We in the north east/mid-Atlantic are getting slammed with a real life, honest to goodness snow storm. It started snowing last night before I got off work and it looks to have been snowing ever since. The state of Virginia declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY before even one snow flake fell.
Way to keep a stiff upper lip Virginia.
This morning the National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning that is scheduled to stay in effect till tonight at 6:00 p.m. It looks like we wont be going anywhere today. Not that we really need to. I’m still reading the new Stephen King book (I love it) and I really should finish Call of Duty: World at War. When I last played, I was a Russian sniper stuck in a burning building surrounded by Nazi soldiers. I don’t know what I dislike more: having to pretend to be a Godless communist or being surrounded by Nazis.
I can’t help but wonder how this blizzard will be effecting the opening weekend numbers for Avatar. Having a major chunk of the east coast get hit by a monster of a snow storm has got to have an effect on the box office. Not that I was planning on going to see it. One one hand, being a science fiction nerd more or less requires me to go see movies like this. On the other hand, the movie looks to me to be a giant World of Warcraft game run amok.
