My tweets of the last week:
- @caffination Oh my, that's awful! Did the fallen roof at least do a last vestige of its job and keep the machines dry, or is it all ruined? in reply to caffination #
- My entire department is out of the office today. Except for me. Oh dear. #
- @TraceyJWhitney I ate entire load of pesto bread I bought as an emergency ration plus all of our various seafood in case we still lost power in reply to TraceyJWhitney #
- @amanda_nan I was like, "What is she saying… currency?" in reply to amanda_nan #
- On the plus side, no co-workers means I can blast any inane music choices I'd like. I believe I'll start w/ the classic "Forever Your Girl" #
- @Phillygrrl Ha, pretty much the same here – backup dress shoes, change of slacks, pretzels and dried fruit. @jon_k in reply to Phillygrrl #
- @thecpmcd Maybe we should just start a Turntable.fm room so we can share tunes :) in reply to thecpmcd #
- Despite #Irene going easy on our house, seeing/hearing about daunting situations all around the Philly area. Glad everyone is ok & prepared. #
- Again, when we buy our next house in addition to an attached recording studio it'll be on high ground with backup generators. Oh & a pool :) #
- @mariatsciarrino Whoa. Do you even have to touch anything, or is the interface entirely holographic? in reply to mariatsciarrino #
- In Trenton, the flooding has totally enveloped the SEPTA train cars http://t.co/NNHTG4a Heard about this from co-workers, crazy! #
- @AmberCadabra No shame there! I've seen them three times now, and every time they put on one of the best rock shows I've ever seen. in reply to AmberCadabra #
- @JoPincushion @mikeydoc While you will never see me strip a superlative from my idol Mr. Bowie, I will throw Annie Lennox in as well. in reply to JoPincushion #
- Let's be honest: I look more than a little like drag-king @LadyGaga from VMAs. It's mostly the Italian combo of schnoz & dark eye circles. #
- @canadapools Either that, or one of those special compact wave machines that Michael Phelps does all those backstrokes in :) in reply to canadapools #
- @canadapools I was about half a life ago, and with all other fitness pistons firing I'm really desperate to be back to it. in reply to canadapools #
- Awesome article from @maura on the major lessons of the VMAs: http://t.co/SY9AQLk #
- Raises a good ?: past few awards shows have shown Twitter shout-outs fall flat w/a wider audience, but is there still benefit to doing them? #
- Yes, let's definitely sing solfege with our voice tape as the same time as we update our EdCal. That won't result in crazy gibberish at all. #
- @TraceyJWhitney Oh, we never lost it! We just took a thousand precautions re: food in case we did. in reply to TraceyJWhitney #
- I am in fantastic voice tonight. Good think I've set it aside for my top-secret project – mwuahahaha. #
- Through careful study (e.g., shredding my vocal chords) I have determined that pop song melodies were way harder in 1981 than they are now. #
- @brianalynch Certainly. Sing through these melodies acapella and try to name five bands doing ones as tough: http://t.co/wqyodsu(U.S.) in reply to brianalynch #
- I can reveal that whatever my top-secret project is, it won't include Kiss On My List. No matter what key I play in the pre-chorus kills me. #
- Good morning! How are you today? #
- @sierrahurtt You've been in the studio so much! Still tracking the same LP or a different project? I think I'm FINALLY almost ready to go in in reply to sierrahurtt #
- Our office gave us amazing 2ft-wide flatscreen monitors. Now I cannot get far enough away from my desk to read my screen. #FirstWorldProblem #
- @not_Pele So I used the FORCE, I picked up A BOX, I LIFTED SOME ROCKS. (You have forever ruined "Lola" for me :) #
- @magaIicious Is she dressed like Mad Men? At least that would add some context… in reply to magaIicious #
- @Not_Pele Dude, I looked it up on the INTERNET, so I know the lyrics are totally 100% right. in reply to Not_Pele #
- @drawonthewalls She is rocking his style way better than he is. in reply to drawonthewalls #
- Love Buffy & enjoy X-Men? You should visit @CheapGNsdotcom to get a ridiculous 55% off Whedon's Astonishing X-Men Omnibus – one of my favs! #
- @sierrahurtt My attic studio! Must mix down my @mieka live LP, an EP I recorded for Andra Taylor in July, and new @Filmstarband drum tracks. in reply to sierrahurtt #
- A family member, re: the tornado watch on Saturday: "I ran to the basement and drugged the cat. I felt like someone needed to be drugged." #
- Really solid, effective tips! RT @MakingMusicMag 13 tips to help you become a better singer. Let us know what you think http://t.co/qZAvhaL #
- @GinoTheFilipino @amanda_nan We verged on a plan last year, but it's just so much damned money that resembles the cost of a new guitar ;( in reply to GinoTheFilipino #
