What I Tweeted, 2012-06-03 Edition

My tweets of the last week:

Woke up at 6:30a to start setting up the studio for Arcati Crisis's first Live @ Rehearsal session since 2008! #
In possession of over an hour of just-recorded Arcati Crisis music! I wish you were all here to hear it. We'll share a sneak-peek on Tuesday #
@RobIsEvil That is one of the many hilarious spell-corrections that is sometimes wrought on our name, yes. I prefer "A cat in crisis." in reply to RobIsEvil #
Searched for something I honestly don't know the answer to, and one of the top 10 hits was my blog. Not that it knew the answer, but…really? #
@bsii I thought that, but I signed out and switched to a private window and still got my blog! I think I just have all the keywords. in reply to bsii #
@bsii And, how are you? ;) in reply to bsii #
@eddidit @mayanorthen Ditto that. I try to hold out until June before we hit the AC, but it was too unbearable last night to sleep properly. in reply to eddidit #
I have now been working on creative projects for 18 hours, with a teeny catnap and plate of dinner to break things up. Who needs TV? #
@sarcasmically Well, that sounds utterly terrifying. in reply to sarcasmically #
@sarcasmically Not to minimize the utter terror, but can't you hose them down, or something? Like, anything to cool their ardor. in reply to sarcasmically #
@mayanorthen @eddidit I'm okay when I can crash on a low floor with windows, but I've been in the attic writing and mixing, which is swampy. in reply to mayanorthen #
@mayanorthen @eddidit Aside from Everglades vacations, if that's your sort of thing. in reply to mayanorthen #
@HennArtOnline Eh, I say has more to do w/ distance from the toilet, force of stream, etc. I suppose a huge urethra would make a difference. in reply to HennArtOnline #
@ChrisUrie Should I be eagerly anticipating even more words from you, or shall I start reading what you sent a few weeks ago? #
@ChrisUrie Still need to find the time to pen my Apoca-story, maybe between this mtg & the next. Also trying to get to two chapters per mtg. in reply to ChrisUrie #
Heading to blueberry country NJ to do some semi-illicit river tubing. Last time we got both cars stuck in the pine barrens. Should be fun. #
On the scale of near-death experiences, that ranks about a 4, below Bikram Yoga. #
And now I will fetch my underpants from the side of the road. #
On the scale of sacrificing half my belongings while battling a spider the size of my entire band in the middle of the river it ranks 200%. #
Ben Folds Five singalong in the car. Oh my god, their Kickstarter means they are going to TOUR. Nostalgia, engage. #
There is no context in which I want it to be this warm or sunny before 9am that doesn't involve a pool or a daquiri. #
@ChrisUrie I don't see your story on the Dropbox, did anyone hook you up with that? in reply to ChrisUrie #
@Muldwych I see you are properly deep into AoA ;) in reply to Muldwych #
@ErnieAtLYD I dunno, I tend to like coaches who practice w/me, but seeing their better writing would be more depressing then inspirational. in reply to ErnieAtLYD #
@Remender The Objectifier. in reply to Remender #
@Muldwych Yes, aside from the two stories from Chronicles book one is a bit of a dud, I tell people they can skip it if they want. in reply to Muldwych #
@RoxieKat Seriously, I cannot handle this stuff before 10am. Not enough time to mentally prepare for the heat. in reply to RoxieKat #
@RoxieKat Easier to deal with yesterday when I spent five hours partially submerged in a river. in reply to RoxieKat #
Listen to a sneak preview of tunes we're working on for our next Live @ Rehearsal LP, http://t.co/4xgcAGKx including some well-known covers! #
@garbage You were amazing in AC and you looked SO HAPPY! I hope you' tour the US again in the fall & get LOTS of radio singles out of NYKoP. #
Great SM story w/Philly connect RT @SocialBrown How Lady Gaga's manager reinvented the celebrity game with social media http://t.co/SARGmmAb #
The @Kickstarter campaign for @AmandaPalmer's new record breaks $1mill in fundraising, with an average of almost $50 per fan! #WeAreTheMedia #
Shows (a) big projects can be fan-funded, too (b) engaged fans will spend more than $12 for something more than a CD (c) labels are obsolete #
