Well this is it, eh?

As we all know, 2012 is the year when the Mayan calendar runs out of stone pages, the aliens from The X-Files commence colonization, and all kinds of other awful shit happens.

So enjoy your final New Year’s Eve. Next time this year there’s a good chance the planet will have been obliterated, the Black Oil will be dripping from your eyes, or something similarly unpleasant will be happening to any of us unfortunate enough to still be alive.

5,000 year-old prophecies are never wrong folks. But even in the unlikely event that this isn’t the last New Year’s Eve in recorded history, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to spend it than by reading Laura Garrison’s “The Long Happy New Year of Dora Wellington.”
