There’s a part of me that is truly sympathetic to the plight of the Falcon Lake widow that is the focal point of this CNN story, but I was equally annoyed by the story as well.  It may have been personal – I lost a dear friend to the senseless violence going on in Mexico less than a year ago.  Bobby Salcedo was young and lived a life full of promise.  He will inspire people for years to come.  He was also an American.  In fact, he taught me a lot about what it means to be an American because at one time he was my Economics/Government teacher in high school.

Free Wired dropped on Tuesday and has been on pretty heavy rotation on my iPod because

a) New Music! (well…since the last time I bought an album a couple of weeks ago )

Lea Michele sang this song on Glee last week.  Incidentally, I saw a great performance of where the song originates from – A Chorus Line – a few months ago!  I hope I did the song justice!

Oh Community, how I’ve missed you.  I wasn’t sure how I’d like Community this second season, given the way it all ended with Jeff kissing Annie after Brita declared her love for him.  I honestly thought the paintball episode seemed like it could have been the better ending.  But after how this episode wrapped up those elements, added in the Gollum-like Senor Chang, had Betty White as an anthropology professor, and the old white man says Twitter account, I have to conclude that it was pretty spectacular.  And of course, aside from the “Is there any room in this pocket for a little spare Chang?” line, the best thing ever was the anthropology rap with Donald Glover and Danny Pudi, featuring Betty White:
