25 Things to Do While Waiting Out the Blizzard of 2010 Aftermath

You don't necessarily have to be an East Coaster to suffer the repercussions of yesterday's great Holiday Blizzard of 2010. Much of your Movieline staff is scattered and/or stranded in various corners of the United States -- in the slowest news week in human history to boot -- which has us in full-on resourceful mode. Here are a few things that might help us all get through the wait to get home (and/or leave the house); let's hear yours in the comments.

25. Plan a Natalie Portman baby-name office pool.

24. Write a short story based around this photograph.

23. Pay your bills.

22. Play a free online flight-simulation game in lieu of boarding an actual plane that will take you anywhere in the next two days.

21. Check out Tiny Furniture from IFC on Demand.

20. Make a batch of molasses-on-snow-day candy for all of your housebound neighbors.

19. Construct an elaborate Oscar campaign for The Tourist using only Stephanie Zacharek's rave review and old US Weekly photos of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

18. Quit Facebook.

17. Be the first on your block (apparently) to check out soap star Rebecca Budig's Johnny Weir-rousing, perfect-score-netting final performance on Skating With the Stars.

16. Have a free back-to-back viewing party of Stakeout and Another Stakeout, because why not.

15. See if you can get 50Cent to shovel you out of your home or apartment.

9. Experiment with a few dozen hot chocolate recipes.

8. Check out Exit Through the Gift Shop via Amazon on Demand.

7. Go back and listen to the entirety of Janice Whaley's Smiths Project output -- one year, 60-something Smiths covers, no instruments -- in one night.

6. Spend some time browsing Wikipedia via the "Random Article" function. Good news: You'll learn more than you ever imagined knowing about more than you ever knew existed. Bad news: It is addictive.
