We finally pulled into Australia, the one place that's eluded us since '99. But as always, I had duty the first day. The seas were extremely rough, tot the point where liberty call wasn't called 'til the afternoon, one girl even fell in the drink attempting to board a lib' boat.
I finally got out there today, dodging Youngblood in the process. I went out with Wray, Frosty, and the new guy. Fremantle is the Smallville to Perth's Metropolis. There's no denying the comfort feeling of Fremantle's old world charm and architecture but across the bay, Perth's towers and commercial districts just beg to be explored... and we did. I was sorta rushing to get outta Fremantle anyway due to a "J'Mar" encounter. Wray hooked up with his Aussie penpal Skye, who looked a lot better in her pictures but we didn't get to hang with her since she had to work.
Finally saw the Hulk. Verdict: Ang Lee is the man. Jennifer Connely is gorgeous and Hulk is one of the best comic book-to-film adaptations ever, in league with the first Batman and X2. I'm still floored. The cinematography was awesome, it was like watching a comic book.
I also picked up that Seether album I've been eyeing since forever and I'm obsessing it as we speak. They've been touted as the Aussie Nirvana. They remind me of Staind before they got all depressed. Good stuff.
