The thing about longing is the space of it. It takes up so much space, but uses so little. It's a fog of mirrors and magnifying lenses that fills every corner of your room and makes your door, your typewriter, your guitar, your telephone, all seem so far away. It's so wide that you feel lost, unable to even begin to find what you're longing for, so you wander slowly from wall to wall and watch for

I don't follow college football, but I remember when I lived in Columbia, the team sucked, so it's kind of nice to see them doing well this season.
