Oh. Woe.

So, Matt left Brisbane just after 6am this morning. There were tears (though not many, and not all from me - but don't tell him I said that) and now my house feels too large and too empty, even though Matt's not usually home by now.

I distracted myself by heading into the city and having breakfast (it wasn't yet 7am) and then going to see The Queen which was bloody brilliant. It's a little strange though to see events I remember so clearly, portrayed as history. But Helen Mirren was just brilliant - I think there was only one moment in the whole thing when I saw the actress not the character. I also liked the way they kept the two boys playing the princes mostly obscured - it added to the feeling so much. And I adored the Queen Mum with her snarkiness when her funeral was stolen from her, and her affection to Charles. And it was so weird feeling sympathy with Charles.

Yeah, basically I loved it

Then I bought lots of fabric and some skirt patterns.

Do you want to hang out on Wednesday? I have no money whatsoever, but I'll make my way over and we can play with Barbies and stuff?

Sounds fantastic. Tomorrow's a busy day, so a quiet Wednesday at home is great. We can eat bakery goods

Eeeexcellent. I'll bring your books back! And I'll bring Clive, so we can both work on fic if the need arises.

I really liked The Queen also. I was a little nervous about seeing it as I really couldn't figure out why there had been such fuss. Bloody fantastic. Made me think about a few things. Especial divison of personal privacy and Status privacy and media fed celebrity.

The Queen was made of a thousand bits of awesome. I spent the entire film practically vibrating with glee.
