What I Tweeted, 2011-05-22 Edition

May 22, 2011 by krisis

My tweets of the last week:

  • I've become totally addicted to MI:5/Spooks on Netflix, but without any ADR some episodes might as well be in French, I'm catching 25%, best #
  • @Level3Media Just watched the Armageddon Scenario one. Good god, amazing television. in reply to Level3Media #
  • @Level3Media Yeah, we caught on to that pretty quickly ;) I noted Tom and Zoe are only in the first 1-3 seasons. We're on 2.6 right now. in reply to Level3Media #
  • @StarrGazr I will certainly take some of your sunshine; it is so gray and foggy here that it looks like a blanket is draped across my window in reply to StarrGazr #
  • Terrific article: RT @kierankelly "Never seen anybody do SportsCenter as well as Olbermann. It hasn't even been close" http://t.co/OoQYDLd #
  • @startabuzz I would pick up an indie LP by @rebeccaloebe, whose track from #TheVoice is on permanent repeat on my iPod. Buying tonight! in reply to startabuzz #
  • @startabuzz I'm exciting to hear her indie stuff, as her arrangement is the best I've heard of all the contestants on #TheVoice in reply to startabuzz #
  • @startabuzz Just picked up a TON of older music this weekend (Rod Stewart, especially), plus FINALLY put Adele on my iPod. What about you? in reply to startabuzz #
  • @startabuzz I love that her record sounds so organic. Nothing programmed or synthesized sticks out. Sounds like real people in a room. in reply to startabuzz #
  • Want to hear the hardest my band has rocked so far? Catch the choruses on our live debut of "American Michaela": http://youtu.be/PAe9olb29_c #
  • @shunmahoney I say it's me tweeting journalism ;) I'd tweet plenty of sports if I had a reason to follow Eagles/NFL. Maybe we'll get scabs… in reply to shunmahoney #
  • @MVMNT_Mike smilesbydrbackiel.com, or search my blog for "dentist." All of my fam & friends have switched to her. Amazing office. in reply to MVMNT_Mike #
  • One month until #140conf in NYC! I'm already excited, not only to hear talks, but to (re)connect w/awesome people. http://nyc.140conf.com #
  • "Tree of Life" probably my most anticipated movie of 2011 so far – all of the superhero movies pale in comparison to capture my imagination. #
  • @MVMNT_Mike Awesome! I literally tweet from her chair, I am usually so happy and un-stressed to be there. Saved me in some major emergencies in reply to MVMNT_Mike #
  • @amanda_nan OMG, I am going to get to watch you fan-freakout live and in person! Wasn't I just tweeting about him last year and you freaked? in reply to amanda_nan #
  • Gaga pre-release song #4 "Hair," proves the shark has been jumped, ladies & gents. If these are the best 4 songs she's got she's in TROUBLE #
  • Recap: Born This Way, incoherent merciless rip-off. Judas, self-plagiarizing Manson-pop. Edge of Glory, shimmery 80s radio fluff. Hair, w/e. #
  • @phillybosslady Judas is my fav so far for being unusual. Hair is pure cotton candy. Like Glory, similar to B-side of Fame, not the singles. in reply to phillybosslady #
  • @ErikaJL Poor Tori. Did she see the Night of Hunters Fori photo before it went out? Descent into self-parody is sad; hope the songs are good in reply to ErikaJL #
  • @eddidit I'm sad that she crossed over from making really incredible genre-bending music to blind-following so very quickly. in reply to eddidit #
  • @ErikaJL I love how the press release is like code for: "dropped from last distrib deal, last LP bombed, promise this will have piano on it" in reply to ErikaJL #
  • Bottom line: I feel the new Gaga songs don't have the ANTHEMIC quality that all her hits have had to date. @eddidit @erikajl @phillybosslady #
  • @ErikaJL I think Beekeeper was felled by production and Posse was genius. Nothing positive to say about AAtS – the songs were just average. in reply to ErikaJL #
  • @ErikaJL @inflammatorywrt BTW, what happened w/Forumz? Checked in to get my snark fix on the new pics & it's over, new site locked down? #
  • @inflammatorywrt Amen to that. Yoga is the only exercise I've found where I am not miserable and/or bored while doing it. in reply to inflammatorywrt #
  • @inflammatorywrt Like, you don't have to be incoherent and/or bitchy to even take part in discourse? Felt like I got POISONED by the old @ in reply to inflammatorywrt #
