My tweets of the last week:
- Good morning! #
- If you trust my taste in non-superhero comic books at all, get thee to @thwipster today & buy all 3vols of the brilliant Unwritten for $23. #
- Unwritten is like Harry Potter through a Sandman lens. Utter fun to read, many references to classic literature. Vol4 out in the next month. #
- @OnlyGuyAtZumba It felt so good to finally go to class again last week! Alas, Monday class is nearly impossible to make time for :( You? in reply to OnlyGuyAtZumba #
- @JoPincushion understood; thought I felt okay but now that i'm sitting here I want to hide my head under the covers. Blerg. in reply to JoPincushion #
- @brimil And thus you verify my reasons for not vacationing there in the summer. in reply to brimil #
- @platypusjones Dude, read the Grant Morrison Batman arc this weekend. Screw Bruce, I want to read his Dick & Damian FOREVER. #
- Need to decide what my thrust of blogging will be for this month before I head into @NaNoWriMo next month to write the 2nd book of my story! #
- Obama Calls @LadyGaga A Little Intimidating http://t.co/HdPqVIvC Hilarious; also touching that Gaga pressed him on anti-bullying campaign. #
- @platypusjones Not entirely trashed, but tweaked – and they have the next chapter of Morrison's Inc out as an 80pg 1-shot in December. in reply to platypusjones #
- I guess one of the reasons you have to check with Facilities before installing live plants is that our floor now has a moth infestation. #
- @brimil We can start tweeting entirely in French if you think it will help. I'll warn you, it'll all be in the present tense. in reply to brimil #
- @alejoplay seriously, I'd say "glammest superbowl ever" if it wasn't for Prince having done one. in reply to alejoplay #
- If every time I have been to your deli for the past 8yrs customers are in a confused lump asking each other ?s you need to reeval yr process #
- @alejoplay Love Song has always been one of my all-time favs – I guess one of hers too, since she pilfered it. in reply to alejoplay #
- @IXiiVRecords You nailed it w/"most informative." I was resistant, wanted to use my artist/ blog home page, but it's a chance to add context in reply to IXiiVRecords #
- @SarahRobinson I'm stealing that term. in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @SarahRobinson "whimpering sick" – seems to imply the whimpering is worse than the disease. That's totally what I am like when I'm sick. in reply to SarahRobinson #
- @brimil C'est plus facile parce que tu es dans le centre du la language Francais…tu ecoutes le mots partouts! in reply to brimil #
- @brimil (PS: j'utilise "translate.google.com" seulment pour vérifier je trouve les mots droit) in reply to brimil #
- @theoreticalgirl Fast response to complaints/negative sentiment; convo will happen w/or w/o you. +, build relationships w/brand ambassadors. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- @theoreticalgirl I suppose you could call that all ego stroking. I know we've saved people money, aggravation, losing their coverage, et al #
- @theoreticalgirl Oh, I think you can def make case it's not all self-promo. I think here our big edu was "It's NOT all self-promo, back off" in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- @theoreticalgirl I can see how someone who thinks SM is all blasting promo would say "why do I need new responsibility/position to do that" in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- I ♥ this, but she may actually be Batwoman ;) RT @phillymag Cecily Tynan in a Catwoman costume. You're welcome. http://t.co/bbZel3HD #
- @theoreticalgirl Clearly you're right. I've def been through this along w/ @socialbrown & @MelGreiner in the past few yrs, so talk as needed in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- @SteveCis @mtomasetti @ChatterBlast @matropolis All the more reason I need to pay y'all a visit to see/meet you & see the office sometime :) in reply to SteveCis #
- For fun, before entering each client meeting I decide which member of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce I plan to channel. #
- @realestatechick Sort of jives w/my existing MO, which is deciding if each mtg needs me to be a brainstormer, a supporter, or a challenger. in reply to realestatechick #
