140 or Bust [16 Dec 2009|10:01pm] glendaplatypus 22:57 Dropped off two different kinds of soup at my aunt's. She's sick. The only cure for sick people in my family are arroz caldo and sopas. # 08:25 The Gallagher brothers are a constant source of amusement. Oasis 2.0! What a riot!!! RT @coslive: Meet Oasis 2.0 bit.ly/6HdWco # 14:14 @SaraCarey1 The Brothers Bloom! Starring Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel Weisz. bit.ly/28zTQR # 18:42 SyFy's "Alice" was a bit of a disappointment. Actors came across as cold and script was rather holey. # 18:57 Watching Avatar tonight at Polo! Come join. We're buying tickets in advance, if you want them, let me know. # 19:13 @JeffAWard I know what you mean. It's a bit boring when no one you know it on it. You should get a bunch of invites in a few weeks though. # 19:14 Speaking of invites, I still have a bunch of Google Wave invites to give away. DM me your email address. #googlewave # 19:22 Let's make this a bit more interesting. For a Google Wave invite, send me your email address and a link to your favorite poem. #googlewave # 19:33 @A_Gallivant Will do. :) # 20:32 Poop! The tickets on Silver City are erroneously advertised. The midnight screening is not tonight, but tomorrow night. :/ # 20:57 @A_Gallivant Yes, supposedly. # 21:25 In the continuing saga of Glenda's Wonderful Day of Unproductivity, I will watch 'Rushmore' and 'Frida' and drink Slurpees. In PJs. # 21:29 'Unproductivity' is not a word, is it? Whatevs. That just adds to the unproductiveness of things. That's not a word either, btw. # 21:32 @c0llide Everything about it was bad except the CGI w/c was decent for a mini-series. Mostly upset she picked the dumpy curmudgeonly guy. :/ # 21:38 I'd like to proudly point out the inclusion of Slurpees in my wintry Day of Unproductivity. How "Winnipeg" am I? #pegcitynewb # 21:40 @aggiesems It gladifies me to hear that. # 21:48 Cussbuckets! Just found out that changing my user name means all the pics in the Twitpic account attached to my old one has been deleted. # 21:54 K. Apparently, it's all still there, just can't log on to the account anymore. Phew. For posterity: twitpic.com/photos/glendaplatypus # post comment

140 or Bust [15 Dec 2009|10:00pm] glendaplatypus 00:07 Just got home from the Class 2 Xmas Party. For lack of a better adjective, it was great. I love you all so much. :) # 00:23 @asmitzniuk Tell me it came out of your nose. # 00:28 Just changed my Twitter username from @glendaplatypus to @glendaollero. Easier to remember, and no weird story behind the name. Haha! # 00:58 @tweetypatty It's one of those long, you-had-to-be-there-to-appreciate-it kinda scenarios, unfortunately. Almost best to leave it a mystery! # 01:00 @JasmineAmellie So much love. I'm gonna miss living/breathing you guys so much, but also looking forward to mixing with more people. :) # 11:42 Attending @neilhimself 's reading tonight at McNally. Met him once before when I helped organize his first visit to Manila. Should be good. # 12:15 @ohbrietta Just on my way to pick it up now. See you there! # 13:28 @ohbrietta It's a pretty good read. I always like his more "grown up" novels though. # 15:17 That's awesome, my friend @JWilliamez is going to flip. RT @paul_irish www.younicornme.com Best iPhone app ever?

140 or Bust [14 Dec 2009|10:03pm] glendaplatypus 01:21 Just watched "The Brothers Bloom." Liked it. Decent story line, ended about three times, but lovely and slightly outre. Good for a Sunday. # 01:27 @nixiecon The thing I liked the most about God Of War is the grunting in background music. # 01:48 At the List-Five blog, @alisaamiller, CEO of Public Radio International, says: Check out globalmatterspost.com bit.ly/5OvWnf # 11:51 I'm a dorkus malorkus. That is all. # 11:54 @glendasfriend Kai, you big nerd. Sorry couldn't talk last night. Had a date with Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody. # 11:57 30 Rock's Jenna Maroney? RT @OHnewsroom: Anchor: “Whenever I feel down, I just go to the store and ‘get recognized.’” # 12:51 @adamdooley Two detachable fox tails up! I loved it but I'm not sure it's really a kid's movie. Do you like Wes Anderson's other movies? # 15:31 At Edward Carriere for a haircut. Gonna ask my girl's opinion on that short cut I've been mooning over for months. twitpic.com/tj5x8 # 15:33 @JasmineAmellie Britney! It was a pain being new to the city. I tried about 5 different hair dressers in this city before I found her. :) # 16:23 @JasmineAmellie No go on the short hair! But it's back to the length I had it in when I started CreComm. So fairly shorter. # 16:53 @kentonlarsen Yes! We went yesterday. I won an art kit. Ideal for storyboarding next semester. @RachelHesketh won a bag of sunflower seeds! # post comment

Everytime I hear Geto Boys by Glass Candy, I salivate. # 13:22 @aggiesems Kum Koon Garden at King Street. Best dimsum in Western Canada. # 13:52 @aggiesems My favorite days to go are weekends lunch. Their weekday lunch is not bad, but you get a wider array of dishes in the weekend. # post comment

140 or Bust [11 Dec 2009|10:01pm] glendaplatypus 10:29 Good sleep. Getting fact sheets in last night was worth it.

