Twitter is affecting my blog!

This has been an amazingly busy Spring, and Summer looks even busier. As a result, I have been working late nights and watching lots of “Laptop Television.”

Oddly enough, and perhaps it’s the endless deadlines that are my life, I find myself doing most of my commentary on Twitter instead of my blog. So, here’s a quick snapshot of what I’m watching these days and some of my favorite Twitter comments:

So You Think You Can Dance

@StacyLibby I hate, hate, hate lip-syncing. Instant fast-forward. #sytycd

@glennia @StacyLibby: I like Kayla, too. She looks 10 feet tall when she dances. #sytycd

@glennia I think Paula Abdul must have shared her stash with Lil C, because he is no longer coherent. #sytycd

@CityMama love Kupono’s slight pidgin-hawaiian accent . Makes me feel at home. #sytycd

Top Chef Masters

@StacyLibby The writers of LOST talk about Top Chef in their Thurs. a.m. mtgs. “There’s been a big dip in quality of LOST since Top Chef!”

@StacyLibby Top Chef Masters + LOST = Laptop TV Mom is in Heaven!

@americanadian Why does the host of Top Chef look anorexic? Sorry but I don’t trust your judgment on food. Ice chips, maybe.

Daily Show with Jon Stewart

@aaronburcell Will miss Gitmo Elmo after gitmo closes. RT @StacyLibby: Watching the “Gitmo” version of Elmo on The Daily Show. So wrong (and so funny).

@StacyLibby Katie Couric on Jon Stewart… awesome!

@StacyLibby Samantha Bee is freaking hilarious.

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien

@StacyLibby Conan predicts “YouTube, Twitter and Facebook will merge to form one super time-wasting web site called ‘YouTwitFace‘” #conanobrien

The Next Food Network Star

@StacyLiby Watching “Next Food Network Star” My cooking style is “Calif. meets Midwest” Sushi one day, casseroles the next. All meals w/ wine & friends!

Conan O’Brien, Brad Pitt and a Bitchin’ Ford Taurus

I was up late last night working and saw a clip on Late Night with Conan O’Brien that made me laugh out loud.  The bit featured Conan and his 1992 green Ford Taurus.  Apparently it’s really his car, and he appears proud to own the vehicle! Here’s why I found this so funny:

In high school, I drove my mom’s hand-me-down station wagon (complete with AM radio and vinal seats), and in college I drove a Dodge Aries K-car (that started when it felt like it.) Neither car was glam and neither were going to help attract the guys. Oh well, I really didn’t care.  The cars got me to school and to work (and regardless I managed to land quite a man!) If you have a tale or two about a clunker you were proud to drive, check out this clip.

After all, if a 1992 green Ford Taurus is good enough for Brad Pitt, maybe I should give it a spin?
