What I Tweeted, 2009-12-13 Edition

December 13, 2009 by krisis

My best and most-interesting tweets of the last week.

Quotes of the week:

If you had to pay $1/yr to follow each person, how many would you follow? Think less about overall spend, more about who/what is worth it. #

I'm like The String Whisperer – I always know when my set is about to start breaking. #

This day was supposed to get progressively easier. It should not feel like I am being beat about the head with a communications shovel. #

Oh: "She's kinda fat for the cover of Fitness." "Honey, it's a fitness magazine, not Emaciation Weekly." "I'd subscribe to that." #

Random childhood memory: jungle boat ride at Disney, age 5. Fell in love with 6yr-old girl across from me. Relationship never consummated. #

Um, #blamedrewscancer just won a phucking @philebrity award and I got on stage and said stuff extemporaneously AND HUGGED JOE SWEENEY. OMFG. #

How does Philadelphia hold all of these amazing people? And, when you meet them you say, "You are awesome, why don't I know you already?" #

Elise thinks that the American Red Cross should team up w/TwiHards across the country to throw special midnight vampire-themed blood drives. #

Highlighted topics/conversations: PANMA Party / Phileb Awards, Filmstar in NYC

You should follow me on Twitter so you can read my tweet action as it happens.

    Sunday Night / Monday

  • Sometimes I read the lopsided lyrics I discard & think I should start an indie rock band that just does my rejected songs. Would be awesome. #
  • @platypusjones It's interesting how things that didn't work in original context can be a delight to revisit. It's why I'm an archiving nut. in reply to platypusjones #
  • @jayvert @platypusjones How long for you before a valid scribble turns to archival material – ie, seriously unfinished. For me, about 4yrs. in reply to jayvert #
  • Fantastic vintage images; apt design comments. RT @iamkhayyam: A Comparative Design Look at Remakes of Movie Posters | http://j.mp/6nTGdf #

  • @amanda_nan News on the Weezer bus incident; further dates on the tour canceled ;( http://bit.ly/8jP8VX #
  • @actionchick @pyrosis I always marvel at how ridiculously fearless Tucker's performance is – not the typical role for a budding action star. in reply to actionchick #
  • If you had to pay $1/yr to follow each person, how many would you follow? Think less about overall spend, more about who/what is worth it. #
  • @SarahPsyDeal Like, would I pay $1 to correspond with you all year? Sure! But, would I pay for all 1,164 people I'm following? Hmm… in reply to SarahPsyDeal #
  • @jshanley I think I might literally start a piggy bank next year where I have to put in $1 for every new person I follow. in reply to jshanley #
  • @khartline I'd love to get to that point! I think lists are helping. The core people I actively engage with is around $500; I'd pay for them in reply to khartline #
  • @coltonperry Isn't our time at least that valuable? If we follow someone we plan to ignore we lose more than $1 in time ignoring them. in reply to coltonperry #
  • Fantastic narrative post from @IttyBiz on remembering your clients are PEOPLE. Highly suggested http://bit.ly/7cng9T (via @transitionaltee) #
  • @adamkmiec @coltonperry A 150 limit on FB is mercenary! There I don't mind bloat, as long as I know people. I'd like to slim down on Twitter in reply to adamkmiec #

  • @mikeyil FYI, I have a Kevin Bacon number of 1 :) in reply to mikeyil #
  • Productive day verges on qualifying for awesome; really want to get home to rehearse before heading out to open mic w/acoustic @filmstarband #
  • I'm like The String Whisperer – I always know when my set is about to start breaking. #
  • New strings, newly cleaned and waxed guitar, and an hour of vocal warmups. I am ready for some music! #
  • Now playing a nearly decade-old original, Icy Cold (@krisis live on http://twitcam.com/7p5j) #
  • Playing in the kitchen is a good way to practice controlling my volume – natural reverb provides easy feedback on how oppressively loud I am #
  • E and I are @ Downey's on front and south to play the open mic and hang w/friends cris valkyria & rob lytle. #
  • Super-fun set of Regenerate, Pokerface, Shake it Off, & Saving Grace. I felt good about it. #
  • Norwegian band I have to listen to: madrugada (via cris valkyria) #

