Breaking news this weekend from the New York Times: teens have sexual relations outside the confines of committed relationships! Also, the earth revolves around the sun.

Speaking of crazy kids these days, I have acquired a new addiction, perhaps more detrimental than smoking, drinking, and burritos the size of my head. Yes, folks, I am a Degrassi fan. For the uninitiated, it's a Canadian kids' series, kind of like Saved By the Bell but more risque and without all the neon colors. I started watching the N Channel because it's been showing wonderful My So-Called Life episodes, and, well, one thing led to another and before you know it I'm glued to the Degrassi Every Episode Ever Marathon, and now I feel compelled to stay home this Friday to catch the premier episode of the new season. If the previews are any indication, there is going to be some DRAMA.