Food for thought: when 20,000 donating fans receiving a copy of @amandapalmer's LP, her indie campaign would/could/will? chart on Billboard. #
@paullucci So very true. And they tend to be people constantly buried in Outlook messages … hmm, I wonder why. in reply to paullucci #
@not_pele RT @googlephilly Gluten-Free in Philly? Follow @GFPhilly for a listing of gf-friendly restaurants! #gf #
I don't think I can recall a single heat-dismissal in my 6yrs RT @bigalittlea Philly schools closing early due to heat. http://t.co/jMwBKVnO #
@interjection My HS was five floors with no AC aside from the library, and we suffered through every hot day just fine. Kids these days…;) in reply to interjection #
I think Snark's is the best clip-on instrument tuner on the market right now, and @Amazon has it for a silly $12! http://t.co/1GMmBh9K via #
@sargenthouse Wow, sounds like my dream home! Congrats. in reply to sargenthouse #
Client presentation, working on the blue blog, & 1 of my all-time fav interns has returned. That's a good post-vacation return to the office #
@allieharch Is it standard size, or bigger/thicker? The comic shop I went to in France was almost all graphic novels, not many singles. in reply to allieharch #
@ActionChick Stumped on films, but we just watched that epi of Game of Thrones over the weekend ;) in reply to ActionChick #
@stoweboyd Indeed, I have a lot of shortlinks tied up in @bitly all over the web, scary to think about them all going away! in reply to stoweboyd #
I've now been w/ @Verizon for cell & mobile net for a year and they've covered me EVERYWHERE, including other cities & their subway tunnels. #
@stoweboyd No immediate @bitly worry, but a comment on how much we depend on services we have no control over (which I try to avoid!) in reply to stoweboyd #
@MaryeStew Surely this can be into some sort of science fair experiment on dog short term memory… in reply to MaryeStew #
@inflammatorywrt One of the best gifts of a blog is revisiting prior versions of yourself ;) in reply to inflammatorywrt #
@PhillyGG in my book, unexpectedly feeling a stranger's breath on you is one of the grossest sensations. in reply to PhillyGG #
@polymwac That's a tempting offer, but you're going to edit all these chapters for me eventually anyway ;) in reply to polymwac #
@slashfilm Because renaming a film with a generic Person Name worked out so well for John Carter. in reply to slashfilm #
In which Gabe cries, and so I cry while reading… RT @cwgabriel my probably TLDR post about the Reuben awards & the NCS: http://t.co/ebO7UlNT #
@AmberCadabra Haha, I know that all too well. Saving some for returns, others that seem sturdy, a couple I forgot about completely… in reply to AmberCadabra #
@interjection As I was pounding on my internet in the subway tunnel I reflected that I used to complain about T-Mobile & Cricket CONSTANTLY in reply to interjection #
@ChrisUrie Can you resend your piece and/or upload to Dropbox (just invited you). I cannot find it any dang place. #
@eddidit they should just use lettuce instead – problem solved! in reply to eddidit #
@eddidit well, ostensibly it is to keep your hands off the wrap and the wrap off your hands… in reply to eddidit #
Good morning! What one thing are you most looking forward to doing today? #
@TheSunQueen Camden Market in London, just because you never know what your might find there. in reply to TheSunQueen #
@DirtyGert The writing has been good this year, but the cover choices and photos are so dull! in reply to DirtyGert #
@SmallBizLady Mostly, but then ended with a scary social media stress nightmare. Since when did SM become nightmare fodder? Eek. in reply to SmallBizLady #
@DirtyGert I have a lifetime subscription which has long since paid for itself ;) in reply to DirtyGert #
Hometown girl Tina Fey joins the fray against cutting arts from all elementary schools in my district. You should too. http://t.co/rKt4D1fC #
@ComicMovieTrap I always say if you're a bigot of any kind you really shouldn't let your kids read X-Men. It's like an Anti-Bigotry Cookbook in reply to ComicMovieTrap #