  • @ErikaJL Well, you certainly nailed it on Curtain Call & Starling ;) -I listen to the live Dutch Curtain Call constantly. Ditto Lady in Blue in reply to ErikaJL #
  • @ErikaJL I only bought four songs on the album after the leak, and it was those three and Ophelia. in reply to ErikaJL #
  • @PrestonInside Growing beyond that kinds sheds all the parts about her songs that were good, rather than like "Summer Boys." in reply to PrestonInside #
  • @PrestonInside Also, I officially don't acknowledge "Born This Way." It's like a kid turning in a paper w/ an entire swath of textbook in it in reply to PrestonInside #
  • @PrestonInside Find me the "Bad Romance" or "Speechless" quality turn of songwriting of the five songs we know so far on this disc. in reply to PrestonInside #
  • @PrestonInside Well, she is copying a number of things so far, but for me none is interesting. I want songwriting chops, I know she has them in reply to PrestonInside #
  • @ErikaJL I just get lost in that arrangement. in reply to ErikaJL #
  • @PrestonInside Agreed. I hope the album as a body will be really stunning as the songs add context to one another. Could be hiding many hits in reply to PrestonInside #
  • Rehearsal tonight added a slew of new songs to the rock repertoire, including @arcati81's oldest song, a new 80s cover, and an Oscar-winner. #
  • @JoPincushion I can't wait to see you guys!!! The pictures look amazing. We should totally team up for a semi-acoustic show this summer. in reply to JoPincushion #
  • @alexcmurphy Two different songs ;) in reply to alexcmurphy #
  • @alexcmurphy That song won an Oscar?! in reply to alexcmurphy #
  • @stephkun I don't want to build your expectations TOO much, as I went in pretty blind, but it was for sure my favorite "conference," ever :) in reply to stephkun #
  • Got a guided look at new pages in @UlyssesSeen graphic novel w/1 of the authors: http://bit.ly/mCpKHO Releasing in segments until #Bloomsday #
  • @MOgulnick Will you be returning to #140Conf this year to eat more giant slices of pizza? ;) in reply to MOgulnick #
  • Love this; not just a women's issue. RT @cubanalaf Do I Look Too Young To Be Taken Seriously At Work? http://bit.ly/iNfMgL via @mscareergirl #
  • @MsCareerGirl I definitely got the "Why are you here?" reaction at mtgs even after I was a Sr. team member, until I ramped up the confidence in reply to MsCareerGirl #
  • I wonder: @Krochmal, are you planning to speak or moderate again at #140conf this year? in reply to Krochmal #
  • Every local band should have a Blogger Outreach plan to score fans/mentions. A post to get you started http://bit.ly/kUGQaH via @DavidSpinks #
  • @DavidSpinks Super good! Playing a solid slate of shows with the band. What about you? Will I see you at #140conf this year? in reply to DavidSpinks #
  • @DavidSpinks I will be @ #140conf ��amazing experience last year; brought back a lot of ideas to work. Re: Shows, all in Philly so far. in reply to DavidSpinks #
  • @DavidSpinks We have enough friends in NYC to have a pretty strong show with more than a month of notice, but unsure of a venue to approach. in reply to DavidSpinks #
  • @DavidSpinks Oh, it doesn't have to be a "good" spot :) -although, now that we have drums it would help for it to be about to withstand ROCK in reply to DavidSpinks #
  • @gloriabell Gloria, are you staying at a hotel during #140conf I cannot decide where to book that's close but not outrageous. in reply to gloriabell #
  • Rare insight into how one screen actor gets off-book RT @wilw On the learning of the lines and the telling of the story: http://is.gd/aQj5rA #
  • @jgibbard We handle internally with consultation from an external agency (but they are never our responder or our voice). in reply to jgibbard #
  • Where do the hours go? If I could slow time or stop sleeping I would. Even all the time I spend blinking adds up to a few useful minutes! #
  • @amanda_nan If I had the time to do yoga every day I certainly would. That, blog, play guitar, & run vocal warmups. Only need 4 more hrs ;) #
  • @jgibbard I've been well! My rock rehearsal is Wednesday, so no @smcphilly lately. Was dmiring your wedding pics; new news? If so, congrats! in reply to jgibbard #
  • @jgibbard re: social, it's been fun to develop our voice together. On some projects SM coverage is just a single person, others a whole team in reply to jgibbard #
