Super Frat

Hello, bros! And welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is a favorite of mine. I am not a rabid Star Wars fan (although I am a fan), but I am an even bigger fan of Carrie Fisher. Let’s see what Princess Leia is tweeting.

October 5th: “Leaving for Australia to perform my show Wishful Drinking- wearing my fathers pinky ring lugging two packed suitcases-…”

You really ought to make your droids carry them.

October 5th: “Would appreciate any suggestions on BEST place to buy fire opals & soft nitegowns & the BEST way or place to celebrate Halloween down under?”

I don’t know about the first one, but you should probably stock up on Foster’s, shrimp and barbies.

October 5th: “… also I’ve been eating a lot of bacon since my fathers passing. It must be my unique way of grieving.”

Sorry to hear that. If you like bacon, here’s a bacon song that always cheers me up.

October 19th: “Had my first show in Sydney last night……AWESOME audience! They liked me! They really liked me! But more to the point, I LOVED them!”

Any shouts of, “Do Angela’s voice! Do Angela’s voice!”

October 19th: “My hope is that tonight’s assemblage is as good!”

Look at you doing all these shows. Yeah, performing is way better than writing sometimes.

October 19th: “I do my last show as a 53 year old tonight! Spending my last minutes of 53 as an Australian spectacle……”

You’re 53? Really? Holdin’ up nice.

October 19th: “up to very little or all good down under……. Yours very truly, Lubby Marfubble Soup McFuckler……”

I don’t know what that means, but it made me laugh.

October 21st: “Thank you guys so much for helping me turn 54. I couldn’t have done it alone. I don’t look a day over 53.”

C’mon, you look good. Besides, it must be refreshing to see guys look you in the eye once in a while.

October 28th: “I’m no good at this self promo shit- they want me to tell you- they have released the last remaining tickets to come see me at the Athenaeum”

I think if you curse alot, you’ll be fine. You’re one of those people that’s funny to watch curse. You seethe with actual anger, but you kinda look small and harmless. I think that’s why they cast you in the Blues Brothers movie.

October 28th: “The extra shows are tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at 8 pm- the last remaining tickets are priced at $60…”

The fucking tickets. Remember. Funny.

November 6th: “In Adelaide to perform Wishful Drinking- in the mean time I’m watching a show on Hitler’s bodyguard- bliss(ish)”

Hey, you’d probably like Hipster Hitler. It’s a really funny webcomic.

November 6th: “I promise this is the last time i do this… Please come see me in Wishful Drinking in Adelaide & Perth- I’d be so grateful- otherwise…”

Yeah, I used to feel bad about self promoting on my Twitter. Then I just decided to stop…feeling bad.

November 6th: “They’ll make me do even more publicity then the to much they already have & then we’ll all be as sick of me in Australia as I’m getting 2b”

Don’t worry, they’re Aussies. They’ll forget everything once they sober up.

November 10th: “What the fuck has Obama done so far? http://www.whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/”

Yeah, sadly the opposite website is just too depressing to build.

Okay, let’s rate Carrie’s tweets. A little self-promoting, but not too much and she had the right amount of humility about it. So for Insanity, I give her a 7, Mustness I give her an 8, but for Style, that’s an easy 10. That’s an overall score of 8.3. You gotta follow Carrie, how could you not?
