This is what happens when I don't get enough sleep

I lay awake in bed in the middle of the night and wondered what will become of the goofy glasses people wear for New Year's. You know, the ones where the frame is in the shape of the year in numerals (2007, say), and the two middle zeroes surround your eyes. What happens when the year 2011 hits?

Ay, maybe they'll start making goofy hairbands with the numbers on top instead. I can just imagine the 1s getting broken off and stabbing people in the eye....

At some point I heard people referring to 2000s as the Aughts. But I don't think it has entirely caught on. We could be snooty and call it the fin de siècle though that doesn't really refer to the decade. Wait another twenty years and maybe there'll be a sitcom called "That '00s Show", and we'll finally have figured it out.

Actually, "That `00s Show" makes me want to pronounce it "That Double-Ohs Show"

Fin de siècle

Wouldn't that be the 90's?
