Things to do before the world ends tomorrow

Well, according to some civil engineer in California the world is ending tomorrow.  This is based on 7,000 years since Noah's arc and some bible stuff and clearly took into account the recalibration of leap years in the 1800's, the installation of an international date line, etc... but tomorrow is the day.  Even though he said it was the day in the 90's and we all missed it.  And even though he's suddenly hedging that it might not be tomorrow after all.  But it's tomorrow.  It's starting at the international date line and moving west.  Cuz those man-made constructs are important (Poor Samoa...they' just moved to the wrong side of the date line last month).  So here's my to-do list:
  • Eat sushi.  Cuz I'm sure the food in heaven (or hell, depending on where I end up) is amazing and all (or unnecessary?), but I still enjoy some good raw fish.
  • Clean my apt.  I know, why bother.  But if someone's looking for me and I'm not there, at least while they're looking they can think, "wow, she kept a clean house."
  • Feed the pets.  I dunno if they're coming or not, but if not, I should leave the food bucket open for 'em.
  • Cancel my doctor's appts.  It's just polite.
  • Return my netflix dvd.  Again, it's just polite.
  • Jump on the bed.  Clothing optional.
  • Watch the sun set.  Actually, it's raining... nevermind.
  • Talk to God.  I actually do need to do that more often.
  • Shower.
  • What else?  Ideas?
I really do feel terrible for the families torn apart by this event, the children left behind, the credit and employment opportunities destroyed.  But maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe he's right.  I feel that this is really God's call, not for any human to predict or calculate.  But maybe God will end things tomorrow, I dunno.  It's not my place to know.  In either case, I feel completely heartbroken for whoever is wrong in this scenario.

  1. Hey, the sushi sounds like a really good idea! We're planning to go to a rummage sale tomorrow, but if this is moving west to east (he has that on good authority, huh?) Abraxas High School may not need the funds so much. Maybe I should go out for that sushi tonight instead of the ham and noodle casserole I've planned!
    This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a billboard!
