As I was telling [livejournal.com profile] queerbychoice, I found it hard to maintain my usual "marriage-schmarriage" attitude when I heard about Del & Phyllis, who apparently didn't particularly care whether they were married but were just doing it for the young people, who'd asked 'em. I mean, how can you not be just a little touched by this?:

del and phyllis


And now I'm hearing tales of the camping out at the courthouse and looking at pix at this site and, no, I still don't think relationship status ought to convey any benefits in taxes, insurance, inheritance, etc., but I am touched nonetheless. All those folx standing up for their love. Makes me wish I were in SF just to suck up some of the energy.

But maybe it's just my own heartsickness. Or maybe I'm just hormonal. Right?

I just caught myself and went back through an e-mail I was about to send to L., in Kuwait, who somehow hadn't gotten the word earlier about H.'s and my separation. I carefully removed all indications of gender in references to H. or to A., L.'s partner. Not that military e-mail is necessarily seen/read---of course as a routine practice that'd be ridiculous---but you never know what might be referred to later.

In other news, I'm tiring of tuna casserole. (There's still at least one serving to go.)

NPR did a piece on Nick Carbó yesterday. Its expanded coverage includes him reading a few of his poems; I especially like much of "Ang Tunay na Lalaki Sips a Frothy Cappuccino."

Check out Nick Carbó here

He does a John Wayne impression that's pretty funny, too, in the context of dominant culture products discussed in the piece.