- Thinking about MadMen jives w/my existing client MO of deciding if each mtg requires me to be a brainstormer, a supporter, or a challenger. #
- Being "yes guy" or "logical negative" at EVERY mtg helps no one. A good account mgr will adapt their approach to different clients/projects. #
- @realestatechick Struck me when Don finally said, "I'm not an account guy." Just like I'm not a designer, we all have a sphere to specialize in reply to realestatechick #
- @bengarvey Nothing drives me more crazy than someone who ONLY knows how to be logical negative. It's an amazing skill, if you can modulate. in reply to bengarvey #
- @brimil I had to look up "partouts," I wanted to say something like "toutes les places." Also I think I could have used a pronounce for mots in reply to brimil #
- Incisive dissection & visual representation of raw music industry data re: declining sales, from Feb. http://t.co/RhLP9s2z cc @IXiiVRecords #
- @brimil Dude! http://t.co/ocpUtmM9 Le Louvre est flambé?! Qu'est-ce que tu entends là? #
- @ajohnsru @brimil I don't know where all the idiotic ginger hate came from in the past few years, but I define it as bullying/discrimination in reply to ajohnsru #
- @phillybosslady The point I draw is that the industry doesn't know / can't actually sell what people are willing to spend on right now. in reply to phillybosslady #
- I never thought I'd be sitting at home during an open mic arranging Lady gaga in three part harmony for my band to cover, but here we are. #
- @brimil La pluparts de la Francais que je souviens est les mots que resemblement mots dans Anglais. Je suis mauvais avec noms de choses. in reply to brimil #
- @brimil …et aussie verbes dans Anglais qui ont deux mots dans Francais, comme "sound" (i.e. "sound" l'alarme vs. "sounds" comme la guitare) in reply to brimil #
- I am enjoying my new policy of only tweeting at @brimil in French while she lives in Paris. I think @brimil may be enjoying it less. #
- @jen_k @adeceve @brimil I always went with lots of "Alors… ummm," but you have to say the "um" with a fantastic accent. :) in reply to jen_k #
- @jen_k @adeceve @brimil Really? It sounds so weird to say it after "Alors" :) in reply to jen_k #
- @jen_k Ha, that's a good one. Is "chais" an official contraction of that, or just a verbal contraction like "wanna" in reply to jen_k #
- @jen_k That whole colloquial layer terrifies me more than idioms. in reply to jen_k #
- As love as I love to tease U2, all it takes is charting one of their older songs to see the power in what they did with a handful of chords. #
- Five hours, arranged three of our four upcoming cover songs. If only I was getting paid some sort of wage for band work, I'd be mega rich :) #
- Good morning! #
- @b_katt Argh, I hate cars. Why should a light bulb & process of replacing a light bulb ever cost that much anywhere but on a space station? in reply to b_katt #
- Dear El seat-mate reading my screen: I promise my life is way more exciting than your book :) #
- @brimil Bonjour, ma amie! Cette matin je travaille sur Le FAME sur l'El avant j'arrive la Grande Bleue. #
- Fairly excited for today: a few projects to launch, productive presentation/discussion to new clients, & then acoustic NEW SONGS rehearsal! #
- @brimil Pour le fame? Arcati Crisis choisissons six chansons nouvelles jouer (un chanson est Lady Gaga :). Comment est ta peinture? in reply to brimil #
- @brimil Meh, all those little prepositions, I forget what has curlicues under them and what is masculine feminine. in reply to brimil #
- @theoreticalgirl WANT. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- @theoreticalgirl @tangofoxtrot H&M has been rocking the jackets this year. Our bassist has a nifty modern Sgt Pepper's jacket he got there. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
- @thwipster The images above your first three survey questions aren't working at the moment. Also, you're killing me w/week of Vertigo :) #
- @thwipster If you offer a bundled run of Lucifer I think my wife may cut up my credit cards. in reply to thwipster #
- More proof that DIY facilities is a bad idea: the temporary door I put in my cube just collapsed on me. @marykateruf almost had to rescue me #
