we're putting together a petition to remove words we dislike from the english language. candidates so far include "indubidable," "whoopass," and "participate." send nominations to ewenice@mutagenesis.org.

we're just crabby because we didn't get tix to bjork.

and because we're not kathleen hannah, the coolest girl at the party. hold your breath for badweatherfriend's review of last night's le tigre show. but only if you are a professionally trained stunt person. it'll be next week sometime.

meanwhile, consult the events calendar triple-d's been slaving over for all your weekend plans. it's equal parts can't-miss attractions and can't-stand-the-idea-of-attending activities. you decide which is which. we can't really.
