uh...

You know, it's technically still summer.

Only in Canberra.

The ANU campus is closed for the day, which I found out about on the bus (...) So I turned around in the middle of the city, gawked at the enormous piles of hail for a while, and then caught another bus back home. Mixed blessing - Wednesdays are my Days From Hell, and as much as I appreciate an extra day to do assignments and lie in bed with tissues and warm drinks...this is going to royally fuck up my courses. This wipes six hours of lectures and a three hour immunology lab completely off the slate. I don't know if/how the lecturers are going to make it up.

This must be what snow days are like! Except with bonus massive amounts of structural damage.

( A surprising amount of meta. )

omgyay

No classes until Monday? Seriously?

*dances*

Though now I'm worried about the 70 campus buildings that sustained damage 'ranging from relatively minor to extensive'.

I put this request out via email but I figure I'll throw it open to the world, too:

What plot devices are your pet loves? I'm not really interested in fandom-specific stuff, just devices that you really love seeing. As major or minor or profound or ridiculous as you like.

(This is in the interests of helping me develop structure for a WIP that I have just unearthed, so bonus points for things creating tension/deepening the dynamic between people in an established relationship, but absolutely anything will be helpful. I'd like to be able to pull this post up for inspiration at a later date!)
