  1. In defiance of my own published principles, I am using an iPad to spy on my daughter as she sleeps. #totalhypocrite
  2. The word "bones" is overused in book titles.
  3. @ecmyers Yeah. 4 is not really the golden age of dance.
  4. Saw the best dance performance ever last night. Twas like being INSIDE MJ's thriller video. But with even better music.
  5. Take away quote: "The reason I don’t have a plan is because if I have a plan I’m limited to today’s options." nyr.kr/mQLlMQ
  6. Great New Yorker profile of Sheryl Sandberg, the woman who helped make Google and Facebook profitable. nyr.kr/l67s25 1/2
  7. Someone recommend a great book or I'm going to spend the next week reading about Argentina's dirty war. You don't want that, do you?
  8. Laura Miller on "tricking" readers across racial and other boundaries, plus possible benefits "whitewashed" covers bit.ly/KQIExO
  9. Help fund brilliant choreographer Ana Buonomo's new multimedia piece. And Londoners, don't miss it! bit.ly/IkRJdX
  10. @soongd Interesting.
  11. Couldn't help but get nostalgic over this article on why Mass is the best state. Hint: social investment pays off. slate.me/JWeoj3
  12. On Obama's "evolution" on gay marriage. bit.ly/JinmZ5
  13. According to NY Times children's authors are usually considered "sensitive mewling types" nyti.ms/ISRLiT Really? Mewling?
  14. @ecmyers Um, yes please!
  15. Did I mention that this spring/summer is officially the season of margaritas? Yeah, it is. Write it down. Live it.
  16. @ClaireRothstein Don't worry. When it comes time to swear allegiance to the queen, I'll probably say something offensive and get thrown out.
  17. Take that, England. I passed my Life in the UK test. Now try and kick me out.
  18. Just got the best review ever from a 6th grader. I love the internet. bit.ly/JPPsdC