140 or Bust [09 Dec 2009|10:02pm] glendaplatypus 00:26 The thing I love about Wes Anderson movies is that you can watch them over & over again & still find something new to laugh about each time. # 00:31 I wonder what a Wes Anderson action film would be like. Could Jason Schwartzman pull off a gun-slinging leading man role? Or Bill Murray? # 00:35 How about Clooney be the leading man, Murray be something of a James Bond "Q" character & Schwartzman be the shrimpy evil genius. # 00:45 This is beginning to sound like an Austin Powers sequel. Murray could just play Garfield. He could be the Bubastis to Clooney's Ozymandias. # 00:46 Or the Snarf to Clooney's Lion-O. # 00:48 I'm glad we had this conversation. # 07:59 T-minus 120 minutes until Radio test. Good morning, folks. Let's see if I can find an ugly sweater to wear. # 08:09 I'm sorry. I know it was expensive, but that just adds to the ridiculousness of it! RT @cio: @glendaplatypus My Diesel sweater is not ugly! # 08:23 Holy itchy. This is the itchiest sweater ever made in the history of all mankind. RT @cio: @glendaplatypus Itchy, yes, but not ugly! # 08:44 @JeffAWard And it's only 9am. What's going on, Jeffers? :/ # 09:11 @glendasfriend Never knew you were a Joss Whedon fan. # 12:36 I'm voting for @jerwook 's horrible ensemble to win for Ugly Sweater Day. #crecomm twitpic.com/sth2n # 16:43 @mikeyshhh I got the Foundation Concerts invite on FB about this! So excited! I don't think there's been a DFA band in the city before. :D # 18:18 Ok, Class 2. That was a good day today. Screenplay, tomorrow. Fact sheet, Friday. Then we're gold. :) #crecomm # 18:32 The BarBra group are going to be Cash-Cubing at Portage Place this Saturday at noon! Everyone's invited! :D bit.ly/5jwQgT # post comment

140 or Bust [08 Dec 2009|10:02pm] glendaplatypus 01:30 OK, Adam. If you say so. :) RT @asmitzniuk Being born in the '90s is NOT weird. # 01:32 @aggiesems Echofon Pro. The free version doesn't do multiple accounts, I don't think, but the paid version is awesome. # 01:45 @bluevioletgreen We've been making fun of the kids in class who were born in the '90s. It's silly just because the 90's kids are legal now. # 13:37 Hey guys! Send me a DM if you want a Google Wave invite. #googlewave # 13:39 I can't believe I managed to finish that PR exam on time! I've forgotten how to write with a pen and paper, my hand actually hurts. #crecomm # 13:41 Trying to cram all this info in my brain is making me queasy. After all these years my hard & fast rule of no eating b4 exams still applies. # 16:02 Bulk part of The #CreComm Week-of-Terror is done. Screenplay, brochure, fact sheet & radio test to go. Wait, what? Forget I said anything. # 17:34 Headed to the UPS Store to print my brochure. Stuck in traffic at Kenaston. Store closes in 25 mins. Ugh!!! # 18:05 Got my printing done! UPS Store at Kenaston is great! Matt, the printer guy, was super thorough and meticulous. I'm very impressed. :) # 18:30 That was quick! @TheUPSStore_PR just RTed my last tweet. Hope Matt from Kenaston, Winnipeg store gets props for a job well done. :) # 20:32 I'm an athlete. #fantasticmrfox # 20:57 Convinced a friend to join Twitter. Please welcome @glendasfriend to Twitterverse. Personally, I appreciate the subtlety of his name choice. # 21:04 @kentonlarsen Haha! I just choked on an orange wedge! I followed the first five tips. Wish I knew about that last one. Do you take toonies? # 21:17 @MissJenh @ShelleyACook Maybe we can move the @CreCommGrad11 money around a bit? I mean, it's ultimately for graduating purposes, yes? :P # 21:21 @Lockstep Hahaha! :) Thanks, Melanie. # 21:31 @kentonlarsen Oh no! Fatal spelling error on a tweet?! :/ # 21:43 Poppycock, @glendasfriend. You like it here. Admit it. The rush of 140 characters sliding out from under your fingers? It's exhilarating. # 21:48 @afauch I have to say, Angele. I was so impressed when I saw your crazy proofreading method of checking off each and every word. Stellar. :) # post comment