  • I don't like to talk about work on Twitter, but: BLUELINE APPROVED FOR PRINT!!!!! Thank goodness. #
  • I don't know if someone secretly got me high or what, but I am standing here with a basket of FOUR PIES. #
  • Oh: "She's kinda fat for the cover of Fitness." "Honey, it's a fitness magazine, not Emaciation Weekly." "I'd subscribe to that." #
  • And then I was like, "who needs a pumpkin cheesecake when you can have a pumpkin pie AND a cheesecake?" #
  • Wednesday

  • @ryandaniel Interesting article: @michelfortin Top five mistakes all email marketers made in 2009. Yes, you too! http://ff.im/-cF1Xz #
  • @SarahRobinson I'm often stopped by, "I don't want to do X unless the resources/environment is perfect." Which is silly, because it never is in reply to SarahRobinson #

  • @Not_Pele You should just give Vancouver a big kiss if you love it so much. Anyhow, I don't have the writing background they need. in reply to Not_Pele #
  • @mkaisr It's evil – a sports reference AND a meaningless cliche. Cast that demon out! in reply to mkaisr #
  • @mkaisr Most of the time I am in a bad mood I am dehydrated or I need music to be playing in the background :) in reply to mkaisr #
  • Keyboard Mag interviews Tori Amos. A rare interview where a musician gets technical about composing/arranging http://bit.ly/8OadXG #
  • Heard the phrase "on a humbug" for 1st time. Assume it was local/regional, but Google says otherwise. http://bit.ly/660WAW Do you say this? #
  • @dixbert If they're just bordered on the verge I think that person still has enough competence to be a productive member of society. in reply to dixbert #
  • The story (and men) behind my trusty desk reference @FakeAPStylebook http://bit.ly/6QlJTn #
  • Heading home to rehearse AC tunes for next week's hosting of the holiday revue & possible rehearsal taping. Http://facebook.com/arcaticrisis #
  • @platypusjones hard time believing that's not a joke, but I may have to buy the orange flight suit sneakers if it isn't. in reply to platypusjones #
  • Just got admonished by a @septa driver because I "ran out in front" of a bus that was advancing into a crosswalk during a fully red light. #
  • In that instance I'd say the bus was running out in front of ME. Sadly, I don't think I would've hurt anything other than its bike rack. #
  • Insightful post; recommended. RT @STLconciergeGuy: RT @ducttape: Will these trends impact your business next year? – http://twurl.nl/d8cnkn in reply to STLconciergeGuy #

  • @Blueskyfox Context ever so slighly different ;) I was surprised to find the phrase is near to "on a lark." Don't imagine humbugs lark much. in reply to Blueskyfox #

  • Thursday

  • On my way to my press check with design team! Total butterflies to see our beautiful booklet in press sheets. #
  • Random childhood memory: jungle boat ride at Disney, age 5. Fell in love with 6yr-old girl across from me. Relationship never consummated. #
  • @radiocolin That's nearly status quo for me. Only impractical if you're clinging to the dying format of broadcast television. in reply to radiocolin #
  • @radiocolin The article wasn't just about YouTube. They talked about NetFlix streaming, which for me has supplanted the passive watch of TV. in reply to radiocolin #
  • Will it draw a new crowd, or the same audience from 11yrs ago? RT @risekevin Lilith Fair announces initial 2010 lineup http://bit.ly/4THaOm #
  • @radiocolin Definitely agreed there. But the leading-edge of consumers are already increasingly not buying just to watch vanilla broadcast. in reply to radiocolin #
  • Trying to keep my energy up for back-to-back parties tonight w/ @panma & @philebrity … and more? Who knows – I'm off tomorrow ;) #
  • @risekevin I'm a fan of the lineup – old & new – but there's definitely a sharp divide there. Interested in what other young bands they add. in reply to risekevin #
  • Philebrity

