Bastard's Notebook

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."