  • @paullucci I think you should take out attack ads to that effect if she wins the primary. "Paid for by the kid she called f-g in 6th grade." in reply to paullucci #
  • 1st totally bad pick tonight on #TheVoice Cee Lo blew it choosing Nakia over Tje, when Tje was clearly better. Also, Angela was incredible! #
  • Blind item: Local songwriter I adore to death dropped a ton of time/cash on LP but never took the time to plan breath marks in big ballad :( #
  • By the way, I don't critique because I think I'm awesome. If anything, my own release schedule is crippled by how big of a self-critic I am. #
  • Good morning! I feel like I'll get many things done today (& I'll listen to great music while doing them). What does your day hold in store? #
  • Last night I graded #TheVoice blindly, just like mentors judged the auditions. Did I make the same picks they did? http://bit.ly/iVvsIj #
  • @Krochmal It's a tossup between Twitter & email. If I was in Twitter convos the night before I want to check in. FB is always post-smoothie. in reply to Krochmal #
  • @alexcmurphy I don't know that Adele is going to lift you OUT of a funk, but she's certainly good listening :) in reply to alexcmurphy #
  • @jerseycoach I think @Hashable_Beta looks super cool – thanks for the invite! in reply to Hashable_Beta #
  • @jerseycoach I have been a shut-in this year so far, mostly because I am rehearsing with bands for half my week. You? How was soccer?! in reply to jerseycoach #
  • @alexcmurphy Yeah, but not cheerful :) I do think Rumor Has It is genius, but after half the LP I feel like she's screaming at me. in reply to alexcmurphy #
  • Might buy a Verizon Droid2 to replace my G1; would rather have G2, but T-Mobile's network is awful. Any thoughts before I pull the trigger? #
  • @lizasperling Oo, that certainly helps; I despise tech that dies easily. I'm just a qwerty keyboard devotee, since I write so much on it. in reply to lizasperling #
  • @therealdesh T-Mob never works anywhere for me. House, spotty. NNJ, terrible. Any kind of slightly-underground locale w/daylight, nothing. in reply to therealdesh #
  • @therealdesh I kinda swore off Sprint after my old phone, though now they're not looking so bad. Kinda want to get all my data onto Verizon. in reply to therealdesh #
  • @mikeyil Was assuming the G-line was Tmo exclusive. G1 stuck on 1.6, starting to be an issue with apps I need for work and home. in reply to mikeyil #
  • @letsshakeitup I am out of my contract at the end of the month! You know, they pro-rate breaking, 6mnths out I think it's $100 to break. in reply to letsshakeitup #
  • @therealdesh @mikeyil @lizasperling @lesshakeitup I should give up my hard qwerty addiction, but I truly write 1000s of words on my phone! in reply to therealdesh #
  • @mikeyzito @mikeyil Yeah, I've been working under the assumption that for Tmo "4G" just means "3G that connects more often than not." in reply to mikeyzito #
  • @Krochmal I need some serious fortitude to wade into morning Facebook notifications – an empty stomach would not do. in reply to Krochmal #
  • @Krochmal I nominally x-post my WP blog to @Tumblr, but I do all of my blog-reading in reader. Ah, this modern life. in reply to Krochmal #
  • @therealdesh Also, it looks like the Verizon phone tethers for $20, which saves me another $45 device subscription. in reply to therealdesh #
  • @bkmacdaddy If I don't favorite a post from you on any given day it is because I haven't even logged in to Twitter :) in reply to bkmacdaddy #
  • I do my blog-reading on Google Reader, @Krochmal. I've tried a few #Android apps for it, but prefer simply reading in-browser. Any fav apps? #
  • @lizasperling It's an attractively slim handset. I have to slip into a V store and see how I do with the typing. in reply to lizasperling #
  • @joeross Thanks for the tip, Joe! Unfortunately, @feedly is for #Android 2.2 and up, which brings me back to my "which handset to buy" convo in reply to joeross #
  • @LunaTechie Ahh, I need to get my Sia tix pronto. Doing now. in reply to LunaTechie #
  • Moments ago was singing "How Will I Know" in three-part harmony w/@melgreiner & @marykateruf over the cube walls. ♫ http://blip.fm/~14nvxc #
