Another week down, can’t believe how time flies down here. I know it is only Wednesday, but Wednesday is my Friday down here, muahahaha.
So I spent this weekend at Rohan’s (Laura’s bf) uncle’s cottage in Mayana which is 3 hours down the coast from Sydney. For the first time, I was cold in Australia and I had to put a sweater on. Shocking, but it happened. It was nice to get in a nice relaxing weekend for once, did a lot of surfing, lying on the beach, and just napping. Except for Saturday night where it ended up being Rohan’s uncle and I pounding tequila shots, that was good times. All in all it was a quality weekend, a nice calm one to get me prepared for the storm that has been brewing and will touch down tomorrow.
Just got in from touch footy tonight and we are finally on the board. Not a victory, but a well deserved 2-2 draw. The Americanos didn’t show up so that is why we are doing better, I am gonna start recruiting more players next week, but let’s be honest who would not want to play for Captain Iron Mike?? Too bad TSN was not around tonight though, I scored what may turn out to be the try of the season. Just turned 3 of their players inside out and made them look absolutely silly out there. Not sure if they appreciated me brushing the dirt off my shoulder a la Jay-Z afterwards but I know for a fact Gino Reda would have, and so would Jennifer Hedger. This was highlight of the night material and my brief moment of glory so far this week.
The week is only gonna get better though (or worse??) because tomorrow night is everybody’s favourite night, Booze Cruise Night. Gonna go to the local Vinnie’s which is like a Salvation Army store and get me some nice old school golf attire and then get the festivities started at 3. It is gonna be a long night, and I already see how it is going to turn out. Our boat docks right outside the casino which is open 24 hrs so I will most likely end up there. I might as well go gamble while I am on a winning streak though. I took down $220 last Friday in a poker tourney at some guy’s house who I didn’t even know. That is the best feeling ever, walk into someone’s house, meet them for the first time and then take all their money. It felt damn good.
Friday and Saturday night are going to be large as well, and then I have an assignment due Monday and an exam Tuesday so that should be interesting. Easter Break is only one sweet sweet week away though, so if I don’t end up overboard tomorrow night it should be good times.
On a totally random note, I have noticed that mullets are huge down here. I see tons of mullets on a daily basis. Are they getting back in style back home as well or is it just an Aussie thing?? I am not talking dirty Tennessee Waterfalls or Kentucky Mudslides, I am talking about perfectly coiffed mullets. Like you see one, you look and say “damn that is a sweet, sweet mullet.” You can’t help it. Mark my words mullets are coming back with vengeance. I kind of want one. Maybe I will get one!