- @thwipster Ahh, but clearly you have it in the works :) in reply to thwipster #
- @thwipster PS: Photo issue may be on my side, not being able to see files from Dropbox on this connection. I'll try later on another network in reply to thwipster #
- Sent an email that began with, "It is effing ridiculous that modern society has reached a point where I have to ask you this question, but…" #
- @marykateruf @Not_Pele I will totally do that on a weekend morning, let's make it so. in reply to marykateruf #
- @brimil OMG, running around Paris? ::DIES:: I think that could make me a runner. Have you rented one of those bicycles yet? in reply to brimil #
- @suz925 Each new network and technology just adds another layer of mystical etiquette to our already tangled days. in reply to suz925 #
- @Not_Pele @brimil I didn't know any of the vocab in that one :( in reply to Not_Pele #
- Spoke to the friendliest, most-helpful call rep on the face of the planet @Verizon. Told her manager if she lived in Philly I would hire her #
- Funny colloquial things only I say: 1. It's not brain SCIENCE (instead of "surgery"). 2. He's on his death LEGS (instead of "bed"). #
- Dude. Basic office etiquette: If you will not be in the office, block your calendar. If someone looks busy, ask if you can interrupt. C'mon! #
- On the plus side, my new teammate has already figured out how to get a 10-minute burst of Mario-style invincibility out of me w/sour candy. #
- Exhausting rehearsal, but we did learn six new songs – many complete with harmony. So there. #
- Good morning! #
- @amanda_nan So, what if I met you in NC next June to rent an RV and then we drove to Bonnaroo…? #
- These books are super-awesome, like grown-up Potter graphic novels. RT @thwipster Last day for Unwritten Vol1-3 for >40% off: bit.ly/puQhZ2 #
- To whoever keeps ordering corporate office supplies through my referral links: I'll name my next EP after you, because you are paying for it #
- @amanda_nan Just realized we're both old enough to rent/drive one. Usually get booked closer to TN, but expensive to drive far – hard call. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @amanda_nan The ones that are already parked onsite are $2,992 eek! But, you can bring in an RV & a car for $180 on top of yr tix cost. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @amanda_nan The bands have been sorta inconsistent the past few years but if I could have my own RV to retreat-to / party-in I'd do it again in reply to amanda_nan #
- @amanda_nan Yeah, people snap them up immediately, everyone knows when Bonnaroo will be. The onsite rental isn't a bad deal for four people. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @allieharch Thank you. At least Wall Street has a symbolic meaning that the occupation is attached to. City Hall? It's simply annoying. in reply to allieharch #
- #occupyphilly seeks to annoy walkers, marriage-license applicants, & city employees with messageless vanity occupation: http://t.co/GbkpEmEG #
- @mikeyzito @allieharch @mikeyil I appreciate wanting change, but protesting in City Hall is woefully misguided, practically & symbolically. in reply to mikeyzito #
- @mikeyzito @allieharch Lacking a properly "Wall Street" location to protest they should consider implementing a day of volunteerism instead. in reply to mikeyzito #
- If I can engage the snooze function on my new Droid by rubbing my nose up against the phone while it sits on my pillow, then it is TOO EASY. #
- I know this is subjective, but right now I don't think there is anything in the world better than a cancelled lunch meeting on a Thursday. #
- I heard "Sexyback" for the first time outside of karaoke this morning. I thought it would be…you know…good? It's a special kind of terrible. #
- @freakapotimus I used to have that issue w/acappella…I'd hear all this new rock sung by AMAZING voices, then later hear the crap real track in reply to freakapotimus #
- @alexcmurphy It sounds like a humor track. Everything from the synths to the vocals give the impression of a Weird Al parody. in reply to alexcmurphy #
- @alexcmurphy You totally hit it. Turned me off to the rest of the LP, but if half of it is better… in reply to alexcmurphy #
