Since Jan. 16:

Brendon Shared a Gawker.tv link to the video of the tripping housewife; rt'd his ladyfriend's tweet of a picture of their dog; officially announced the release of their new record on March 29; thanked Argentina for an amazing show and an overall good time; various promotional tweets, i.e. bananas music club, the clip of the video for the Ballad of Mona Lisa, and shout-outs to various radio shows; shared a Hulu link to The Seminar episode of The Office; rt'd Butch Walker's twitpic of The Ballad of Mona Lisa playing on his car stereo; linked to the video of Today show hosts trying to explain the internet in 1994; was amazed by wifi on planes and planes in general;

was a little bit snarky to a fan who missed the Argentina show; declared that words couldn't convey how he felt about the New York show because it was too sacred; told JMont that he would take "baroquetronica" as a descriptor of their sound; traded lines of Frank Sinatra's They Can't Take That Away From Me with his ladyfriend; had a mango tango smoothie to balance out jaeger shots bought for them by a fan (or maybe bar employee? not sure); and finally rt'd a link to a fan cover of The Ballad of Mona Lisa on YouTube.

Also, he's changed his background to the album art for Mona Lisa.

Spencer HE'S ALIVE! Since he sparked back up, he's made various promotional tweets - radio stations and the pre-order - and also thanked people for coming out to shows in New York and Philadelpia; noted he was feeling pretty good, post-Jaeger shots in Virginia; shared a picture of Brendon looking unimpressed in the snow in what appeared to be a graveyard with above-ground masoleums; and finally quoted someone as saying the mac and cheese they were eating should be rated NC-17.

Since Jan. 16:

Ryan Was excited to attend a Lakers' game in Adam Levine's place; was shopping in the Vegas/West Coast equivalent of KMart (Mervyn's) on a Friday night; may have had a charleyhorse (muscle spasm); the phrase "Space Ham" appeared, which could be a) a play on Space Jam or b) a reference to an episode of Timon and Pumbaa (Disney cartoon) which was actually entitled Space Ham, or, and this is a stretch, c) be about Ham the Chimp astronaut from 1951; noted that nothing rhymes with vampire except maybe hampire, then later rejected all of Samantha Ronson's suggestions, including hampshire, liar and fire; wished Dan Keyes a happy birthday and shared a hilarious picture of Dan Keyes pouting while wearing bunny ears; "crack into the world, get your birth on!" - I got nothing. Unless it was someone else's birthday?;

quoted someone saying "Eat? I'll eat when I'm dead. Wait that's not how that goes" which I'm taking as a variation on "I'll sleep when I'm dead" and a reference to songs of the same title by either The Cure, Warren Zevon or Bon Jovi; participated in the awful cereal Twitter meme with "rosted mini meats. Honey bunches of toads? (with almonds)"; expressed his appreciation for The Cheesecake Factory and noted that they had tweeted him once; commiserated with Greta regarding their mutual despair at the survival of pop-punk (brb LOLING FOREVER); appreciated a piece of fan-made TYV merch; appreciated the score to You Only Live Twice, by John Barry, and finally, made the following comment on the appearance of nudes/wank tape stills purporting to be of him: "I couldn't afford to wear suits before I had tattoos. come on, you guys are better than that".

Jon Was silent for a while, then made a meta-tweet about thinking about tweeting and not getting around to it (cue me rolling my eyes); announced he was getting of this "big island"; quoted the "players only love you when they're playing" line from Dreams by Fleetwood Mac (there's a hip-hop song by Crazy Town with that title, but I'm assuming Fleetwood Mac until proven otherwise); went quiet again for a while, then sparked up to RT a fan comment about cats and beards reminding her of him, and also to share pictures from a sunny tropical locations of a sunset on the beach, a sunset on the water, and a stretch of coast that he has declared his "spot."
