I'm not quite sure how to translate the paragraph then. The baka-tsuki one doesn't really make sense for me, either.
/EDIT In any case I always took it to mean that Kyon had lost his childhood thoughts about aliens, espers, etc. by around 2000 - the age of, um... 8 or 9? Earlier, maybe...
//EDIT No, Kyon is supposedly around 16 or so. That would have made him six when he would have lost his fantasies, which is possible, but unlikely.
Any suggestions on how to translate it then?

I think the Baka-Tsuki one is fine.
The meaning I got was that he was thinking maybe something exciting was going to happen around that time, you know, new millennium and all, end of the world kinda thing.
According to the novels, by the way, he lost his fantasies in his last year of middle school, due to the (negative?) influence of a certain girl...
