The crows are depressing. They sound SO MUCH MORE DEPRESSING than in America. (Mostly due to their lower pitch-tone. Blargh.)

So far, this is the city that ALWAYS rains for some reason. It seems to FLOOD with the downpour of a million buckets.

It’s too damn bad that this hotel/apartments/condo (courtesy of the Grand Mercure) does not have any internet at all. Goddamn, there’s not even any ethernet over here, arrgh. Fucking cheapasses. I hope you guys rot in hell.

Right now I’m watching Frost/Nixon right now. Entertaining docudrama about a recorded interview between interviewer Frost and interviewee Nixon. Set in 1977.

The previous night I watched the majority of Watchmen, only because I watched the Eastern (or New Zealand? Probably not.) broadcast of it, but then I discovered a Western CLEANER broadcast of the damn bugger, so I was able to rewatch some parts that I missed. Let it be known that John/Dr. Manhattan’s transformation (with his circulatory/skeletal/muscular systems exploding, time ticking down and all) was FUCKING SCARY. Like, good god how could a man survive that explosion is beyond me. Also, it was fucking obvious that his colleagues got cancer from asbestos (crazy ‘50s, huh?). Thank you Ramses II, for revealing everything in the end! (Asshole.) Also, squeeeee Macintosh inverted!!

(Strange how Nixon was in both movies, though... What is this, Nixon week? He seemed much nicer and down to earth in Frost/Nixon, though.)

Also, I watched a James Bond movie set in Japan, called You Only Live Twice. Hella awesome, and I mean HELLA.

On the flight here the day before... WHOA. I skipped a total DAY. O_O (No Friday for me ;_;)

But the Qantas airline flight on the Airbus A380 was AWESOME. Total double decker plane?! WANT.

Snack bar FTW baby. But the best thing was the In-seat entertainment.

Yeap, free albums to listen to, and free movies to watch. ALL INCLUDED IN YOUR TICKET PRICE.

(I watched Nowhere Boy, a documentary about John Lennon. His mother’s death was so sad, being freakin’ RUN OVER BY A CAR. Caught me in the tears. ;_______;

Let’s just say I have MUCH more respect for the man now. He’s up there with George Harrison now, in my eyes. Sorry Paul, but you’re still an old asshole.)

Guns n’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction, Ella Fitzgerald’s Ella Fitzgerald, and Queen’s A Night At the Opera (mostly “Bohemian Rhapsody”)… ahh~

And I got to learn my Vietnamese, too! Thank you, Berlitz World Traveler for your expertise.

Ultimately... HOLY SHIT THE AIRPORT IMMIGRATION/CHECK-IN AT SYDNEY WAS HEAVEN!!

Japanese student group came in... LARGE group of people... Half Japanese boys... and half Japanese GIRLS! Teenagers, too! And they were even wearing their little uniforms too! Their ties... their suits... their SKIRTS… on Saturday, I think I finally died and went to heaven... <3

All in all, it was a pretty boring day otherwise, but the city market next door was OK, at least. BUT. The Japanese GIRLS... my highlight of the day... *ayiii sigh~* ^_^
