number one in america
yesterday morning i joined dan and sujan at the multiplex theatre on court st. for the early show of MEAN GIRLS. it's funny. it ranks high among some of the other good teen films from the past ten years (bring it on, can't hardly wait).

i laughed when plastic #2 tried to integrate "fetch" into teenspeak and plastic #1 totally called her on it. i laughed during most of the movie. what happened to ana gasteyer's face though? she looked old.
