Finally kicking it with the argentinos in Avalon.... Playing table tennis

For months now I've been meeting argentinos on the bus, occasionally chatting in Spanish. Now I've finally found their albergue in Avalon, just walking by to grab my ute half a mile down the road to the Red Herring.

Wow they really love their beer and marijuana. You can smell it everywhere. I effected tremendous skills at the one game I played, succumbing 21-16 or 17 in the end. But really striking some beautiful shots. It's been quite a few years. I played a little with JFK (not his real name) at Willoughby depot. A few years ago, but not at all with him at Mona Vale depot much.

The argentinos speak the voseo Spanish. And are fond of cussing saying concha (literally shell ('vagina') de tu madre). The double l letter is not pronounced as a y but as sh. Calle, street, or, be quiet sir/ma'am, is not pronounced 'car' [sic] yeah, but ka she(tland pony).

Antony Bowman, he was living in Avalon back in the late 90s. I went to his daughter's birthday party with all the rich privileged kids. I'd just seen his movie with Hugh Jackman at the cinema a little bit before like maybe weeks or months, paperback hero, with Hugh Jackman. I showed him my student film I made first thing at film school and he said to hit him up like in ten years. But I never ended up doing that but would be happy to meet him again and talk film or whatever. Maybe I'll shmooze more with these types now I'm doing acting classes Thursday night. But actually for now I'm happy just hanging out with the argentinos. Although they are super stoned on pot and drunk. It's pretty noticeable.

Did you notice lately Trump made headlines referring to Nancy Pelosi as an 'animal'? But it's interesting he never used any adjectives like hairy, dangerous or wild (sleepy? catholic? cheese munching?). That can be his homework while I play table tennis. My first game was singles but now I'll play doubles with Pablo or someone. Everyone here is super stoned. I can smell it.

Pablo is no good at table tennis and very stoned. These guys play if you lose 7-0 then you don't even play out to 21. That's how bad Pablo and I lost.

Hay que jugar nene.
