Twitter Week 2010-07-27

  • Never invite the chiggers to a party. #
  • Did anyone else out there enjoy Cloverfield as much as I did? #
  • Speaking of Cloverfield: never bring Doberman-sized spider-lookin monsters to a party in NYC. Even if you're indestructible and 300 ft tall. #
  • Robert Siegel just asked "does this mean more marmots or bigger marmots?" #
  • Front page headline this morning: "Candidates turn up heat as they grill each other." Ouch. #literally? #
  • I have a few old They Might Be Giants songs on my run playlist. Love em. I think I just need some accordion to fire my blood. #
  • Movie Salt is really enjoyable until after when you start to think about it, but haven't simply enjoyed a show like this in too long. #
  • "Where's the keyboards, & the tambourine, & the guitar, & you know, I mean – the stuff that like, white people like?" -Carl (from ATHF) #
  • Rompers are so popular right now. How long until the man-romper arrives? #fashionformmen #
  • Inception=Oceans11+a deep rabbithole where everyone's batshit for guns instead of tea. Oh and w/ GIJoe-type action. But also really good! #
  • Today purchased secondhand The Score by the Fugees and Metalica's black album. I'm now as cool as I wanted to be 10-13 years ago. #hopeless #
  • "Exit light, enter night, take my hand off to never never land." I love lyrics in the imperative. Impossible… to resist… Rocking out… #
  • Anticipation for the English soccer season, with Arsenal playing Liverpool Aug15. Doing preseason reading & thinking it's Arsenal's year.(!) #
  • What's the name of that movie with the gremlins in it? #
  • Metalica's Black album came out when I was 13. Finally bought it. You know what that means? #
  • It means I was Unsuccessfully Cool from age 13 until I stopped trying (whenever it was). Since then I've settled for Successfully Uncool. #
  • "…fashion–the triumph of the absurd remade into something highly desired but barely wearable at a price that is unaffordableRead more…" #
  • That last quote by Susan Orlean in a New Yorker article about jeggings http://bit.ly/9eSu1o (via @RaquelLaneri) #
  • I wonder if there's a story behind the idiom "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." #
  • Susan Orlean has changed the way I think about hashtags in text messages. #lookitup #
  • I forgot about this: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. #
  • Word. #lookitup #
  • Do computer/phone interfaces enrich our visual vocabulary, do they expand visual vocab, or do they regiment it all into fullblown language? #
  • Or, on the other side, do image-based interfaces limit visual expressives by establishing a grammar/syntax for pictoral experience? #
  • Do extraterrestrial shapeshifting reptillian overlords lay eggs? Are they good in huevos rancheros, or more suitable for quiche? #
