I apologize for not having written a whole lot recently, but I’ve had very little time to myself (as one might imagine.) I have been uploading my photos daily though, so if you keep an eye on those you can get an idea of what happened that day.

Anyhow…the other day Ross and Jules took me to Fremantle, this touristy place not too far outside of Perth. We ate lunch in a food court there (chicken karaage, yum) and walked around a bit, looking at some of the shops. There were too many people around so it was kind of crowded but still nice. A lot of the buildings in Fremantle are old-looking, and the storefronts reminded me a lot of downtown Oshkosh. It was a nice afternoon.

Also, I spent a good portion of one of the days with Ross, which was really, really nice. It felt so wonderful to be close to him again, and to have some time alone with him without other distractions. We spent most of the time in the city, which was great. I suggested having lunch at a place we’d never eaten at before just for some variety (Perth is not lacking in food establishments in the least!) so we tried this oriental place not far from where we parked. Mmmm, the food was so yummy. I felt like looking at the clothing in shops because the designs of the surfie-type look intrigue me. The grungy, falling-apart, random-typography look is so prevalent here, whereas at home it’s non-existent. I didn’t really find anything I liked though, so I didn’t buy anything. I got a shitload of CDs from JB’s though. (Brian, I have Phoenix and Tripod for you so far…haven’t found Black Books yet.) We also had bubble tea together and peeked in a tiny little goth shop (like a mini Hot Topic.) I know its been really difficult for Ross with me being here but that day seemed to cheer him up at least for a little while.

Aside from a few shopping excursions, there really hasn’t been a whole lot of activity. We went for a few walks in Kings Park and went up the DNA tower (always lovely) but most of the time I’ve spent lounging around and cuddling with Jules. The last few days he’s had a really terribly sore neck so he’s been feeling pretty crappy, but that just means I’ll have more opportunity to take care of him and show him how much I love him.

We were going to have dinner out with Jules’ family last night but Ivan was feeling really sick so we decided to postpone that until Thursday. We ended up watching Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow yesterday (visually beautiful but utter crap) and Napoleon Dynamite. The other night we went to see the Batman movie, which was okay…a bit slow in the beginning but the second half had some nice action. The Batmobile was ugly. XD

Well, Ross has arrived and Jules just finished his shower so I think I should go now. Life is wonderful. :3
