So I have this friend (who also was my first boyfriend in the sixth grade) who now works as a nuclear physicist in Geneva.  I can only assume this means he’s learned French and is helping with the Particle Accelorator (whose existence I only discovered last year even though it’s been in the making for 14 years). 

Apparently, this thing is supposed to make teeny black holes in which to create new universes and dimensions.

cool.

Also, apparently, there’s a lawsuit to prevent its operation because some (diminutive feline expletive deleted) is afraid the Earth will get sucked up into a black hole.

After listening to this: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89265915  , I think it’s a worthwhile risk.  I mean, consider the future the way it currently stands.  More…what?  Pop culture?  Interweb?  Now, consider the future with alternate universes. 

Life has the potential to be a whole lot more interesting if this thing runs than if it doesn’t.  And if the Earth gets sucked up into a black hole, at least I won’t have to worry about my poorly-performing 401K anymore.   Besides, The Doctor won’t let that happen.  The Earth’s demise, I mean.  Not the 401K. 

More snarky tee-shirts

As of today, I’ve decided that February, 2009 will mark my extraction from the current day job which pays me well, provides me with free benefits, buys me lunch, steals my soul and saps me of all satisfaction and self-worth.

7 months until poverty and uncertainty.
