The sky in L.A. this morning looked like it had been painted with those sweeping brushstrokes usually reserved for works of art and not the undeserving sky that appears over Los Angeles. I was repeatedly distracted by the cloud formations as I drove to work on my normally dreary and traffic-filled route. I should have my digital camera permanently attached to my hand so that when I catch such fleeting glimpses of beauty, I can share them with you.
Last night I went out to dinner with my friend Eric, who is moving to Austin, Texas on Monday. Since I am violently allergic to driving whilst drunk I had a totally hardcore club soda with a lime twist along with my almost completely flavorless turkey burger. After dinner I went to the cafe to locate my lovely girlfriend, and we spent some quality time in front of the Megatouch playing Photo Hunt before I went home to collapse from exhaustion. I had endless dreams about people upon whom I have had crushes, both the fleeting physical "you make me tingly in my pants" kind and the far more interesting "you are such a fascinating person, your brain gets me hot" kind. I totally fall for people's brains. I can't say that I never fall for looks, as evidenced by my celebrity fuck-list, which is full of pretty people who have never proved that they have any kind of intellectual substance (with notable exceptions, of course). But I get crushes on people without ever seeing them, because I read their book or see their photography or hear their lyrics or read their 'blog. I fall for talent and intelligence. I've dated people in the past where there was little physical attraction but the intellectual attraction got me going every time. Sometimes it's not even the person that I have a crush on, but a product of their intelligence. I fall in love with books, paintings, photographs, songs, films, ideas. It sounds kind of ridiculous to say that I can fall in love with an object, but that's the only way I know how to describe it.
