Spilling the Beans

Palin v. Kennedy-Schlossberg

javajennifer | December 18, 2008

My IT guy, the incredible Lao Lao is not going to be happy that I keep writing my blogs in MS word as it’s what messes up the fonts and creates extra work for him. So for that I say both “tough noogies” and “please fix it”. Back when I’d made bashing Sarah Palin a [...]

javajennifer | December 16, 2008

The thing I’ve learned about having a blog this last year and about the nature of my writing is that there is a great disparity between what I want to write about and what actually comes out when my fingers touch the keyboard. I started to write about a certain, much younger man I know [...]
