Since 4/10:

Agreed with Will Noon that he missed The Young Veins - this is the first comment he's made since Decmeber on the subject - and then made plans to go to Coachella with Alex Greenwald and Stuart Zender (bassist for Jamiroquai (!) , also playing for Mark Ronson); first "someone" lost his car keys, then he apparently misplaced Alex and Stuart individually an collectively while at Coachella, made a joke about being in a casino, and went off in search of food; was excited about the LA Kings winning games, shared a picture of himself at a game with a commemorative towel;

was (kind of hilariously) irritated by people telling 4/20 jokes; made a puzzling comment about "ghost trash" that Google suggests might related to an suite of icons; noted that he loved movies; appreciated Alex Greenwald's creepy Easter artwork; modified some common sayings in ways that suggest he might have been having a rough day ("if life hands you lemons, eat them" and "it really is a frog eat frog world"); was grumpy about the Kings losing; RT'd Alex Greenwald saying he looked like Encino Man (movie in which Brendan Fraser was a caveman transported to modern times and had a scraggly beard and disasterous hair the whole time, c. 1992 or so);

asked why he was still wearing a hair shirt, normally a sign of penitence; noted the cops had been calling the police all night; gloated at a friend of his when his substitute hockey team had a triumphant run of several wins; shared the video with the "talking" dog (YouTube); was mildly snarky with Greta about her mother's conservative (and very good!) advice, then softened it by saying he loved the '50s; allowed he couldn't think of anything worse to do than watching Lady GaGa on tv;

mangled the Infinite Monkey Theorem; quoted and agreed with someone as saying "if your brain's in the way you can't ride bulls"; and finally shared another video, this time of a small child rapping about God.

As of this writing he's been quiet for about a week.

Asked who has a pool; quoted a line about cats from The Office; shared a picture of his cats; started and kept up a steady support for Empires' bid to get on the cover of Rolling Stone; did his first solo show and an interview on JBTVonline.com, which STILL hasn't surfaced on the internet, though fan reports were made; encouraged us (well, those of us aged 18-35) to sign a petition to make our voices heard about legalizing pot and gay marriage; was pleased with his JBTV show;

noted that he loved recording during storms, though he was afraid he would miss a tornado siren if he wore his headphones; posted a picture of Marley with a ball; annonced he was recording with Empires; shared a picture of himself playing drums; shared an MLK JR quote in response to the death of Osama Bin Laden; referenced No Surprises by Radiohead;

drove through a suburb of Chicago and commented on the local election signs; shared a picture of all of his animals looking out a window; promoted his upcoming show with Empires in Chicago; and finally, asked us to vote for his friends The Handsome Bandit to be on a movie soundtrack.
