I wanted to blog about it today but decided I had already done it well enough in my dissertation and didn't want to put in a ton of work to replicate what I had already come up with. Tell me what you think!]]></description>

Hey girl, speaking of Ryan Gosling, did you know that I wrote movie reviews from time to time too? Here is one I wrote about the film <em>Lars and the Real Girl</em> (starring Ryan Gosling) in which I praised it for the moving way it depicted a humanist ideal for caring for those with mental illness: <a href="http://www.patheos.com/blogs/camelswithhammers/2008/05/therapeutic-projection-or-how-lars-and-the-real-girl-made-me-cry/" target="_blank">“Therapeutic Projection” or “How Lars and the Real Girl Made Me Cry”</a>. I cried because I'm sensitive like that.
