My tweets of the last week:
- After 3 days of dining paired w/seeing a slew of amazing friends, I think I am ready for an entire day spent couched with laptop on my tummy #
- The @jumpphilly article about my collab w/@EricSmithRocks via his novel it out! http://t.co/IsgiInM Transfixed by my hotness in the photos. #
- I really need to buy a nice digital camera so I can sync the studio audio of my covers to the video. My high notes sound assy in the cam mic #
- @ericsmithrocks ? you and me could write a rad #bromance whoa-oh-oh oh-oh… ? @jumpphilly @geekadelphia in reply to ericsmithrocks #
- Enough fawning over comic books – if I don't hunker down and nail another 30 for 30 Project cover song for the blog I'll be unhappy tomorrow #
- @ajohnsru Hmm – she said she'd be off for two weeks, not sure if we're past that yet. I'll bring my stuff, but I have a suspicion it's off. in reply to ajohnsru #
- @toofeets That's awesome! If I hadn't booked a show for the 24th I'd totally go with (unless you're leaving the 25th, in which case I'm in) in reply to toofeets #
- @Remysbaby Thanks for the tip on CK! I was confused 'cuz they label Shock as "Young Justice" in the solicit. What's your top book this week? #
- Good morning! Was your long-weekend packed with activity, or just plain relaxing? #
- @amanda_nan We're slamming through TNG, alternating w/Mad Men. Did you watch MI:5 yet? Dipped a little, but the final few episodes are great in reply to amanda_nan #
- Won't lie: satisfying to read he fired back & wounded a robber RT @phillydotcom Temple student exchanges fire w/robbers http://t.co/zlL2jLM #
- Let me help you perk up (esp. if you're in Philly on this gray day) w/my weekend cover of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go: http://t.co/7dUYg66 #
- @amanda_nan It's truly one of my favorite covers I've ever done. Totally justifies my setting up the recording rig for every video :) in reply to amanda_nan #
- Reviews of the biggest & best comics out last week (Justice League & Uncanny X-Force, respectively) from @Geekadelphia: http://t.co/c4ftTrh #
- @amanda_nan A big part of the fun so far has been simply LEARNING new stuff I can use at shows and open mics. We'll see what the 90s bring… in reply to amanda_nan #
- Get past the title; this article has good tips for WP bloggers: RT @nhc1987 Why you have a broken blog & how to fix it http://t.co/Ogxo25G #
- @interjection I'm going to be seeing tons of sketches this week, yes? :) Hope you're feeling better! #
- I bet you never thought you'd hear an acoustic version of Whitney's "How Will I Know"…& definitely not sung by a guy! http://t.co/UeV3Yxe #
- @Charlie_O I thought you would appreciate that @Klout has scientifically determined that you are influential on the topic of "soylent green" #
- @sayitrahshay That means SO MUCH to hear, especially from someone I love to tweet with! I hope I keep you hooked all month :) in reply to sayitrahshay #
- @sayitrahshay Clearly we need to get together and geek out about comics :) in reply to sayitrahshay #
- @gloriabell Thanks, Gloria! That was a song I never in a million years thought I would cover, but now I can't stop playing it! in reply to gloriabell #
- @ajohnsru @brimil Is it bad that all that I can think of is going back to Serafina for more of that buffalo mozzarella thing? #
- A Philly singer I ? – can't wait to watch! RT @sierrahurtt Check out the video for We Can Do Anything! http://t.co/e3xfWn7 #
- I'm going to cry myself to sleep all next month if I don't find the time to see Philly Fringe show Water Bears in Space http://t.co/xo7NN0O #
- #pennyarcade on DC's New 52 and how Superman (and, really, a lot of DC) can be boring: Krypto-Fascism http://t.co/BCUG4Jl #
- @TeresaBasich If you've wondered why I stopped talking to you, it is because I still had your old blog URL in my reader!!! #
- @TeresaBasich But, wait… even that blog hasn't updated this year. I need my Teresa at length! #
- My Tuesday X-Collections blog post is going to be out mega-late, as we've an extra @Filmstarband rehearsal for Thursday's show @NorthStarBar #
- That said, here's a hint: There are no X-Collections out this week! Instead, I'm spotlighting the month of June, which had a slew. #
- Well, I hope that post helps SOMEBODY, because it took forever and a day to write it. Now, off to record a new cover song. #
- Thank goodness ONE of us in this marriage is a consistent harmony singer or we'd still be recording. I'm talking about @not_pele, of course. #
- Oh, harmony. You make everything more exciting, yet you also make it quite clear when I am singing a quarter-tone flat beneath @not_pele. #
- @Not_Pele @amanda_nan I was brought up to believe that children are for flipping over the vinyl so you can listen to the B-side. in reply to Not_Pele #
