When I was in NYC, Rich and I were laughing at how each and every newscast that week was running its obligatory twitter story, as though they had finally located the zeitgeist, and were determined to rub it into our faces at ever turn.
Look who is twittering!
Why do the kids twitter?
This twitter got her fired!
What is the twitter?
As life and work gets busier, I have less and less time to put new stuff up on the pony, and I do apologize. But if you need a quick pony fix, you can always see my tweets, where i subject my followers to vapid insights chucked out of my brain with some regularity.
A sampling:
-Woman in SUV stopped beside my bike last night. "Can't believe that C*nt touched me! I will cut her!" Yay warm weather, open car windows! 2:44 PM Apr 17th
-Sue Thomas F.B.Eye is on tv. Which means I have very little time left to do my work today.1:02 PM Apr 16th
-cupcake for breakfast - about 3 hours ago
-it's always so surprising to find out a co-worker is church-going religious. It's like finding out they have an identical twin.2:58 PM Apr 16th
- Do you think Gwyn's frenemy = Winona Ryder? - 12:31 PM Apr 16th
- abstruse sounds like a fake word invented to make things sound more esoteric and obscure. hmmm.- 9:29 AM Apr 15th
As you can see, all you old school long-format storytellers are clearly missing out! I am not sure why I am compelled to tweet some days, and I can't tell you what I get out of it, only that it's the way of the FUTURE. And yeah, if it's on CNN, it's totally jumped the shark.
