the finale was a giant sob fest. it really is hard to see such a great series go! i really loved the montage at the end though. this song kinda made the montage perfect.

yo green arrow
the only thing i can beg the cw to do is to not make the new green arrow show anything like smallville. make it dark. add some characters from the comic book. throw in some social issues. emphasize the lack of superpowers. don't make it lame and make sure speedy is somehow included in the show. i will accept the mia or roy version of speedy.
read a little about the new arrow pilot on hero complex.

social media talk
“It’s critical for brands to always be leaders, to always take risks
and experiment. There’s this notion that a lot of brands have of not
wanting to be first on a particular street or in a particular media
space. That has to change, because the brands that are not being leaders
in social media are being left behind very quickly. I also think that
[social media] is a unique space, and you have got to make sure the
people who are most connected, the ones who access it every day, are
empowered to be leaders in this environment. Often they are the youngest
members of a team.”
Craig Leavitt, CEO of Kate Spade
thanks, mashable for a whole buncha thoughts on social media.

student loan forgiveness act of 2012
signon.org has a GREAT petition on forgiving student loan debt as a result of a bill introduced to the house by michigan rep. hansen clarke.
a little more info:
a little more info:
Student loan debt has an undeniable and significant suppressive effect
on economic growth. The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 directly
addresses this enormous boot on the neck of the middle class and
represents a glimmer of hope for millions of Americans who, with each
passing day, find that the American Dream is more and more out of reach.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, respectfully request that Congress bring H.R. 4170, The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012, up for consideration and commit to holding a straight, up-or-down vote on it this year. Thereafter, we, the undersigned, respectfully request that President Obama sign this legislation into law.

you can sign it on signon.org and it takes two seconds! do it!
there is a nice little FAQ sheet on the bill on forgivestudentloandebt.com.

skins
i finally caught up with skins season six today. pretty much every storyline is perfect. mini and franky have grown so much since last season. i'm hoping alex sticks around for series 7.
sadly, skins was cancelled today.
the final run, which channel 4 promises will be "a celebration of this
truly iconic series", will feature famous skins characters from the
past five years.
i hope they wrap up all the open story lines especially cassie and sid.
