I'm happy for all of you snow day people. Sad that I don't ever get snow days again.

Ugh. My room phone is ringing. Can I ignore?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

One of the things I didn't expect with learning 3D animation is that you don't try to make things look like the real world -- you make them look like the real world looks to our eyes/brains, because it's way more convincing and subtle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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:

Paid some kids to shovel my walk. $10. So worth it to me today. I've got my lazy pants on (aka, my pajamas)!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just remembered I have to go out and be presentable later. Oh well...

You aren't being lazy, you're stimulating the economy.
