Some of my favorite tweets of the last week:
I just discovered my new favorite pastime – showing @not_pele photos of Boo the Dog and listening to the hilarious noises she makes. #
“It basically invented the concept of a cat.” Google creates SkyNet, The Borg, and/or Cyclons & it/they discovered cats http://t.co/mM0MJrKh #
If Fiona Apple is not on the very brink of death that was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I’ll know for sure if she’s alive next year. #
What happened when I broke my good gym-going habit last month? I got lumpy and grumpy, but then I got motivated (again) http://t.co/9iOQbsB1 #
What else did I say in 140 characters or less? See below for the gory details.

- @sayitrahshay Solid 9-5 booked at work, sampling some awesome @HealthyBites meals for a blog entry, then nose to grindstone on my novel. in reply to sayitrahshay #
- @SarahRobinson Ugh, with all this humidity there certainly is a lot of it to say good morning to! in reply to SarahRobinson #
- Awesome longform interview with Woody Allen on countries who pay for movies, casting Tonya Harding, & never sending email… #
- Grr, @Hootsuite, did you want to MENTION my tweet ran too long to include the link? So annoying. Also doesn’t know the LinkedIn update limit #

- Ha, make sure to dab some on your iPad or Kindle! RT @GuyKawasaki: The smell of books in a bottle http://t.co/PWSorSew #

- I love my wonderful civil rights supporting friends on social media, who are slowly going completely insane about the Gay Pride Oreo on FB. #
- @mjsq Depends on the extent. If they’re having a bad day, shake it off. If it’s systemic or offensive, state your dissent & talk to HR. in reply to mjsq #
- Anyone want to lay odds that the Gay Pride Oreo is the work of a Nabisco summer intern gone rogue w/ the keys to the social media accounts? #

- I don’t even know what to say about this Fiona Apple LP. She has completely disarmed my critical response mechanism. #
- @alexcmurphy It does fly by in a flash, doesn’t it? A few of the songs sorta blend into one another from a production standpoint. Goes quick in reply to alexcmurphy #
- Hoping Spider-Man won’t be as catastrophically, ham-handedly awful as 25mins of it suggest b/c I love A. Garfield, but… http://t.co/MeCpwuaj #

- @gloriabell @geoffliving Still? Mine aren’t going anywhere! Although, I’m much more selective now about what I will buy in physical format. in reply to gloriabell #
- @ajohnsru Boo. Clearly we should have continued remote work from our lunch location. in reply to ajohnsru #
- Efficient breakout of possible SCOTUS decisions on health care reform by @citizencohn: http://t.co/Kge1QUeV #
- @digitalmusicnws They gave you a lot of great info and tried to be very helpful in their explanations. Is that why you posted the thread? in reply to digitalmusicnws #
- In my fav seats in the house! (@ Tower Theatre for Fiona Apple w/ @polymwac @alexcmurphy) http://t.co/YeePIfEs #
- After seeing @garbage the next few concerts I attend always seem hopelessly antiquated – so many wires and monitors on stage! #
- @amanda_nan Welcome to my aversion to touching all things while out to eat, sometimes including my own food and drink ;) in reply to amanda_nan #
- If Fiona Apple is not on the very brink of death that was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I’ll know for sure if she’s alive next year. #

- @amanda_nan She was incredible, but looked and sounded as though she might shake her body to dust right in front of us. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @gloriabell Thank you! I know it’s a minor crisis in the scope of the world, but it’s my crisis. in reply to gloriabell #
- @gloriabell That I own? Big white leather easy chair that was my grandmother’s; used to sleep on it in her condo. In concept: chaise lounges in reply to gloriabell #
- Voice: not broken. Need to take it easier, not be as loud all the time, and learn some new tricks – all of which sounds like a fun challenge #
- @DresdenPlaid Thank you, Dresden! I have the all-clear to sing! So excited, but have to be careful not to overdo it :) in reply to DresdenPlaid #

- @valkrye131 I know! But, for certain high notes I just reflexively push from my throat. Broke the habit before, can break it again. in reply to valkrye131 #
- SCOTUS now announcing the opinion on Health Care Reform. I’m nervous. Let’s hope we retain the many gains for Americans’ health care. #
- Says @SCOTUSblog: #SCOTUS upholds #ACA individual mandate. Medicaid provision is limited but not invalidated. (More to come.) #
- Seeing conflicting tweets about #ACA from major newsdesks. Either they’re too quick on the Twitter trigger or not parsing decision the same. #
- @phillybosslady Sounds like all the good stuff is still there – can’t deny you for pre-ex, no lifetime maximums, etc. in reply to phillybosslady #
- “Congress had the power to impose the exaction in Section 5000A under the taxing power …This is sufficient to sustain it.” #SCOTUS #ACA #
- “Congress is not free to…penalize States that choose not to participate in that new program by taking away existing Medicaid funding #SCOTUS #
- “Ginsburg…would go further and uphold the mandate under the Commerce Clause, which Roberts wouldn’t.” (But it’s upheld as a TAX) @SCOTUSblog #
- I’m now done w/ #ACA #SCOTUS bombardment of tweets. My recommended info source is @SCOTUSblog. Now off to communicate about the decision. :) #
- @future_of_music And can now no longer be rejected after time being uncovered simply for a pre-existing condition! in reply to future_of_music #
- PS: Twitter is wonderful. News, explanation, reaction, opinion, & debunking of rumors, all without watching a single televised talking head. #
- @NateErickson L-O-L in reply to NateErickson #
- @taramurtha So cool to see your follow last night – I love your writing! I was so terrified about Fiona around 5 songs in, but got over it. #
- Great brief write-up of Fiona Apple by @taramurth http://t.co/byohdDZs Seriously, opener Fast As You Can alone was worth outrageous ticket $ #
- @Not_Pele Caught that yesterday. Of course, some cultural ramifications of that decision given the locale. in reply to Not_Pele #
- @navelgazingblog Awesome! I feel silly w/how remedial my posts can be as the “unfit” blogger, so it’s good to know fit folks like you dug it in reply to navelgazingblog #
- @not_pele I don’t feel any religion has a right to ritualize abuse and disfigurement of minors, and law should definitely intervene. in reply to Not_Pele #
- What happened when I broke my good gym-going habit last month? I got lumpy and grumpy, but then I got motivated (again) http://t.co/9iOQbsB1 #