- @GinoTheFilipino I get OCD about buying travel/hotel & not having a pass + I want to go for music/interactive, but that's never a combo pass in reply to GinoTheFilipino #
- @danidraws Hoping that's me in a few years; trying to hatch a comic with my BFF/bandmate, but neither of us has every done one before! in reply to danidraws #
- @GinoTheFilipino I'll totally hit you up for advice. My travel budget for the next 6mos might be all-in on a trip to see @brimil in Paris ;) in reply to GinoTheFilipino #
- Marvel Comics Presents…Superman? It's hard to believe, but it was a hair away from happening in 1984. http://t.co/2aGOrXF #
- @OnlyGuyAtZumba Hah, I love your name…because that's usually ME. But, seriously, who can turn down a chance to dance that's ALSO exercising? #
- Fun fact: When I post to crushingkrisis.com tomorrow it will mark only the 4th time in 11yrs I've blogged daily for an entire month #
- @matropolis This almost killed me, at point, as each of the other month-long slogs has. It's all about an EdCal and recurring topics. in reply to matropolis #
- @OnlyGuyAtZumba IDefinitely helping me with poly-rhythms so I'm not always so square on the beat. Also made me realize how LONG my arms are. in reply to OnlyGuyAtZumba #
- @interjection It's so hard to commit to daily art. I want to do a song a day next month. We'll see. I've only ever accomplished that once. in reply to interjection #
- @MakingMusicMag It was a great mix – somethings things I knew, some I want to try. Loved the "tune by shaping" one, made me really think. in reply to MakingMusicMag #
- @interjection Yeah, that's what it was like this month. Also, having my bandmate @arcati81 committed to blogging every weekday spurred me on in reply to interjection #
- @interjection But I want to see Sketch-a-Day! It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, right? You could totally do it. in reply to interjection #
- @interjection I meant RECORDING a daily video, not WRITING new stuff every day. I don't even think I could do that if I quit my job! in reply to interjection #
- @OnlyGuyAtZumba Wow, you do a lot of JUMPING in your Zumba? I guess they are really their own flavor, even w/the standard music. in reply to OnlyGuyAtZumba #
- @interjection Let's see if I can show up with a video for Thurs and Fri and go from there. Sketches too? in reply to interjection #
- @interjection No hard rules for me. If I can uploaded & posted before I go to sleep I count it in the win column. More about daily content. in reply to interjection #
- Seems like I pushed my good voice day a little too far yesterday – definitely some hoarseness in my warmups tonight. Singing daily is hard. #
- And now for a totally low-key pizza & beer dudes night with @schmidtultra & @Sarcastron that I've been talking about doing FOR TWO YEARS. #
- @amanda_nan You have totally seen me drink a beer. I think. Maybe once. And, I deign to eat pizza once or twice a month, if I'm working out. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @amanda_nan Where did I say the pizza would be MANLY. Now you are just putting words in my mouth :) in reply to amanda_nan #
- @shunmahoney I agree. I never liked Supes, or really an DC heroes. They were all too fantastical. IMarvel 1960s heroes all the way for me. in reply to shunmahoney #
- Just realized I'm committed 10 of the next 12 evenings. Starting to freak out a little, but that's September. Must not forget to sleep & eat #
- @MelGreiner You missed a staff meeting where @shunmahoney admitted to watching Glee. Maybe he will go see the 3D movie with me. in reply to MelGreiner #
- @amanda_nan I want to see it, but my two BFF Glee fanatics moved to NC and are 9mos pregnant, respectively. @MelGreiner in reply to amanda_nan #
- BOOM: Thus wraps up my 4th ever month of daily posting at CrushingKrisis.com. Can I make it 2 months in a row, which I've never done before? #
- @MelGreiner I seem to recall Perlick explaining a gap between going into labor & giving birth where one can safely consume blender drinks…? in reply to MelGreiner #
- @mikeyil @adeceve @therausch09 @markb @LunaTechie @allieharch Happy to challenge anyone to a duel, as long as cards are 4th Ed or older ;) in reply to mikeyil #
- Successfully pitched a conference session outline w/@socialbrown to our senior mgmt! Are you prepared to have a Krisis at @socialmediaplus? #
- @brimil Presenting. HUT. in reply to brimil #
- @interjection One down. We'll see if I'm successful with #2 tomorrow night. #
- 2 new projects underway for September that, if completed, will generate a TON of content. You know, w/all the free time I have lying around. #
- @JettSuperior It's so utterly obvious, why have I never heard of it before? in reply to JettSuperior #
- Dear Snookie look-alike on Market wearing I'm Not Short, I'm Fun-Sized tee: There's judging a book by it's cover, & then there are 1pg books #
