for science!

it appears that it's more likely that the neutrinos apparent speed was due to a testing issue.

in completely unrelated news, this take on america pulling funding from unesco is quite poignant. you only need to watch the main segment, you can skip the first half guilt-free.

on a similar note, though: alec baldwin makes a good case. i don't like peta, but that doesn't make this point less correct. zoos too are terrible, by the way, even though they're definitely not bad as circuses.

we watched synecdoche, new york last night, and suffered in spite of my appreciation for the mise en abyme. i have come to the conclusion that i absolute loathe philip seymour hoffman and the movies he plays in. this, red dragon and happiness completely destroy the impression made by his choices of working with the big lebowski, punch-drunk love and boogie nights (although i hated his characters in those movies, they're still awesome movies).

early night, early morning, and i should be getting cracking with something now :P
