Of course the Elle magazine profile of Michelle Williams is all heavy-duty with Heath Ledger references and inferences now, but if you get past that you get a fascinating, beautifully-written profile of a woman who sounds awfully interesting to me, and frankly familiar in many ways (the beauty, the celebrity, not so much). A few [...]
I love this passage from an article about raising boys in Wondertime by Jacquelyn Mitchard (I also love Wondertime, and recommend it heartily): My friends and I came up with an essential test regarding the difference between boys and girls: it’s called the Wet Paint Paradigm.
