Check out the amazing list of repercussions from Janet’s faux pax: CNN.com - The Jackson stunt: What now? - Feb. 6, 2004
The thing is, people seem to be so focused on the breast itself. But it was the context that created the flap. (No pun intended. Really.) I mean, if the boob hadn’t prairie-dogged, was […]

[EDITED TO ADD: Now that I’ve upgraded to the new Moveable Type engine, I’m trying comments again. You may have to register to comment, but it’s worth a shot. 10/31/04]

I’ve been so blogless lately. Pitiful. Was a time when I’d pop every little thing up, and now it just doesn’t occur to me as often.

I’m really slammed right now at work. Crazy. And my computer is on the fritz, so I don’t have that mobile “quality time” I used to get to post to blogs and such. But in the meantime, let me say, I really want to work for these guys.
