Why I Will Never Have Children

 I will never have children. BECAUSE
they are way too much work.
As you have noticed I've had no time to blog. I love these two little girls but, I am very excited that I am almost finished now.
 
С наступающим Новым Годом !!

Red Fox

Saturday night me and a friend Beth, who is a Canadian spending her junior year of undergrad here, went out to a little jazz place called the Red Fox Jazz Cafe. It's pretty small but not in the cramped claustrophobic way, it was more warm and cozy. Which is nice since it's been rainy and freezing all weekend and it looks like all next week will be too. We both has some Столичная (Stolichnaya) and just relaxed and listened to two brothers play, one with a very sultry voice might I add. 
Apparently Beth comes here all the time because everyone seemed to know her. I met her when I was at a store the other day and had no idea how to say "return", i just completely forgot. She figured out I was a native English speaker and helped me out. Her Russian completely kicks ass, it's leagues better than mine. I don't even think she has an accent. But she's majoring in Russian language so devotes most of her time to it. 
Anyways I liked that it was dimly lit and kind of conducive for good conversation. We had an interesting chat with a guy around our age about how Canada is a less racist country than America and the like..


Валерий: But the biggest problem with America is that it thinks it is the center of the universe but it's not, you know

Beth: I agree, Валерий
Me: (getting defensive) we'll... 
Beth: I mean, no offense but really, who invited you all to the middle east anyways (reinforcing earlier point)
Me: (slower song begins two play) hmm, why don't you two go dance


and so an excerpt from the last bit of our conversation, which fizzled out miserably
But they did go dance, for quite some time.. I think we'll be seeing more of Валерий in the future.


Валерий = Valery (which is actually a pretty common boys name here)
