Happy Apocalypse Day

Was rather disgusted to learn this morning that the world doesn't end until 10.12 in the evening, Australian Eastern Standard Time. So I didn't even get to sleep in, but rather have to put in a full day at work, and then I get to die. Whose bright idea was that??


So the world ends in about 15 minutes, apparently. Clearly the Australian Broadcasting Corporation believes the End is Nigh, as they've opted to put on an old Poiret episode in the logic that there's no point in broadcasting something worthwhile.

I know I should be out on the streets of Sydney, hunting for an End of World blip. But I've been out every night this week, I'm tired, and I have to start packing to go Up North to the clan. So a Foam Reindeer Girl will have to do.

And if I'm going to die, I'm quite ok with the idea of dying on my couch. My only question is whether there is chocolate in the afterlife?

Huh. I notice the ABC's broadcast of Poirot finishes at 10.12 pm precisely. Somebody has a sense of humour.

Postscript: It's 10.29 and there are no zombies on my doorstep and no fireballs raining down from the sky. Nothing. Which means I have to front up to the airport and do battle with the Christmas multitudes this weekend after all.