- Sweet! @uwishunu highlighted my bandmate @arcati81's "The Grey Area" as a Fringe show to see! http://t.co/jNGy3mD I'll be there Sat night. #
- This is an odd ? but: Do you expect/accept that your employer can use your name/image for promotion, even if that isn't related to your job? #
- For example: Your funny video got 1mill hits; now your employer asked you to star in their own "viral" vid. Do you feel pressured to do it? #
- I'm surprisingly psyched to get back to my journalistic roots by interviewing my fav tweeters for #FF blog posts. Up this Friday: @mikeyil! #
- @alohanico Hmm. It's an interesting question in the SM age. I need to peek at mine to see what it says. in reply to alohanico #
- @mikeyil @Not_Pele This is so happening about 20 minutes from now. in reply to mikeyil #
- @platypusjones Exactly. I think Flashpoint kinda sorta non-explained it. The art in that looked fab in the preview, can't wait to read it! in reply to platypusjones #
- #bdc reunion show @brimil's going away: @schmidtultra @eedawson @mikeyil -I #blamedrewscancer for missing @thatdrew @sarahcooley @amanda_nan #
- @ellenrossano Seems like the amount of work is nearly insurmountable. Lame when schools assign more work instead of more challenging work in reply to ellenrossano #
- Misguided PR stunt misfires: RT @iGoByDoc: When Bloggers Don’t Follow the Script, to ConAgra’s Chagrin – NYTimes.com http://t.co/faQpPVU #
- @ellenrossano I don't think it makes you a helicopter to speak up if something is unreasonable. Kids need some time to eat and sleep, too. in reply to ellenrossano #
- @CarlaYoung @SarahRobinson Love! People chide me for my over-the-top goals; "why set yourself up to fail?" I say: setting myself up to REACH in reply to CarlaYoung #
- The storm woke me up from dozing in the attic. Would leave for work early, but I suspect my trolley might be flooded already… #
- @kerrihomsher Stay safe! It sounds like @septa's lines north of the city got it the worst overnight in reply to kerrihomsher #
- Action Comics #1 Superman spends a vigilante night in Metropolis; Morrison/Morales show more than tell & maybe make Supes interesting again #
- @jayvert @ericsmithrocks @mikeyil We heard "Islands In the Stream" this weekend and it took me forever to realize why it seemed so familiar. in reply to jayvert #
- @thatdrew Such a peeve of mine! I always read at LEAST the 1st para/page of a link before I re-share so it's not an empty game of headlines. in reply to thatdrew #
- @vlahospr I was @ a Labor Day Sunday wedding and nodded approvingly at all getting the last wear out of their white suits :) @unveiledphila in reply to vlahospr #
- @SteveCis Absolutely. E teases me about how hot/cold I am about customer service, but why go back? I say: two strikes, *maybe* three. in reply to SteveCis #
- Can someone please parse this USA Today quote for me? "ZooAmerica houses more than 200 animals representing more than 600 species." #
- Are a lot of the animals the result of inter-species breeding? Are they counting having eaten another species as representing it? #
- @avarielwings @Not_Pele I'm sure switching is the case, but I had a fun moment imagining a park dedicated to accepting inter-species romance in reply to avarielwings #
- One of Philly's best new found spaces for performance, Bookspace, in trouble now that the city found them, too: http://t.co/p165okX #
- To-Do List for tonight: copy-edit @mikeyil's interview, write scripts for @arcati81, review 3 comics, rock stage @northstarbar. What a life. #
- @brimil @thatdrew @amanda_nan @mikeyil @eedawson @schmidtultra @sarahcooley @mandy_payne @alexknowshtml I'm @northstarbar right now…deja vu! in reply to brimil #
- @mikeyil Good lord, between your interview answers and my long-winded introduction this is gonna be a doozy :) #
- @mikeyil I'm trying! I just got it under 2k. I'll feel accomplished if I can get it down to 1.5 in reply to mikeyil #
- Every rock band always looks so much more accomplished than I feel when I'm playing. Could I possibly look as legit as this opening band? #
- @amanda_nan Playing @northstarbar for the first time with @Filmstarband, who I don't believe have been here since two years ago tomorrow :) in reply to amanda_nan #
- @amanda_nan Oh: @mikeyil is my #FF interview tomorrow, and we went SO SO OVERLONG on the interview. in reply to amanda_nan #
- Ultra-competent/confident band I'm enjoying is @TaxicabRacers. From Nashville; remind me of pared-down @Freelancewhales maybe a lil DeathCab #
- @Phillygrrl Does he not disclose this stuff so you can live dangerously? Or,are you like,"this tastes great, try it!" before you remember? in reply to Phillygrrl #
- Actually, maybe neither of those descriptions are approps, but I'm enjoying the set. Love indie-rock bands that are right on the line of pop #
