Welcome to my second least favorite programming headache (after time zones) that I run into annoyingly often: paginating through time with 'now' being the starting page. You're navigating left because it's a previous entry, but it's also right because it's the next entry you want to read.

Maybe I should add 'First Entry' and 'Most Recent' buttons in addition to 'Previous Entry' and 'Next Entry' to make it feel a bit better.

Maybe top/down instead of left/right would solve the users expectation problem.