@brimil You can share the same stuff to a 2nd email to sync them. Our band stuff is set up under band's email but it's shared to my personal in reply to brimil #
Super-tempted to snag this Woot deal, it's been a while since I've had my own camera. RT @Woot Kodak Z5120 16MP Camera http://t.co/WFjWLPGX #
Hear what my band has been up to in the studio in under 90 seconds: Arcati Crisis Live @ Rehearsal, 2012 – Trailer #1 http://t.co/fyZRNKoZ #
You might be surprised by some of the covers you recognize… #
@theoreticalgirl Duly noted. Fake SLR-ness is a turnoff. I either want a cam I can pocket or a real DSLR. Old cam stolen from our wedding ;( in reply to theoreticalgirl #
@theoreticalgirl I just want something that will snap a decent low-light shot, as that's the only thing I ever seem to do. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
@mayaREguru Oh no! That is the worst, and I've been experiencing click of death a lot. I sadly have no good suggestions that were affordable in reply to mayaREguru #
@mayaREguru I will take a look at my email history this evening to try to pluck out some of the more responsive folks for you. in reply to mayaREguru #

Madonna rehearses "Express Yourself / Born This Way" mashup for tour! http://t.co/AIpLYT58 Almost enough to make me pick up a >$300 ticket. #
@schmidtultra Did you go to that open mic? We wanted to go last night, but they didn't have it ;( #
Just signed up with @amanda_nan to volunteer for @140conf NYC! I can't wait for what has become my yearly pilgrimage to the big apple ;) #
Whether this is you or yr mgmt, it's worth reading RT @incmagazine Signs You're a Terrible Communicator http://t.co/buYamESl via @lizstrauss #
@amanda_nan Oo, we can use Venmo to balance the books at @140conf this year ;) in reply to amanda_nan #
@urphillypal Dunno how I was not following you previously, but that era is now over ;) #
@amanda_nan Hmm, dunno, I just did it via the website to this point. in reply to amanda_nan #
@mayanorthen Including my little brother. I cannot deal with this fact. in reply to mayanorthen #
Finally have my laptop up and running again. Three weeks of being tied to desktops and editing novels on my phone not exactly my idea of fun #
@johnbiggs I swore the same thing about all of the comic books and guitars, and I have and feel very similarly. in reply to johnbiggs #
Awesome. Can NYC succeed where Philly failed? RT @krupali
RT @BreakingNews NYC plans to ban sale of sodas >16oz http://t.co/HvlPtXNb #
Good morning! What are you planning to do today that will put a smile on your face? #
@johnbiggs Haha, that captures my feelings perfectly. in reply to johnbiggs #
I know that's not the most positive or comforting message to see at this hour, but it perfectly captures my feelings on flip flops in public #
OMG, is it Christmas?! RT @Sheamus HUGE! You can now schedule posts directly from FB Pages. Rolling out as we speak. http://t.co/BEH9dMta #
@leesafar I think the more oddball the communications between two musicians, the more likely it is that they really GET each other ;) in reply to leesafar #
@mayaREguru Happy Thursday to you! Didn't find any particularly helpful HD recovery emails for you ;( but advice: switch to solid state. in reply to mayaREguru #
@BrandiNeloms Totally admirable. No matter what their job is, that should be everyone's goal. in reply to BrandiNeloms #
@jayvert Sweet! Added to all the songwriting you're apparently up to, i'd say that adds up to a prett awesome week ;) in reply to jayvert #
@stevegarfield Still frozen, even! in reply to stevegarfield #
@gloriabell Surely we can find a smile for you before then? ;) in reply to gloriabell #
@jayvert I'm in a crazy lyrics phase right now, trying not to break out of the zone by forcing melody onto all of them right away. in reply to jayvert #
@gloriabell I am super blessed, today and always. The only way for me to be miserable is to willfully ignore all the blessings I've got. in reply to gloriabell #
@jeffpulver Good morning, Jeff! Hope it's a happy one, wherever you find yourself today. in reply to jeffpulver #
@DresdenPlaid Thank you for making me laugh like a crazy person on the El. I fit in so much better now. in reply to DresdenPlaid #
Dear fellow El rider: the late 90s have DMed me, and they want their shorts belted below the ass cheeks back. So they can BURN THEM. #
