Let us now praise gay monogamous partnerships

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 22:47:08 GMT

In recognition of three months of monogamy—Ben suggests I call it polyfidelity—here is a link to a recent committed-relationship–themed interview someone did with Mark Allen, a talented Internet person across whose site markallencam.com (NSFW) I stumbled in college and which I visit from time to time. His man is Jim Krewson, of Jim and Jennie and the Pinetops and a multimedia artist. I remember visiting Mark's site around the time he and Jim met. I think they are super cute together and relish the opportunity for insight into their eight-year-and-counting love affair.

Scott: they wanted me to put a fan on an endcap the other day so I cut myself 12 feet of extension cord wire, grabbed a plug end, a shallow electrical box, and a packet of self-drilling screws and was done in about a half hour
Ben: you're so incredibly sexy I can't even stand it

This is the hotel where Ben and I met. Photo credit Doug Frankwich. I enjoyed being a flight attendant.

Even more magnificent than Budapest's Corinthia Hotel is that Prurient's mom's blog for her radio show has video now.

"There is a dying plebeian ambivalence to the ghastly creaks and tragedies of New York City. Only here can one man come up against another, individually in a void, and speak collectively to the disintegration of his being. A city where the deluge of beauty is mystified by the constant groan of economy undermining a perpetually dissolving modernity. As it looms, it showers upon us the debris of its newest and most ragged disharmonies to stimulate our malignant activities and applaud the constant awakening of our intangible reality. These luminous sights, sounds, and sensations of this mythological frontier are but mere scuffles and flurries under the crumbling stone and iron exposed to the decay and the terror of the overwhelming shadows that engulf us."
