There's only one reason I go on Twitter.
"Off to Wash. For the 'ennedy Center honors. Sitting on train behind Sting. Nice man"
Barbara Walters.
Since I joined Twitter, updating it has been a chore. I don't have a fancy phone. As my friend Phil says, if you can't update from your phone, Twitter is pretty much pointless.
Still, I log on and update.
Why?
In the hopes that I'll get an update from Babs.
"Just did Adam Lambert. Newsy"
Who knew that of everyone in the Twitterverse, Barbara Walters would have the best one?
"Saturday. Bought a hat going to theatre to see Hamlet."
I'm not entirely sure she even knows where her updates go. I think she thinks she's just popping little sentences into a computer and then they're flying off to some magical land.
And yet, there's so much subtext in her twitting.
"Got a Lifetime. Achievement Award from the News Emmys last night. Really nice. Katie Couric introed me. Also really nice."
Can't you just hear the disdain? It might as well have been--"Got an award from that whippersnapper Katie Couric, and I'm mad because I missed NCIS."
Some of it is just plain poetry.
"Summer over. Happy but too many friends died. Looking forward to working on The View starting Tues and ABC News"
Other times you can tell senility is settling in.
"One day a pigeon flies in my home Now my fire alarm won't stop ringing Woe is me Otherwise all is well."
And every once in awhile she reminds you she's still the Top Bitch.
"Had lunch with group of girlfriends including Nora Ephron,Liz Smith and Cynthia Mc Fadden. Would be lost without girl friends but men ok too"
She used to get mad at SNL parodies, and now she's BECOME the SNL parody.
"About to do The View which is like dessert for me. Then lunch with my old friend Vernon Jordan. Nice pleasant day"
So many of her days are pleasant, and that's why I love Miss Walters.
She reminds me that even when you have to edit your Sarah Palin interview and stop by Joan Didion's birthday party, there's still time to stop and enjoy the View.
