Not gonna lie – over the past month or so, I’ve really fallen in love with Twitter. Sometimes it’s pretty stupid, like when someone tweeted/twatted that Gordon Lightfoot was dead (NOT FUNNY) or when Lady Gaga releases a new music video and it breaks the Internet. (I will now use this as a flimsy excuse to post my favorite Lady Gaga photo of all time.)
- go fug yourself
- whuhzh?
But I’m addicted to finding out when bands are releasing new albums, or breaking up, or getting back together, going on tour or committing crimes—-and these days, you hear it on Twitter first. As much as I am loath to jump on these techno-social-media-trends (wherefore art thou, Google Buzz?) Twitter is fast and for the most part, pretty fun.
So come over, join the party and check out my ramblings and re-tweets of other weirdos. It’s cool over there, I promise. And even if you find my tweets/twarts boring, Conan O’Brien is on it now!