  • My resolve in catching a bus evaporated in about five minutes of windchill; now cabbing. And so the evening's expenditures begin. #
  • Planted w/my favorite pair of Dawsons at #panma09 #
  • Oh: me – "Lots of sexy, in-touch people here." @brimil – "What? The Santa is a sex offender?' #
  • Down in front @philebrity non-denominational x-mas bash representing for #blamedrewscancer … hut! #
  • Party already obscenely mean, per @philebrity standards. Now excommunicating Michael Vick. http://twitpic.com/szxf1 #
  • I think we have established ourselves as the heckling table. #
  • Um, #blamedrewscancer just won a phucking @philebrity award and I got on stage and said stuff extemporaneously AND HUGGED JOE SWEENEY. OMFG. #
  • Oh: "Howabout Calvin pees on Michael Vick?" #
  • Jose Garces just called the @philebrity non-denominational x-mas party and awards to accept his award as our #1 phoodie! Hut! #
  • @amyisarockstar Are you in this madhouse? I want to meet you! in reply to amyisarockstar #
  • Any night that ends in a vinyl 80s dance party where I don't know a single person is an unequivocable success. #
  • To think, this all started because Sydney brought me onstage to dance to Last Christmas by Wham!, which Gina declined to learn last night. #
  • @SiDawson I'll take any opportunity to sit on a swing. Good thinking, close to flying. Like a mini skydive. in reply to SiDawson #
  • How does Philadelphia hold all of these amazing people? And, when you meet them you say, "You are awesome, why don't I know you already?" #
  • And now I'm watching Say Anything with my wife in the middle of the night. Because, as it turns out, my life is pretty awesome. #
  • @drew I humbly confess that I have never seen it before, but a few years ago I bought E every John Cusack movie ever made. in reply to drew #
  • Quote of my night RT @Iconic88 RT @llcoolj Progress always involves risk; you can't progress to second base and also keep your foot on first in reply to Iconic88 #
  • @interjection Usually I don't GET a lot of 80s film stuff, but this was seriously missing from my life. in reply to interjection #
  • Weekend

  • Finishing the mix of the Arcati Crisis holiday single. #
  • Enjoyed a remarkably strong performance of 12th Night from bro's high school last night – might be my fav of Shakespeare's comedies. #
  • Tonight? I should be in attendance for @not_pele singing with @filmstarband in NYC. #
  • Elise thinks that the American Red Cross should team up w/TwiHards across the country to throw special midnight vampire-themed blood drives. #
  • @amandapalmer Looking forward to your Gaga blog. Saw you both in the span of 2wks, and you have much in common (in addition to awesomeness). in reply to amandapalmer #
  • Just sent notes to bro's classmates to complement their performances. We've been seeing them for three years now! Feel like I know them. #
  • Filmstar in NYC

  • Listening to "Tattooed Love Boys," about to head into the Holland Tunnel. #
  • NYC is one of those things I like only in concept – like Bob Dylan. As soon as it actually begins I'm ready for it to end. #
  • Oh! Me: I'm going to do some major effing @foursquare on this block. E: Cheater. Me: Not if I buy a dumpling at every restaurant. E: Fair. #
  • If the meter runs out I'll sit in the car for 5m & bluff, b/c I don't drive. I'll say: I am operating this vehicle w/these buttons & levers. #
  • Jazzy singer on 1st was terrif, but I'm on sitting-in-car-so-we-don't-get-a-ticket duty. Had to sit in the driver side to look legit. Scary. #
  • Reminds me of when we were at Bonnaroo and Mary told me I could move the car back a few feet. I was like, "Does the pedal SAY gas?" #
  • Loved 1st act Emily Cavanagh a TON, link coming asap. @filmstarband was in fine form, rocking their newer tunes & a super "Lose My Mind." #
  • Eating sesame sandwiches and dumplings in our parked car in the middle of the lower east side. I may not love NYC, but I love being married. #
  • P: The dumplings are filled w/1000s of tiny shrimp. It's a little creepy E: Like sea monkeys? P: You're not helping E: Or krill? P: I'm done #
  • Addendum: E – "It's good enough for whales, dude." #
  • All 4 sibling units and one adult unit are holed up upstairs from a particularly rowdy teenage cast party. The noise of them is outstanding. #
  • Most disturbing Christmas angel ever? http://twitpic.com/tb8hg #
  • Not that I love sleeping on floors (well, okay, I do), but this was a highly above-average 48-hours of my life. #
  • Inside Man: well-acted, tiresome, indulgent, utterly transparent. Probably isn't going to merit a lengthier review. #
  • 2nd half of our Sunday night double feature: Les Diaboliques. #
