Debbie Downer
This is the infamous SNL skit where the cast lost it. Rachel Dratch plays Debbie Downer, who says the most depressing things at the most inappropriate times.

9/3 Midcap
I’m off to Vegas in a few hours. It’s my first time there in over a year and two years since I dropped my Vegas project. I’m there with my family so that means I’ll either spend all of my time in the arcade with Michael, at the table with my dad as he glares at me because I flirt with everyone, or at the table with my mom, cockblocking her by telling the young guys who hit on her that she’s a lesbian. I kind of want to break the routine though. When I was working on the Vegas project, I was there a lot getting the feel for the casino floor and buddying up with dealers (sometimes a little too much so). I want to not gamble, and not be so aware of that shrill siren of desperation and mania in people’s energy that’s ubiquitous out there…just see the place from the eyes of a tourist who really thinks this is Disneyland for adults. By the way, I hate that term…Disneyland for adults. That’s what my coworker calls orgy-catering swingers clubs.
My coworker’s wife just had a baby this morning! A Virgo named Guy. We gave him a hard time about him choosing the name Guy. Like, why don’t you just give him the middle name Big Dick if you want to overstate his masculinity. I don’t think you should test God that way; he’s got a wicked sense of humor. I think choosing the name Guy for your first born son nearly insures that he’s gonna be born with a vagina. But I guess for this kid, all the parts were where they should be. Darn.
If It Isn’t Bad Enough When Someone Keeps Sticking Things In You…
I went to my acupuncturist last night sans Michael since he had a “playdate” with Jake… (they went to Subway). Even though Michael usually just sits there and giggles gleefully at me lying on the table in my underwear and getting stuck with pins, it’s comforting to know that he’s in the room.
The doctor and I were smalltalking in Chinese, which was somewhat difficult because she has a strong mainland accent and I have a 6th grade vocabulary. She asked me if I had a boyfriend, why not, etc. I said I date when I’m bored, but for real connections, I’m looking for someone in particular and I don’t know who, but I figure I’ll know when I find that person. But it has to be someone brilliant, gentle, open-minded and kind, and who can keep up with me.
She asked if I like Chinese guys and guys in their 30s, and started telling me about this one guy she knows. She was rattling off in Chinese and I got really lost from my lack of decent vocabulary. But I didn’t want to be rude because she was speaking so enthusiastically, so I just kept saying, “Uh huh…Uh huh…oh really…” But then she asked me, “What do you think?” I had no idea what she had been telling me or what she was asking me, so I said, “Wow.” And then the conversation ended.
I hope that I didn’t just give her the redlight to set me up or something. The last time I had an older Chinese woman talk to me about a guy while I smiled and nodded due to lack of comprehension, it was my cousin’s grandmother, and it turned out that she was pitching reasons why I should date my cousin. (We’re cousins by marriage. But STILL.)
