"The Way His Collar Falls," by Bryan Newman.

Leif and I are on the train to New York in Car 1399.

There's a guy with a quarter in his ear and I've seen Leif only once in the past two months.

His hair is sticking up a little in the front. He's losing it just a bit.

When I get home tonight I'll miss him in Hampshire.

I'll miss his glasses and the way he writes in purple pen, the way his collar falls to the left.

Have you seen his ankles lately?

I know he's next to me.

I feel his sweater here, but when I'm sleeping it's only green sheets and the hair down my legs.

I think I'll write you, Leif, when I'm near Tuesday, sometime before you go and I'm back on the train.

At the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica in Beverly Hills, they've put up a new projection billboard on the CoAmerica Building. On it was a slide show of different male models' busts. It was very, very Big Brotherish.

Yes, I got out of my car and screamed at the billboard for two minutes.

Hmmm. I wonder if, below, it looks like I'm having affairs with two different girls (ThatMegginGirl & Sunny 32273).

Just so you know, dear reader, they are one and the same.

This is just too perfect. Yes, I am Asian in real life.

Take the Which one of the TRADING SPACES cast are you? quiz!

In the quiz, I answered "I'd rather be making out with a carpenter" on one of the questions.

Turns out my Megan ended up being Amy Wynn.

*purrr*

We talked on the phone for a couple of hours tonight, and it was pure heaven.

But the very thought of possibly not being able to touch her like I did this past weekend is opening up a giant void inside of me.

I am not a big fan of wind. It ruins everything.

I like rain. Rain can be relaxing. But if it's raining when it's windy, all of a sudden your face is getting wet even though you have an umbrella and your clothes are taking on water, too.

I like the sun. But if it's sunny and windy, all that warmth the sun should be bringing your body is being carried off by gusts of air. Plus, your hair is getting messed up.

I don't like cold. But I would put up with snow if it meant that it wouldn't be windy.

Warm winds, though, rock me.

There are two things that I'd like to fix in my life.

1) Stop treating strangers like they're invisible to me.
2) Spend a little less time with my computer, and a little more time with my guitar.

I bought the awesomest pair of corduroy pants today, I'm never taking them off!

Except to get busy, of course.

DocPenfold: i had a DREAM about you last night!
ThatMegginGirl: you did?
DocPenfold: yeah, it was weird
DocPenfold: i went to a hotel for some reason
DocPenfold: i had a bunch of bags with me
DocPenfold: and one of the elevators was broken
DocPenfold: so i had to take this other one, except it was being held up by one chain
DocPenfold: so if you didn't stand right in the middle, the elevator-box thing would tip to whatever side you were standing on
DocPenfold: and it was outside....so i guess it was more like a box being raised by a crane or something. does that make sense?
ThatMegginGirl: yeah
DocPenfold: and i was going up to your apartment, because you lived in this hotel
DocPenfold: but to get out of the elevator i had to jump from the elevator in through your sliding-glass door
DocPenfold: and you were on the fifth or sixth floor!
DocPenfold: i barely made it!
ThatMegginGirl: phew!
DocPenfold: BUT
DocPenfold: i still had some bags left in the elevator!
ThatMegginGirl: what'd you do?
DocPenfold: i stood at the edge of the doorway and looked down....it was pretty far....and in the process accidently kicked someone's cell phone off and it fell all the way down
DocPenfold: i watched it fall and then it broke
DocPenfold: (they often do things like that in movies to give the audience some perspective of how high up they are)
DocPenfold: and i felt bad that i broke someone's cell phone.
DocPenfold: anyways
DocPenfold: i was supposed to jump back INTO the elevator box, but it was now about a floor lower....if i jumped, the elevator would be thrown off-balance and i would surely fall to my doom!
DocPenfold: so i was like, "NO WAY."
ThatMegginGirl: good
DocPenfold: but then a very acrobatic bellhop reached over from the balcony below me, got my bags, and went inside with them (he might even have been a monkey)
DocPenfold: with that cleared up, i went into your apartment and two roommates and you were there.
DocPenfold: you were cleaning up wearing a bath robe.
DocPenfold: it was one of your roommate's cell phone.
DocPenfold: and then you finished cleaning up and we laid down and cuddled.
DocPenfold: the end.
DocPenfold: ps i never saw my bags again.