  • Will never let a banana go bad again RT @cubanalaf check it: you can make ice cream with only one ingredient…bananas. http://bit.ly/xA11B #
  • @MVMNT_Mike I'm glad they lived up to the hype! They saved me from a shattered molar the day before we moved into our house. in reply to MVMNT_Mike #
  • @jgibbard I always leave 1 or 2 bananas to die at the end of a bunch – now going to start throwing them in the freezer! in reply to jgibbard #
  • Little bro just called to let me know he got tapped for an audition to understudy a mainstage musical at one of Philly's big theatres!!! #
  • @smashleydubs Dude, I just watched a clip of Idol, and Haley Reinhart cannot sing well. As a singer you cannot possibly condone that mess. #
  • @KnicFP I wound up watching all three songs from tonight. She's a mess. She has the instrument, but not the technical chops to control it. in reply to KnicFP #
  • Good morning! It's my monthly "you're not flying, so don't get too excited" visit to PHL airport. Actually, today's event will be awesome :) #
  • Somehow my nearly 2hr commute on the ever-charming @SEPTA got me here before the rest of my team. I could do a one-man cabaret on the stage! #
  • Running an event in a location with lots of walkthrough is intriguing; you have a new chance to connect every minute! Kinda like Twitter :) #
  • And, suddenly it looks like I might actually be performing *music* the next time we're at the airport. Because my life is CRAZY. #
  • Read the incredible story of how local anchor John Bolaris was drugged and defrauded on vacation. http://bit.ly/jOGGFb #
  • @mommysfabulous Isn't he too old to travel to a second location after buying a painting a charity auction he had no recollection of? in reply to mommysfabulous #
  • While both @chickiesnpetes crab fries and burpees (combination jumping jacks and push-ups) are separately awesome, together, not so much. #
  • I am finally having a @JambaJuice smoothie. It is everything @ThatDrew made it out to be, and more. ;) #
  • @startabuzz I am on the East Coast having one RIGHT NOW! It's in PHL airport, and in North NJ. in reply to startabuzz #
  • I demoed some exercises @ our expo that would have left me in an aching heap six months ago. It's amazing: a little fitness goes a long way! #
  • So I guess we can add "spokesmodel" to my list of official job responsibilities? #
  • I have new respect for the women who exercise silently behind Jillian Michaels. Keeping my mouth shut and smiling is not the easiest task. #
  • @ColbyWG I typically only do it when I am working on or delivering a big marquee project. (ps: coming back to #140conf next month?) in reply to ColbyWG #
  • @realestatechick @startabuzz if you come to Philly expressly to drink cosmos I will make myself available for the occasion ;) in reply to realestatechick #
  • I enjoy Spooks/MI:5, but there are too many white people, I can't tell them apart. Between that and accents it's a wonder I follow the plot! #
  • Every parking lot I pull into without killing anyone is one step closer to being a licensed driver. #
  • @AllThingsGwen Haha, I just kept getting notifications, like "I JUST SAW THAT, wait there's another one." in reply to AllThingsGwen #
  • @valkrye131 Lanes of traffic, I am totally cool with. Parking lot rules and trying to figure out where spots start and stop… not so cool. in reply to valkrye131 #
  • @valkrye131 I have my permit! The only time I drove illegally is when I spent three hours parallel parking in front of my house by myself. in reply to valkrye131 #
  • OMG, Janet Jackson at THE TOWER THEATRE?!?! I cannot even take it. There is no way I will miss that. Go go Clear Channel connections! #
  • @jacmmkay @Thekrismohfanz This is why I tolerate never-ending LiveNation email spam ;) in reply to jacmmkay #
  • @THEkrismohfanz I got third row balcony, same seats. I just love the sound in the Tower from the balcony. I don't even try for floor anymore in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
  • It's been a long while since I've emceed a day-long event on a weekday. I forgot how emotionally drained it leaves you the following day. #
  • @THEkrismohfanz I've wanted to see Janet live for over 20 years. I am pretty damned excited. And this is the #1s tour, so LOTS of old hits. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
