party 1

i went to r's work around 8 and chatted with a taiwanese girl married to an american while r finished up his class. she had lived in oregon, pennsylvania, and hartford CT. and her accent was from jersey, which amused me. she translated for me with r's boss as i filled out an aplication. r emerged from his class with a giant plastic hammer - evidently he does prop comedy in the style of gallagher as a part of his classes. we left and went to check on the stray dog that r feeds. she is a very sweet black dog that lives in an alley behind the building where r works. r had bought her a pink bathrobe to keep her warm on this cold, wet night but it had ended up underneath the wheel of a scooter. he pulled it out and put it on the shivering dog, who promptly shrugged it off and followed us out of her alley. since we couldn't bring her to jacque's party, we ducked into a bar and had a few beers. also had some batter dipped french fries which were pretty good. the dog waited outside for a long time (it never goes inside), but finally gave up. it is only a matter of time before r brings it home - i told him as long as he takes her to a vet first and gets her a good bath, i don't have a problem with it. she is certainly a nice dog, but it's on him. and the cat already destroys quite a bit.

it's not my intention to comment on every post, but when you call out jersey i gotta holla. - the 'new jersey accent', for those of us fortunate enough to be blessed with it, is not an accent but a lack of accent.

shout out to prop comedy and dogs in pink bathrobes. whut.

Yay! Save the doggie!!

What's up Nick? This is a good little blog. It's nice to see what you've been up to. Sounds very exciting. I'm jealous, actually, since I haven't left the country in some time. Well, have fun, and keep eating cheap food and petting strange dogs. :)
