well clearly all of a sudden this site has fucked itself up. any clue as to why? anyone? i didn't change the code ... double bonus points for an answer. it doesn't necessarily even have to be a good one. you may have to email it to me at ESTER [at] SCCS [dot] SWARTHMORE [dot] EDU cuz [sigh] comments seem to be among the things affected by this fuck up. [sigh.]
