Nonsense. The world ended on June 14th, 1873. No one noticed at the time.

It's a bit cloudy. Does cloudy signify impending doom?

I've attached a pair of WAKE boosters to the hardpoints on my back and launched myself into orbit. At least when I'm left alone drifting in space, I'll be able to catch up on my Armored Core.

1. Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!
2. This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Goodie, I can finish reading The Extended Phenotype (hard book to find!). But I thought the comet was supposed to hit today. I was just about to grab a lemon bar and a latté just in case.

Heh. I'm just waiting for some random fireball over the east coast to start a panic.

My left eye is feeling kind of puffy, but I doubt that's a sign of impending destruction either.

Sky and Telescope has some neato pics of the S-W comet passing in front of the Ring Nebula:

Get those library books in, people! No wonder I can't find what I'm looking for.

16:25 EDT and the world is still here. It's good to know yesterday's effort in mowing the lawn was not wasted.

There is still time for the world to end today, but I really hope it won't. There's X-Men 3 tomorrow, the World Cup, my birthday and Superman Returns in June.
Now if Argentina wins in July 9th, the whole universe may collapse for all I care.
