I would expect just the opposite: moving the finger down scrolls to the
morning, moving it up to the evening. This would match the "pulling"
analogy used by all touch interfaces I know about. Doing it the other way
around would be very surprising to most users, despite being consistent
with conventional desktop interfaces (ignoring the "natural scrolling"
thing introduced by OS X Lion).
