Welcome to post #2 of 2009 – that’s one more than I had last year .  Guess that must mean I’ve got some time to kill, since unfortunately it tends to be about the last thing I think of to do…

Recently I’ve been starting to hear more Y2K-like paranoia about the end of the world being upon us.  This time it’s come in the form of doomsday predictions surrounding the year 2012 – the so-called end of the Mayan calendar.  One of many problems with the theory is that it isn’t actually the end of the Mayan calendar, according to many Mayan scholars.

In any case, when we wake up December 22nd, 2012, I wonder in what form the next doomsday prediction will come.  But that still doesn’t mean I won’t still watch the movie