- @SarahRobinson There will be NO mediocrity this month. in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @SarahRobinson Also, I'll be emailing you interview follow-up questions soon! I piloted it last month, and it starts officially tomorrow :) in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @SarahRobinson Wound up scheduling the debut of our new band lineup at 1 of our fav venues for that week, so I have time to relax beforehand in reply to SarahRobinson #
- Had a long overdue FAME lunch w/ @brimil. It's hard to recall my life before she motivated it…it was just as glam but certainly not as great #
- No sure what's crazier…that I thought Twitter was pointless until @brimil made me try it, or that neither of us had published art back then. #
- @brimil Seriously. Met you, THEN: joined Twitter, jumped out of a plane, met all of my new BFFs, saw @LadyGaga, put out a solo record, et al in reply to brimil #
- @GinoTheFilipino I don't think it's *bad*, but I was expecting more like X-Men #1 or Grant Morrison's INSANE 1st JLA issue from the 90s. in reply to GinoTheFilipino #
- @GinoTheFilipino For real, I would pick up anything Lee. Did you see the re-colored X-Men #1 They're doing a HC of re-c'd XM #1 7 in 2012. in reply to GinoTheFilipino #
- @GinoTheFilipino http://t.co/PHQrA7Z in reply to GinoTheFilipino #
- @platypusjones @GinoTheFilipino That's the Omnibus, which has the original 90s colors. (as if I don't have that pre-ordered :) in reply to platypusjones #
- Man, I hit a few clunkers covering “Physical,” but that's sorta the point – quick covers of songs I don't already play: http://t.co/gdRzehi #
- @SarahRobinson ALWAYS! Whatever algorithm they're using, they need to tell it to advance three more frames every time. in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @interjection Yay for day one of our new habit! I may have just finished up work for day two before my camera died. We'll see… in reply to interjection #
- I think my 1982 song for tomorrow's installment of 30 for 30 MAY be totally awesome. Going in for my first listen now… super-nervous! #
- A little flat on the last verse, but oh man – I played the hell out of this tune. I think that might be a keeper. #
- Why does every damn song from the 80s have to be so damn hard to sing? #
- Big FAME day today: the @jumpphilly issue with an article about @ericsmithrocks & I written by @THICKthin hits the street! #
- I can't wait for y'all to read my #FollowFriday interview with @brimil! It hits the web in about an hour, on crushingkrisis.com #
- @amanda_nan You certainly may :) in reply to amanda_nan #
- Skeptical of a quick guide, but this IS what I tell askers RT @SunSwept 5-Minute Guide to Getting a Job in Social Media http://t.co/sgWg3HM #
- Ate my boss's entire jar of Dove chocolate. Slightly queasy, but feeling very affirmed by all their supportive messages. Well-played, Dove. #
- @brimil @ajohnsru Are you still over there? I think this day may have beaten me into submission. in reply to brimil #
- @brimil @ajohnsru Sticking it out in a show of solidarity with the design team, who are rocking edits on my stuff right now. in reply to brimil #
- If you REALLY NEEDED to take it home with you this weekend as your TOP PRIORITY, why am I here with our designer while you are already gone? #
- Is the SW row of Rittenhouse benches desginated as the smoking section? Plunked down in the midst of all smokers, including a two of cigars! #
- @marykateruf w/e, we rocked it and got a draft out the door. Not everyone has to care as much as you & I. All's well that ends well. in reply to marykateruf #
- "I learned that I should tweet about what I want." @ajohnsru #
- @ryandaniel Loves YOU. We need to get you back in my life @ a HH soon. FYI, @SteveCis interviewed me for my 1st job @ big blue. in reply to ryandaniel #
- Seeing @brimil for a sec after work has turned into Friday FAME 3.0 group life-coaching with @ajohnsru #
- Watching the Phillies & drinking mystery beer. Draw yr own conclusion (@ Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse) http://t.co/ShwnSU2 #
- @saranmatthews Aww, I was even talking about all the awesome blog posts you are going to write in reply to saranmatthews #
- @bengarvey Had to fast forward through increasingly lengthy sections to make it to the end. in reply to bengarvey #
- @Cecilyk FB pages used to have players you could upload to, but it's not worth it; they're not consistently functional and offer no tracking in reply to Cecilyk #
- @Cecilyk Better to upload the song to iLike, ReverbNation, BandCamp, YouTube, or elsewhere and then simply post the link to the FB wall. #
- @WhitneyBender Good lord, I had no idea there were any distances beyond marathon! in reply to WhitneyBender #
- Holed up in my attic recording 30for30 cover songs, reviewing comic books, and writing blog posts. I'm in love with today's cover! #
- Today my cover song is from 1984 – Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," stripped down to its acoustic basics. http://t.co/7dUYg66 #
