the first half of this will be puppy dog biz and the second half will be personal biz.

our show the other night was awesome, it got 70,000 views on stickam. that's pretty amazing, especially considering the jump from our first time playing the webcast, which got 30,000 views. i keep hearing that dana&stripes (mine and jessica's side project) seems really serious. that's cool.

ryan just did a crazy awesome remix for us, which he surprised us with at his show at pehr last night. check it out on our myspace. he is so freaking cool and so good. i just recorded a rappish type of song with him that my baby elijah wrote and it's pretty rad, hopefully everyone will be hearing it soon in da club and stuff. jeff also has another remix for us coming soon. and tyler from pizza! did a couple of cool ones too but he is flaking on sending us the files.

i've been thinking a lot about visuals today. elijah wants to do album art for us and it's going to be cool bc he is like my favourite artist. i showed him the mcqueen a/w 08 lookbook for inspiration. i really want it to be kind of wicked but with a rainbow-like lightness to it.

i was sitting in my room at my new industrial shabby chic desk, facing a bare green tea wall and i realized how cute it is in here and i want to keep it as minimalistic as possible without sacrificing personality. that's really been my taste lately, i don't like clutter or kitsch and i have never been interested in excessive accessorizing. also i've been kind of into tougher, darker things so i'm having a hard time finding a place for my fashion photos, framed floral print and other pretty flea market finds. i do like the energy in my room right now so why not keep it this way, at least for a while.

i was also thinking about what to do with other parts of the house, mainly the outside. i planted some begonias and also these fuzzy red flowers, hopefully they grow really big. but my main idea for my flower garden dream is to plant a flowerbed that takes up most of the front yard. it'll look kind of like this but prob with a diff color scheme:



i also want to get some (rollable? is that a word?) turf. you know, the kind that you can roll out and roll back up. for the parking lot bc we have so much space there, we can just roll it out on a nice night and stargaze. yes, that sounds really gay but everyone likes doing that kind of crap.
