was breathtaking. #
- Oh, and, apparently Tritone was sold out? I believe that is my first ever billing on a sold-out show. And, with @mariatsciarrino, to boot :) #
- @jacmmkay Oh no! I was so hoping she'd start getting her shit together on these dates. Glad I didn't pick up Philly tix. in reply to jacmmkay #
- @anniemal You should come w/us to one of her shows sometime, that was over an octave shy of the top of her range :) Meanwhile, f-ing LILIPUT in reply to anniemal #
- @Not_Pele It's a @SyFy creature feature. I believe it may involve the word Sharktopus? cc/ @leesa_up in reply to Not_Pele #
- @mariatsciarrino We're going to pretend I didn't see you say that until time travel is invented so i can go back and witness them in person. in reply to mariatsciarrino #
- @mariatsciarrino Probably for the best. I can't be relied on to not scream my face off during Love Shack; I'd never regain power of speech. in reply to mariatsciarrino #
- Good morning, internet friends! I'm still amped from last night, and seem to have not entirely destroyed my vocal cords in the process. You? #
- Love thus HuffPo article from a musician who quit playing clubs to play House Concerts, and made it pay. http://huff.to/hXyLDq #
- This is embarrassing – I forgot the password to my own blog. #
- @Cecilyk Have you ever heard @HarveyMilk's talk on "Secret Mentorship"? Inspiring, and helped me understand some of my relationships better. in reply to Cecilyk #
- I can't believe a guy I saw around at events my wife's high school was just on SNL with Mark Zuckerberg. And might win an Oscar. Crazy. #
- @PurpleCar Oh my. I'm such a smart-ass with my passwords that sometimes one of them floats out of my brain. But, of all of them to forget… in reply to PurpleCar #
- @Cecilyk Talked about mentoring by influence, rather than in name & how mentor relationships can be confusing – almost deceptively romantic. in reply to Cecilyk #
- @Cecilyk Oh, absolutely! I never had mentoring in either direction until post-college, now I value it so much. in reply to Cecilyk #
- @Jennyfur Same here, plus contextual non-alpha characters. I think I just got in a huff after the Gawker thing and made it too hard. in reply to Jennyfur #
- I want to hear what @not_pele has to say RT @KarlMiller: Black? White? Asian? Young Americans Choose All of the Above http://nyti.ms/eaODb1 #
- I've always hated the simplification of racial identity portion of forms. yes, I'm white, but I'm 100% Italian – where's the box for that? #
- Also comments on mixed Race & Obama: "Someone said, ‘Stop taking away our black president.’ I didn’t understand." http://nyti.ms/eaODb1 #
- I admit that I don't understand how Obama is JUST a 1st black president. He's also our 1st MULTI-RACIAL president, which is also significant #
- @Not_Pele Like, I never think of or refer to you as "White" or "Chinese." You're my wife, who happens to have half a Chinese family. in reply to Not_Pele #
- I hope I didn't offend anyone in any way. As someone who will EVENTUALLY have multi-racial kids w/@not_pele this is all v. meaningful to me. #
- @marykateruf Is the guitar in tune now? Em mastered? What's the status? #
- @JoPincushion Band-age coming together?! I can't lend myself at the moment, as I'm packed with axe-tastic duties the next few months. in reply to JoPincushion #
- @marykateruf You only need to the the $5 for more than 3 rules at a time. in reply to marykateruf #
- @marykateruf I have made it one of my personal goals that you learn to play :) Tune up and play Em, it will take 30 minutes of time. in reply to marykateruf #
- Alright. Bass exercises. @filmstarband recording. Yoga. Writing. I can do this. #
- Monster Glee article in THR goes behind the scenes to examine how the show gets made: Inside the Hot Business of Glee http://mee.bo/eRJxke #
- E came back up to do more @filmstarband recording, but walked in on me writing a song. Helped untangled the rhymes for a rare cowrite credit #
- I'm a pretty decent record producer. I could use a recording engineer, but producing I get. #
- My wife: "You know what happens to unhappy ton-tons…" I think she meant this as a threat about evisceration? #
- @brimil I go back to the privacy presentation we were giving at big blue – "friend "is a multi-tiered relationship. Wall isn't all of that. in reply to brimil #
