You know what I just love...people that don't signal when they are driving. They are my FAVORITE. EVER! Did you know that it has been statistically proven that they also have a lower IQ...? I mean, I'm jusy sayin...

Three cheers for the dumbass drivers of the world!
XOXO,
Your true friend,

10 minutes into the drive

Sonos is officially on tour. We're on our way to NoCal, then more NorCal, then North Carolina, thwn I have no idea.

If you haven't, check the myspace to see if we'll be in your neighborhood. If we are, come see us and say hi. We'll hang out with you and it will be awesome.

elliptical movie review #2

watched "The TV Set".
that one's pretty good. David DuExfiles is funny.
easy to appreciate if you've lived in LA surrounded by creatives-for-hire.

check it out!

88 minutes

watched it today while on the elliptical.
every minute of it, sucked.
don't waste your time.

on the road [again]

Ben and I were driving home from NorCal yesterday and it got me thinking. In a couple weeks, we're going to be doing this for the next couple months... next couple YEARS... with four other people... all across the country. The idea of touring was always this distant dream, this far away experience that I talked and fantasized about. But Sonos went ahead and did some good work backed by an amazing team and here we are, on the brink of a life-changing road ahead - literally. I'm not scared, but I'm anxious. You put six people in a room together, after a while there'll be some difference of opinion; tension rises and people need their personal space. Imagine that in an oversized van in the middle of Iowa. I hope I don't sound like I'm complaing, cuz I'm not. In fact, it excites me to write it down. We've been through our rough patches but the six of us have always found a way to get through it for the better; plus we all know how to party together. There will be parties on the road. Work, interviews, performances - yes, but also parties. Sonos hits the road in two weeks. To quote internet savvy teenagers across the world: OMG.

jonah the pup

so i'm sitting here at Rachel's place (Rachel Bearer, a.k.a. Bachel Rearer) looking at the neighbor's dog. no, puppy.
i can't believe he's real.

seriously. look.

i think instead of (or at least, in addition to) the pictures of us on our myspace page, there should be pictures of jonah.
