Wasn't the doomsday date on X-Files Dec 22, 2012?

Huh. I was gonna say I didn't realize it went back that far. But then I remembered - 2012 is when the Mayan calendar "runs out" so some argue the Mayans thought the world would end then.

eta: And I'm gonna guess that Dec 22, 2012 is Winter Solstice....

I dunno. I just remember because it's my nephew's birthday.

OMG is this SNL live tonight? It must.

Killing me so far.

What'shisface with another song vid. I am sure it will be all over iTunes/YouTube in about 5 secs. That threw me right back to LL - I Need Love.

The Mayans were handy with a calculator. Their Y2K problem was twelve years later than ours!

Scrolling through lingerie as I attempt to get sleepier. I'm looking through Agent Provocateur and it's a whole lifestyle away. Most of the stuff so far (extra picture of Maggie Gyllenhaal, BTW for anyone that saw the five or so that came with the news of her posing) doesn't really go under clothes. Either it's bulky or is just plain toy.

Seriously I just watched it again - that is some funny stuff - catchy of course too. Also could Adam Levine be any cuter, and the end cameo - was unecessary but funny.

and to add to my endless string pf posts tonight - I love the kagillion Peyton Manning commercials out - he kills me with the not taking himself seriously.

Dec 22, 2012 is when I'll turn 40. So whatever's going to happen, it's probably my fault. Sorry.

Although, given how my birthday parties tend to go, an apocalypse might not be so bad.

I've been to one 40th, I think. It was an extravagant bash, with most parties flying in to New York and participating in a weekend of activities that ended with a huge party somewhere I don't even recall.

I think of that party sometimes, when I think of getting older. Will I ever be that adult/rich? Well, not both.

Nother relative, same side, had his 50th in Jamaica (he lived in Michigan full time) at an expensive resort. I guess maybe I could be the sort of 50 year old for whom that's plausible.

Why rush, though? I have two years before a zero birthday anyway. Well, one and a half.

Although, given how my birthday parties tend to go, an apocalypse might not be so bad.

It's possible Jesus might show up.

Which would be a benefit for your birthday party, as you'd only need to supply water and let Jesus do the rest....

Sheesh, the baseball odds are tricky for tomorrow. From Baseball Prospectus:

The East division title odds are now basically 50-50, with a very slight edge to the Phils: 50.4 for them, 49.6 for the Mets. The wild card chance is 3.4% for each of them. Total playoff chance 53.8 Philly, 52.9 New York. The chance of a playoff game is 53.2%.

That was before the Rockies won and the Padres lost. Then...

Looks like the Diamondbacks took it easy after clinching earlier in the day, as Colorado rolled to a 11-1 win. That win keeps the possibility of a four-team tie, and it happens in 12.5% of the simulations - a 1 in 8 shot. There is now a 40% chance that a wild card playoff game will be needed, and a 20% chance that 3 or 4 teams will be involved. The Padres’ odds dropped to 75% on the result, with Colorado moving up to 12.8% and the Mets and Phillies even at 5.9%.

That 5.9% for the Mets or Phils is for the Wild Card. One of them will win the East, but it's very unlikely one of them will sneak in as the Wild Card.

There will very likely need to be a tie breaker playoff game. Those numbers are based on computer simulations running each scenario something like a million times.
