Sweet. Classes canceled.

Time to sleep a bit more and catch up on schoolwork.

Yes, school closed on account of 6-8+ inches of snow overnight, with an estimated foot more to come.

::glee::

Seems maryland schools were silly and let school open anyways. And then announced an early closing.

On a side note:
Dear Chancellor Richard Herman,
Please send out the massmail regarding class cancelations prior to 8 AM. Some of us actually do have, and do attend, our early morning classes, and would have found it more than helpful to have been notified more than 5 minutes before 9 that classes were canceled.

Thanks,
Ben

(Yes, I trudged through the snow to the nearest intersection to wait for the bus. And stood there for a good five minutes before being informed by a passing car that classes were canceled. Doh.)

Eeeee, it's beautifully completely white outside

All of my non school activites have been canceled as well, so I'll be staying home for the entire day. As a result, don't expect any musicals to be posted today.

Will also take pictures. Well, kinda. It's really hard to get good pictures of snow.

Woohoo~ no classes tomorrow either

No classes tomorrow either. Sweet.

At this rate, I think I could get caught up with the work I've put off.

Photoshopping stuff with two monitors = nice. Nothing like more room to work.
I don't think this is optimal though - my current setup is as follows:
-LCD monitor on the right, laptop on the left.
-Photoshop running in fullscreen mode on the LCD monitor. Most of the palettes are on the laptop - taken up mostly by the navigator on the left half of the screen, and then the history and layers on the right.
-The wacom tablet is configured to map all pen input to the LCD monitor only. Mouse input covers both screens. But that means to move the viewing area, or to switch between layers, I need to switch either to the touchpad, or to the mouse. Not really a pain in the ass, but still, slightly slow. I need to figure out how to navigate using the keyboard.

There's a lack of a dock on the laptop. That annoys me a bit, since all of my other applications are "running" on the laptop screen, and things like Adium and Mail are set to expect a dock - so there's an semi-ugly blank space on the right (dock = right edge, starting at the top). Is there any way to duplicate both the dock and the menu bar?

My art is still ugly. :: sighs::

And yes, the weather is kinda nasty out there - I think there's very, very large piles of snow out there now, and the wind is blowing pretty hard (20+ mph tonight, 10+ mph tomorrow). (We do have a blizzard warning.) Looking at the map though, it looks like the snowstorm's nearly over... at least, it supposed to taper off around midnight.

Looks like Maryland's getting freezing rain..