- @amanda_nan I'm so glad to hear that! This is a pretty radical departure, I'm kinda terrified I'm scaring away my few persistent readers. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @lendamico @amanda_nan Thank you Len! I'm hoping to be back w/some awesome ones next week! Really stuck for 90 & 92, if you have suggestions in reply to lendamico #
- @mikeyil Is there some central repository of all your Fiesta stuff? #
- Sax for pure tonal noise in pop music; shades of David Bowie. Love. #
- @lendamico @amanda_nan Haven't decided my ruling on covers of previously known songs. Alone is sorta a cover, but original was mega obscure in reply to lendamico #
- @amanda_nan @lendamico There is a certain rap song I really really want to do. I'll practice this weekend to see if it is remotely doable in reply to amanda_nan #
- @bestpopacts Bought myself? I know I was obsessed with Thriller as a wee one but w/my own money it was likely "Forever Your Girl." No shame. in reply to bestpopacts #
- Detective Comics #1 a keen, brutal reintro to Batman/Joker dynamic w/several twists (not just of the knife). Easily tracks from Dark Knight #
- We are totally taking Taxicab home with us. Stop it, I mean to camp out on the floor. Cool to have a band take us up on the offer ;) #
- Well, that's the first time I've sweat off my band stamp entirely during a set. #
- @jshanley My fav! If we were playing in the city intead of N of it i'd totally swing by ;) in reply to jshanley #
- @phillydesign AWESOME. Seriously can't wait to check @milkboyphilly out later this month. Philly seriously needed a venue there. in reply to phillydesign #
- Headlining band has awesome LED lights – they look like music stands and the whole flat surface of them lights up in strobing RGB. WANT. #
- Custom stage lighting makes a huge difference in presentation. I played a set this year w.another band's light rig on us, looked SO slick. #
- I'll admit the Social Do-Gooder part of my post on @MikeyIl is mostly in my head. I feel lhe leaves cool new connections in his social wake. #
- Avoiding 9/11 coverage but: 1 of airforce's 1st woman fighter pilots nearly responsible for ramming Flight 93 from air http://t.co/KDyyp6s #
- @amanda_nan Interesting on so many levels – armed response, feminism, the decisions being made that day. Really left my speechless. in reply to amanda_nan #
- DeliMag covers my friend @DanteBucci, playing 10p tonight @TinAngelPHL w/Vicky Spaeth & Andrea Nardello, who I adore! http://t.co/GLmCcLJ #
- What if I got some feather extensions? #
- @dantebucci LOL, I thought you were the one that shared it on FB! I guess I must have seen it directly from their page. in reply to dantebucci #
- @Not_Pele No! I'm still obsessed with Stefani's! in reply to Not_Pele #
- @Not_Pele @amanda_nan Sounds like an Elaine jam to me. in reply to Not_Pele #
- @brimil I was expressly forbidden from proposing in any stadiums or public events, which was a good move, as that would have been my plan. in reply to brimil #
- Woman on elevator complaining not emough restaurants open after hotel evacuated her to safety during a hurricane. But she, you know, LIVED. #
- Detective Comics #1 a keen, brutal reintro to Batman/Joker dynamic w/several twists (not just of the knife). Easily tracks from Dark Knight #
- @amanda_nan @anniemal There MIGHT be something in the works for November related to that… I have to survive this 30for30 insanity first. in reply to amanda_nan #
- And… E and I both take naps without communicating our nap-intent to the other, thus missing the concert we swore we would attend. Good job #
- @thatdrew That's a fun way to drive tips – people are compelled to vote, so more likely to throw in! in reply to thatdrew #
- @interjection As you maybe saw, I decided a song a day wasn't a tenable plan, as quality was going to decline. Probably daily every other wk #
- @joeross Hey, don't hate, I spent a very enjoyable half lifetime being unable to do it before figuring it out so I could get my license ;) in reply to joeross #
- Maximum frustration: Left my phone at IKEA. Was planning to buy new phone, but can't without old phone. Ikea has no human beings picking up. #
- Bonus frustration: Can't suspend my line without logging into TMobile, but I've never done that before, so they want to text me a PW. Great. #
- @claremontroad @onlyguyatzumba @thekrismohfanz Phone is locked down like whoa so no one but me can answer – BUT, they did find it :) in reply to claremontroad #
- @suz925 If you had stayed at the hotel you could have heard my original live rendition of it :) in reply to suz925 #
- @suz925 I don't think we go home until past 4am. It was a long night. in reply to suz925 #
