Media I pay attention to - spoiler warning for House

So I was just in the craft center and this song came on. I was familiar with it, but I didn't know what it was called or who played it. It was just one of those songs I've heard around quite a bit. I also couldn't understand most of the words. Through some combination of intuition, contextual memory, and style, I guessed that it was Pearl Jam, but since I don't have any songs identified with Pearl Jam in my head I wasn't very confident in that guess. So I came back and Googled the one line I thought I could make out - "live for tomorrow." None of the lyrics that were coming up made sense with the rhythm. Finally I decided to stick my guess in there and Googled "Pearl Jam tomorrow lyrics." (I knew the word tomorrow had to be right.) Right away, the right song popped up - "Plush." I love it when I can identify music, especially when I really shouldn't be able to.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Dune. I'm also concurrently reading by bits and pieces the memoirs of Richard Feynman, a famous physicist who was in the generation after Einstein. When I finish Dune, I've decided my next book will be All Quiet on the Western Front. Dancing Physicist last night gave me a wonderfully detailed account of World War I, from which I learned several times as much as I ever did in high school history class, formerly my only source of education on the war. He recommended me the book before Spring Break, along with several others including Dune, but this conversation inspired me to pick it as my next one. Atlas Shrugged, which I bought in addition to the Feynman memoirs at a bookstore he showed me last week, will have to wait for the summer because it is fucking long.

Now, House. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this because I've already talked to quite a few people about it. But suffice it to say I thought Kutner's suicide was completely out of character and a stupid way to write out Kal Penn. I'm disappointed anyway because Kutner was possibly my favorite doctor, or at least the funniest and most heartwarming. But out of people on that show likely to off themselves, I'd have put him ahead of only House himself and Cuddy. In fact, in a conversation with Taub earlier this season, referencing a suicidal patient, he expressly said "no, it's people like me who don't do it." That said, in a narrative sense this leaves a wide swath of avenues for interesting fallout. I especially want to see what they do to fill the hole he leaves opposite Taub. Okay, I guess I did spend kind of a lot of time on that.
