Boxer Rebellion

So dk and I went to see Going the Distance last night.  Weird given that we were probably the only two guys in there who weren't on a date, and that we were two guys sitting together in that movie ... but after going through a lot of talks and fights with ew about what to do next, it was pretty reaffirming for me and put me in better spirits.  Not sure why, but it really brought home that all the uncertainty going on in our lives right now is worth it, because we have each other.  And yes, nothing about this is easy; in relationships, people can't be selfish and stubborn, nor do they want to be if they truly care for another.  Maybe it was just seeing it in someone else's (fictional) life that really cleared my head.

But in the movie, a pretty good band is featured, and since it looks like that movie made only $6.8MM this past weekend, I figured I'd try to give it some more publicity (to my nonexistent readers).  They kind of remind me of a mellower Augustana, with some Sigur Ros elements mixed in (though not really).  It's pretty mellow, and apparently they don't sell their CDs at any retail stores (at least that I could find in San Diego), so they're pretty much an internet sensation, or nonsensation as it is.  But check them out:
