from the ny times’s “‘debbie downer’ is enjoying an upswing” about performer rachel dratch:

“You’re going to see more magic if you’re open to the magic,” Dratch said. “So why not be open to the magic?”

also loved this bit:

After she left “S.N.L.” in 2006, her career seemed to be slowing down, and she started to panic about her future.

“And then I sort of decided not to,” Dratch said. Four years later, she gave birth to Eli. Because she wasn’t working as much, she was able to spend quality time with her son while he was young. “It was a good lesson for me,” she said. “You just don’t know what’s coming.”

Instead of agonizing over her career, which, she said, “just leads to unhappiness,” Dratch enjoys going out for margaritas and laughing with friends.

HELL YEAH (virgin mojitos acceptable sub)
