Early Buzz: Patton Oswalt, 'SNL' and more headlines

I'm starting to think 2014 might not be my year.

Right now I'm typing this in a hotel room, which my family was forced to check into last night after the heat malfunctioned in our building. I hope I can head back soon, although first I have to somehow make myself presentable for early-morning dental appointment. (And did I mention my husband fell and broke his foot a few days ago? Stellar year so far!)

A few headlines while I get organized:
