Ok, I'll own up to it.

When I first saw that it was Blog Like the End of the World day again, My immediate mental reaction was just a flat "ok, cool." and that's it. And that earlier post was a lame, flat attempt at starting off at it.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to continue participating this year. Partly, my brain's not in it, and mostly because my mind keeps saying "But we just had a zombie apocalypse last year, we can't be doing it again <i>already</i>, can we?"

I am an old fogey of meme-ing in this case apparently.

I don't know- I mean, it just seems to me that there's so many possibilities for a world-ending-in-24-hours scenario that keeping it to zombies feels too much like a cop-out. What about aliens? Interdimensional rips in the space-time continuum? A big ol' fog full of fucking deadly critters? Mass suicide? Good dependable thermonuclear war? <i>The proper stars aligning in the third and seventh houses?</i>

That's it. We need a "Blog like the Eschaton got Immanentized Day."

Me too. I did my best work that day. Can't top that. It can be found here. I even made phone posts:

HAHA!

I think it is fun, esp. if people are gullible enough to buy it.

But how about instead, we have "blog like McCain got elected" day?

I think I like zombies mostly because they aren't aliens. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, what hath thou wrought? Truly, I would be grateful for more creativity in eschatology.

i have a bliteotw post, but i'm leaving it private for now. it ended up a little "ew" because i did try to really imagine how I'd be if i watched my city be incinerated by pulse cannons yet was still able to blog. The mixture of shock, detachedness, and simply cold rationality is realistically me, but I don't know if it's something I want to own up to.

Considering we just blasted a Doritos Ad to our stellar neighbors for six hours straight, death by pulse cannons seems all too likely now. I'd say un-privatize it. I'd enjoy it, at the least.

Yeah I don't know if I can match what I did last year.

I have an idea but will see. Maybe after drinking a few tonight, I will have an awesome story again.

/ denotes end. So, you disagree?

It's a slash command for games that usually gets you an emote that you agree with the target.

This is what I get for not playing any MMO's since Asheron's Call.

I went to the bus stop this morning, but it was full of zombies.
So I went back to bed.