@ShellyKramer @TheDudeDean @Minervity I love those illustrations so much! They're such good character studies, classic costume versions. in reply to ShellyKramer #
We get one day over 90 and all of Philly's awesomely terrifying powers of barely-there fashion are activated for the entire season. #
@k8iedid The building with the awesome nose out front! in reply to k8iedid #
I'm playing the next two Mondays w/ @filmstarband at Lickety Split on South St, if you're a Philly friend who hasn't seen me rock in a while #
@k8iedid 35th and Market: http://t.co/ydV8hanA in reply to k8iedid #
@brainpicker Do I *really* want to read that at 9am? I am morbidly curious. in reply to brainpicker #
I am suddenly losing my voice. Not super-convenient with eight rehearsals/performances in the next eight days. Oh dear. #
@SteveCizzle It is the best thing ever. I feel like jumping up and down. in reply to SteveCizzle #
Have you heard the sneak preview from my band's newest Live @ Rehearsal session? Some familiar favs along w/our songs: http://t.co/fyZRNKoZ #
Not losing my voice w/o a fight: ate a salad with every vegetable in the whole salad bar, now drinking something that tastes like liquid sun #
I love that she is changing the economy of music! Wish I could be in NYC tonight to celebrate. RT @amandapalmer the economist just called. #
@Cecilyk OMG, I wanted one SOOO bad when we were mattress shopping! I love the super-cooling fabric they use, might still get a cover of it. in reply to Cecilyk #
@shunmahoney Re:my Thrones whining RT @StevenBrust
"If you can't get excited about things that are going to end poorly, life is not for you" #
New @MiekaPauley LP in our mailbox with my and @not_pele's names in the liner notes!!! #
@shunmahoney You'd think with my ability to hang in through nearly fifty years of X-Men comic books I could deal with an open-ended disaster in reply to shunmahoney #
@shunmahoney PS: @StevenBrust is my favorite fantasy author, I ought to lend you something. #
Good morning! #
@not_pele Did The Events Of ‘Inglourious Basterds’ Change The Rest of Quentin Tarantino’s Film Universe? http://t.co/8gcNyoRy (@slashfilm) #
@aleiter I've always assumed they were on some sort of pithy Christian sayings email list or something. Confirm/Deny? in reply to aleiter #
I could seriously start a Twiiter account solely to document things I see and hear on the Market-Frankford El. Never a dull, unfreaky moment #
@brimil Indeed! Are you at Rittenhouse all weekend? Trying to think if there is a time I can sneak by. in reply to brimil #
@kerrihomsher Right back at you! All your blue friends miss you! Have you completely altered the Swedish way of thinking, yet? in reply to kerrihomsher #
@aleiter HAH. I cannot decide if he would be in the wrong line of work or not. Don as a Pastor… in reply to aleiter #
Great quick read; tradition FTW. RT @brainpicker Fascinating brief history of why TV cycle follows the calendar it does http://t.co/QLYnQtTL #
Just saw an awesome presentation from @hellotierney on brand position/equity. Amazing insight. Wish I could ask questions all day! #
@mariatsciarrino I would love that! One of my fav topics. in reply to mariatsciarrino #
@jerseyshorejen It was a scary view last Friday, could only see the rocks and the cranes stretching up into the mist – no beach. V. Creepy. in reply to jerseyshorejen #
@ericsmithrocks @Nedroid Gah, I feel like that's what FB has become, since the algorithm likes highly shared media. Twitter is actual convo. in reply to ericsmithrocks #
@ComicMovieTrap Came up when people said they thought X-Statix was inappropriate content for an X-book. Seriously? Have they read X-books? in reply to ComicMovieTrap #
Work meeting topics today: tattoos, cowbells, mom bloggers, lip rings, JC Penney Father's Day ad, licensing indie music, sports photography. #
@hellotierney Certainly a better kickoff to the day than I was anticipating; tied up many brain cells for the day considering possibilities in reply to hellotierney #
@philohagen JEALOUS! All of my friends are chattering about when we will see it next week. So geeked out that Scott shot in in 3D! in reply to philohagen #
