The whole top righthand corner of my country is underwater

I haven't said anything about the whole Queensland flooding thing since I didn't feel like I had anything very helpful to say, but I just scrolled through my tumblr and there was nothing about it and I thought about how any of my Queenslander friends (who still have the internet :( ) might feel if it seemed to be being ignored. EDIT: And then I totally forgot my fellow Western Australians in Canarvon, who've also had flooding!

So: Wow! Floods! Inland tsunamis, wtf! I hope you guys and your friends and families are all ok.

Mostly via my twitter, which is full of information on the subject since that's where the majority of my Aussie friends hang out:
Here is a link to donate
here is a video of a Toowoomba street turned into a swirling maelstrom
Here is a map showing how freaking huge the flooding is. Zoom out!.

I think mostly getting my news via rss loses some of the visceral quality of watching it on the tv, it didn't 100% hit me how huge this all is until seeing it on the tv today.

Since I will probably not be up to complete sentences tomorrow

Had a FANTASTIC day today. Overdid it a little and will probably pay for it tomorrow, but that's ok. (Well, I say that now…) I think movie days where I get a lift home and I don't feel like I have to be the host (allowing me to drift off every now and then) are the best thing for me socialisation wise, rather hard to organise though.

Our toilet has broken (sounds like fun already, right?) so I tried to get that organised in the brief period I had before catching the absurdly slow bus that runs once an hour or so but requires very little walking.

Got to Garden City with a fair number of spoons left as a result (Note to self: email Transperth website suggesting a "I don't care how long it takes as long as you minimise the walking" option, as it is I have to do a lot of experimenting) Wandered slowly across the shopping centre to the opposite side where the food court is, buying several things I've been meaning to get for ages in the process. I took my shiny new cane and it was very helpful.

Met up with people, yay! Had an actually tasty if absurdly expensive salad from Sumo Salad (all the fresh vegetables, avocado, salt and pepper, fresh herbs)

Saw Tangled. It was great! Some issues with ethnicity and gender imo but Rapunzel is an incredibly endearing heroine and I had a good time. Five minutes in I went "Oh. This is a movie about a girl trapped in her house who does art to keep sane o.O", those with smothering, manipulative but superficially affectionate mothers may also find it a bit intense (luckily mine is not like that)

Went back to penchaft's house and said "Whoa. Have I mentioned that I lived two houses up from here in primary school?" like twenty times. Finally met her adorable and friendly cats.

The conversation kept returning to Homestuck much to the non-Homestuck-fans annoyance/confusion. Tangled: clearly set on Prospit.

And then I came home (thanks infamyanonymous! Even if you don't appreciate the GENIUS that is Homestuck :)) and then my body went blaaaaaaah and that's the end of the story.
