It seems like I’m always running around frantically before any big holiday trying to get things in order. I’m a last minute Christmas shopper, guilty of paying hefty overnight fees for shipping. I’m always realizing one or two days after Valentine’s Day that I bought all kinds of heart shaped candy sprinkles for decorating cookies – cookies that I forgot to make in time for the holiday. Easter is coming up – and I’m planning on making Easter chocolates for a celebration with friends – assuming I don’t lose track of time and forget to buy all the ingredients I need before Sunday. But this time, THIS TIME, I think I can be on time for something!
See, Judgement Day was SUPPOSED to be on August 29, 1997 – with Skynet becoming self-aware on August 4, 1997. Ye–aah, but I was really busy planning my wedding and didn’t get a chance to make my “I <3 AI’s!” sugar cookies, like I had planned.
But thanks to Sarah Connor I got a reprieve! – Judgement day was now scheduled to occur on July 25, 2004.
Un —fortunately that was the year we started looking to buy a house, and you know what it’s like, trying to navigate the maze of ARMs, 30 year fixed rates, points, home inspections, escrow – well, the time just slips through your fingers, it does.
However – it looks like I’ve still got some time to make my oil can shaped sugar cookies – apparently Judgment Day is scheduled for tomorrow since Skynet became self-aware yesterday!
(Imaginary PA hands me a piece of paper with a bulletin on it)
Oh man, according to this important update, tomorrow’s Judgment Day is a result of an event in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Ooh. TV. I think that makes it suspect as canon – does it? Or is one temporal alteration the same as another whether it’s on the big screen or small screen?
Eh, whatever, I’m going to bake these cookies anyway and eat them all myself. Why not? We’re all going to die tomorrow.
I think.