Best 2021 album you've bought that is not getting enough play/attention. Go! #

@missrogue That is the only way I know how to rough it ;) in reply to missrogue #
@LenKendall Hahaha, I have been so tempted to do that in the past. I guess I'm not evil enough. in reply to LenKendall #
@DresdenPlaid True story: this could be the most excited I have ever been for a Pixar movie. in reply to DresdenPlaid #
@realityblurred You'd think he'd know by now the problems w/someone who is unstable, cannot sing, & has all of their songs written for them. #
@DresdenPlaid That sounds awesome. We band geeks are crazy about so many of this summer's movies: Brave, Spider-Man, Lincoln Vamp Hunter… in reply to DresdenPlaid #
@DresdenPlaid I said Geeks, right? I am expecting high quality B movie that invites a MST3K talkalong, those are the best ;) in reply to DresdenPlaid #
@sarcasmically Any further news on the reptile love shack beneath your home? in reply to sarcasmically #

@socialbrown @shunmahoney Re: consumerism RT @chiah 16% patients in US now look at $ for healthcare before getting care http://t.co/EttYFnDa #
@ThePhaggot Yes! They are having a deservedly rough week with the espousing hate and bigotry. I love it. in reply to ThePhaggot #
@sarcasmically My next suggestion is renting mongooses. Mongeese? in reply to sarcasmically #
@THEkrismohfanz Chained to various computers. Also: watching YT video of your Beyonce routine. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
Between Earth 2's Green Lantern coming out and X-Men's Northstar's same sex wedding this might be the gayest summer in comics history. #noh8 #
@chiah Interesting to see which insurers will be able to support consumerism with actual data/$s for members…definitely a challenge. in reply to chiah #
Always fascinated how much a private company is willing to endorse/supply unhealthy food. It's their own health care costs they're driving! #
@ComicMovieTrap Is it bad that I think it's a cop-out that they used an alt-universe character, or am I just a jaded comics fan? in reply to ComicMovieTrap #
Not all the good songs come easy. Sometimes the best song is one that has to fight its way out of you. #
@platypusjones Yep, you really did say "false scrotums"… in reply to platypusjones #
@PhillyBurbMom A perfect excuse for blanket forts! (I cannot be the only grown-up who still appreciates a solid blanket fort.) in reply to PhillyBurbMom #
@billrowland If it's any comfort, you probably are not going to starve. The exposure might get you. Stay away from frozen foods aisles. in reply to billrowland #
I am now beginning to prefer @not_pele's gluten-free pizza crust to regular pizza. Amazing. If you are GF you should ask her for the recipe! #
@amanda_nan This was not part of your teachings RT @PhilaOEM
Never drive thru flooded roadways. Just 2ft of water can sweep an SUV off road. #
@AmyVernon Or a really awesome classic X-Files episode :) (hmm, or maybe that was the Arctic Circle?) in reply to AmyVernon #
On 5th rewatch of X-Men First Class I'm starting to notice Michael Fassbender's terrible accent work. Irish brogue cuts through every line! #
@amanda_nan Not so much. in reply to amanda_nan #
Good morning! #
@marykateruf Note for next week: we can use @followerwonk to compare the overlap of multiple Twitter users, handy for influencers. #
@Remysbaby See @not_pele's latest tweet to me for the recipe & instructions :) in reply to Remysbaby #
Good grief, @Twitter – I'm in jail for unfollowing four people in a row? Is that really all that suspicious, as shady Twitter activity goes? #
Super-excited for a @filmstarband rehearsal to learn three new songs! Let's face it, I am a new song junkie. See us on South St on Monday! #
Holy moly, Glenn is not holding back with the crazy chord progressions. Lots of challenging bass work for me today. #
I love being a bassist in addition to fronting my own band. Writing for vocal and guitar is creation. Arranging for bass is a logic problem. #
@KaiKaiOwen Haha, happy our fine city is treating you well :) in reply to KaiKaiOwen #
@KaiKaiOwen If you've never been here before, also seek out the following in ascending order of hunger: soft pretzel, Tastykake, cheesesteak in reply to KaiKaiOwen #
