What do I do with my day off from retail work? I go shopping. Of course.

Net gains:

- Songs From Black Mountain, the new Live album (which I didn't even know was OUT because I am a LOON and they are my FAVOURITE BAND wtf)
- Sam's Town, the new Killers album
- Promethea volume 5, which is finally out in paperback
- the new Neil Gaiman short story collection, Fragile Things (ditto re: not even knowing it was out!)
- a tie for my brother for Christmas

I narrowly escaped spending $99 on an iBass speaker dock for the sole reason that they were completely out of stock in Woden and I couldn't be arsed busing back to Civic to get one from the Dick Smith branch there.

That was kind of draining. I think I need to go lie down and stroke my wordly goods now.

....Do you need us to start sending flour? Milk? Eggs? I hear frightening things about your food supply.

Mine in particular, or the country's?

The country's.

I think we'll be all right unless this season's bushfires conquer the wheat farms.

Well, I'm sure the Australian civil war of 2008 will need medics, so you'll be assured of regular rations. (Seriously, the paper here said a forty per cent increase in flour prices.)

I don't buy flour ever so I probably wouldn't notice. Bananas are three times as expensive at the moment, though.

I'm sorry. Nothing could match the horror for me of paying 40% more for flour. I would go quietly insane.
