I got lori safely to the train even though the roads were crap. Nasty out there.
Phew! I was worried about you guys out there! I am home thank god. I need to get over this crap ass cold or whatever it is. I will have to go out and shovel and dig my car out later so I can take the dog to the vet this evening. Poor old dog. He's been so trembly and confused lately. And incontinent. yay.
Is it a snow day in Atlanta?
Some. What I'm hearing is they had less snow than us and it's already heavily melting. In the city, the streets never got that slushy, so they didn't ice up badly overnight. But I wouldn't be surprised if some things are closed anyway.

GA Tech is open, I think.
I'm happy for all of you snow day people. Sad that I don't ever get snow days again.

Grrr, Paypal rejected my attempts to buy something on etsy as suspicious. (I changed my address while checking out.) They are so on my shitlist. But how can you buy pretty things on Etsy without them?
Star Wars/Disney mashups: Minne Mouse as Slave Leia
This is deeply wrong. There's a new line of Disney/Star Wars statuettes that will be available at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disneyland in California this summer for $200 each. I think your name is put on some kind of watch list if you buy the Minnie Mouse/Slave Leia figure. The other figures in the line are Mickey as Luke (something about Yoda looks unusually creepy, right?), Goofy as Chewbacca, and Donald encased in carbonite:
