**3:30 AM**

So, it is 9:36 EST and I am going to bed. The supercollider is set to be tested at 3:30 AM in the morning. So.... if I don't wake up ever again, I guess the whole black-hole-sucking-the-planet-in is, well, not so much a theory anymore..... So see you tomorrow?

Thailand's prime minister was forced to resign along with his Cabinet on Tuesday after the Constitutional Court ruled that he had violated the constitution by hosting TV cooking shows.

Looks like, given those who are able to accompany me on the "down under" adventure, the south island of New Zealand is the front runner for a week of avoiding the real world.