  • I could use a few new brainy folks to follow and engage with! Who are you favorite #FollowFriday peeps that compel you to think AND respond? #
  • @THEkrismohfanz That is one of my fav albums of all time; wish I had seen it on tour ;( in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
  • I am not a T-Swift fan, but this Leibovitz snap is my favorite rock shot of recent memory: http://bit.ly/iMnXn4 #
  • @phillybosslady @suz925 It's weird that her newest greatest hits don't include "How Will I Know" and "Dance w/Somebody" – revisionist much? in reply to phillybosslady #
  • I'm about to RT something incredibly uncharacteristic of me, but I laughed so damn hard when I read it that I cannot abstain from sharing. #
  • @amanda_nan I'm just amazed that it comes down to "because a radio mogul said so (as he did in the 90s, when he also wound up being wrong)" in reply to amanda_nan #
  • @phillybosslady Hahaha, you've certainly reached your lifetime quota. That's why I never wanted a solo: makes you hate a good song. @suz925 in reply to phillybosslady #
  • @phillybosslady WHICH IS A CRIME AGAINST MUSIC AND HUMANITY AS A WHOLE. in reply to phillybosslady #
  • @Jonathan360 It's so her, and it's so beautiful. Seriously iconic, even in the Parthenon of all of AL's historic shots. in reply to Jonathan360 #
  • @phillybosslady Anytime you want to jam out, you just say the word ;) in reply to phillybosslady #
  • In other news, I am so nervous to hear about bro's theatre audition that I'm making myself sick. He's probably not even a third this anxious #
  • @amanda_nan I have great seats to see that slammin' bod this summer :) in reply to amanda_nan #
  • Sitting around humming "Across the Universe" along with Rufus Wainwright in three party harmony w/E and bro. A solid gold memory being made. #
  • Good morning! Nothing like some pre-noon updates to 2yr-old PHP to get the brain into gear. Will your Saturday be challenging or relaxing? #
  • @amanda_nan So, you have the TV turned up loud enough that it is punching through the earplugs? This seems somehow counterintuitive… in reply to amanda_nan #
  • I will make a word cloud out of my lyrics in PHP/MYSQL or die trying. Taking bets on most-used word. Unlike tweeting, probably not "Awesome" #
  • My brain is exploding. On the other hand, this is a really great Regular Expression checker: http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ #
  • Word Cloud of my lyrics complete…in less than 8hrs! 10yrs later I am approaching being an actual programmer. Or, it really is the end times. #
  • Good morning! Fell asleep face down on my laptop, generally the sign of a productive (or frustrating) day of programming (it was the former) #
  • @MVMNT_Mike I had the negative imprint of my trackpad :) in reply to MVMNT_Mike #
  • @SmashleyDubs I will say, after going back for more of her performances I can see why you like her. Did you get her iTunes Idol songs? Good? in reply to SmashleyDubs #
  • @SmashleyDubs I feel like the thing she does that is truly so great is something she doesn't have a very fine control of yet. Give her 3yrs in reply to SmashleyDubs #
  • Kirsten Dunst won BEST ACTRESS @Cannes! Kinda moved to tears on her behalf. Can't wait for Melancholia (& Tree of Life) http://bit.ly/mxcjid #
  • I've always adored Dunst. She grew from a child star to someone who can deliver popcorn fare & subtle work. Happy for her to be recognized. #
  • In other movie news, big film sites got a sneak of X-Men First Class and universally, gushingly LOVED it. There's hope! http://bit.ly/iB4hyg #
  • @Cecilyk I've always had a very soft spot for her and Portman, since they're both the same age as me. Elizabethtown is one of our fav flicks in reply to Cecilyk #
  • @amanda_nan It might be too much of a caricature of the South for you. Also, I think watching it w/company makes it better, cause it's silly in reply to amanda_nan #
  • @alexcmurphy I generally find his movies impenetrable, but Dunst has been on an upswing and I'm hoping this is a real proving ground for her in reply to alexcmurphy #
  • @Cecilyk We appear to be the only two people on Earth that love it, so don't take my word for it. in reply to Cecilyk #
  • No idea why Gillian Anderson is world-trending, but as long as she's in good health I approve! Adore her. Wish she'd be in 3x as many flicks #
