Pillows

This man is hugging a pillow:



He's in a relationship with that pillow. A long-term relationship. They will be together for the long haul*. That man and that pillow are together.

He is merely using this pillow for a short time. After this photo is taking, he will be dropping this pillow back onto a couch or something. He will see it around—like when he sits on the couch—but he will not treat it quite the same. It is unlikely, for example, that he will be photographed holding that pillow again. Not like this, anyway.

The first person knows how to commit to a relationship. The second is still afraid of long term commitment. The first image is a marriage. The second image is a one-night stand.

My dear friend Brittain is very close to having enough money to make her next record. If you have a little money, you should send it to her.

Here are some photos I took last time I saw Brittain perform her wonderful music.

This person can make you a beard. I would like a small one for my two-year-old niece.

"They will be together for the long hall."

I like this. A long hall is when, at night, this man is alone and it is dark and he has to pee, so he takes the pillow with.
