Heron´s observations of Argentina

-the cars are all pretty old. you’re not gonna see nothin nice or new here.nope, no benz’s, no range rovers, no bmw’s, no bentleys, no audi’s, no aston martins.
-when someone saw my blackberry, she described it to look like a “bed with buttons”, because everyone here just use very “primitive” phones. as basic as you can get.used only for calls and texts.
-i didn’t know empanadas were a national dish. they are sold everywhere. my favorite is carne picante.
-pesos are a third of the dollar, right now. $200 pesos is $60 - it’s cheap here.
-services here operate just like nyc! And in some aspects are just plain better. you can order delivery beer at 4am, and there isn’t a minimum!
-everyone drives pretty crazy. there are lanes marked on the street, but drivers make up their own lanes.
-there are ton’s of taxi’s everywhere.
-the spanish is not identical to european spanish or mexican spanish. and some words are pronounced differently.
-the city is pretty big, and each barrio (neighborhood) has it’s own flavor. some parts you will think you’re in a third world, where other parts you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a house on the champs elysees.
-there are tons and tons of pregnant women
-don’t come here if you’re a vegetarian, because this country is built on beef!
-the girls are FUCKING HOT.

i watched this movie yesterday. recomended by my dad, who´s visiting by the way. here goes my critic bit. i liked the little direction ideas in some parts, different ways to tell the story and that sort of thing; and Vahina (that´s her name, what a beauty). the rest, i don´t buy the creative rock star corporate ad biz life crap, that shit doesn´t exist or i hope that it doesn´t. teams aren´t gods. they get paid to do their job. and i really don´t believe that there are teams that think they are. i mean, isn´t humility and hope the fuel that drives you forward? if you think you´re on top of the world, that you´re the best, that in an elevator only fit you and your ego, you have nothing more to do my friend. just quit, you´re done. for making me ponder this, i liked it. and specially the directors gimmicks, but not the ad creative rockstar bullshit.

argh!

camera is here. :)

pics soon

thinking how to start this out.

i got a phone call yesterday. that i should go buy the Radiohead ticket. for march. 110usd. i´m waiting.

got to pick up my dad at the airport at noon. he´s staying with me for like a month. good times, i hope.

some blips


flow, flow, flow.

brain food

meet new people, somewhere else is around the corner. invent a recipe, like port salut cheese balls with olives in them. listen to music and play drums on whatever. make a video, try mixing shit up. talk to someone with your writing. interpret history and always try to be there.

new camera

in a week. so we can liven up this blog some.

now, just working. grinding.
