There is a major cyclone building up off the coast of Queensland.
They anticipate it will be *very* large and *very* dangerous.
And the predictions have the eye going right over my city.

I can talk the talk
but fail at walk the walk.
I know that blogging is one of those things you mainly have to do for love. But I've gotten so accustomed to having comments on blog posts in my story blogs that I'm really nearly ready to abandon the lot of them.
After I cry about the whole thing that is. Sad, I know.

Definitely no fun
Living in north Queensland, we regularly have alerts about cyclones.
Currently there is one for Cyclone Anthony, still a fairly long way away but predicted to hit the coast almost directly over town.

Another good Mimi and Eunice comic
I'm also really fond of several of the offerings from http://icanhascheezburger.com/
This includes LOLCats, LOLDogs, Very Demotivational, and failblog. They add up to at least one smile a day.

Cute thing going around Facebook lately
The instructions
1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. 3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together. 5 - Post it with this text and tag the friends you want to join in.
Mine was
Band name - Secret Rendezvous
Title of the album - Marry your equal
And my first album would look like
That worked well.

Compelling reading
A friend told me about PostSecret years ago now. The secrets are sometimes sad, sometimes scary, sometimes too much information. Some are very simple postcards, others are elaborate pieces of art.
Telling those secrets must be heartbreaking sometimes and incredibly freeing at others. You may laugh, you may cry but you are likely to read every card from start to end.
