This is totally not a piece about Chris Evans. It's an I'm-a-lucky-bitch-amirite? piece. Is that typical of GQ?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's the kind of piece I usually haaaate, where it's supposed to be about the subject but ends up being mostly about the writer, but I really like Edith! So I'm conflicted.

Well, Chris touched her knee and kissed her knuckles, so I think it's fair to hate her. But I read four pages, and I know blessedly little more about his high hotness, and that's disappointing.

Because books.
I think pieces like that work if it's a regular feature, where readers are really interested in reading "the adventures of Edith". But as a single piece, it's so much more about her than him, it's really off-putting. And bad journalism, according to the old rules.

Until Anthony Weiner finds something permanent, he could try being a lesbian blogger.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw that article the other day, and thought it was skin-crawlingly awful even for celebrity "journalism." I have no idea if it's typical for GQ, but this suggests it's not unique: [link]
There's no way I'd read a competent interview with Chris Evans, because I don't care. But I looked at that because people were discussing it. So GQ got more attention by publishing something terrible, and I am part of the problem. Damn me.

Well, it's not at all journalism, is one thing.

Kathy - that was the problem with the HMO choices that the state picked: people outside of the Chicago area were not served by those choices.
