34 of NKOTB's Greatest Hits

I love my internship. And I love that we do public programs and work with defectors and are planning this big international conference in February on refugees and the rights of the woman and child. And I love that after we have one of these things, the 8 of us go out to celebrate with fried chicken and beer. Steered clear of the beer for fear of getting some kind of reaction that I don't need before I go away, but yay for stereotypes and lack of enzymes - the 7 who were drinking at the table turned bright red by the end of their first glass! Everyone loosened up and my boss who speaks English on the sly actually said a few words to me! It was fun - I don't think I understood more than 10 percent of the conversation, but the chicken was good and a couple of the past interns were there and speak some English and offered to take me out sometime.

On the way back to the subway, we walked by a music store and I saw a poster for "34 of NKOTB's Greatest Hits." Do they have more than 34? Does anyone actually need 34 of their songs, much less be able to think of more than 5 of them?

There's a restaurant behind my internship that makes dog soup...I think my stomach will turn if I ever hear a puppy in the area. Makes me wonder about the pet store that sells "American Cocker Spaniels" two doors away...
