Here’s the Debbie Downer skit from “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend. (Update: the Debbie Downer skit can be found here and here.) I can’t remember the last time I saw so many cast members lose it at one time. What a meltdown.

(via College Humor, a site I came across only because my Tina Fey photo is currently getting about 500 or 600 hits an hour from it)

I’ve added Word Spy to my Bloglines feed. Word Spy is a cute little site “devoted to lexpionage, the sleuthing of new words and phrases… new terms that have appeared multiple times in newspapers, magazines, books, Web sites, and other recorded sources.” Now that it’s on my daily feed, I can just click on the link and see a new word every day. Good stuff.

I haven’t written about it in a long time, but gay marriage becomes legal in Massachusetts in just 12 days. (The date kind of snuck up on us, eh?) While tooling around on the Boston Globe’s same-sex-marriage site, I came across a couple of blogs sponsored by the paper: one for gay marriage and one against it. There’s also a gay-marriage blog that covers the topic generally, not just in Massachusetts.

I guess on May 17 we’ll see if Armageddon comes. I have a feeling it won’t.
