"It kinda feels like were in the house from fight club"- Luke

We're slowly dying in the house from fight club. In other words, it's really hot and the house we are staying in looks like it was part of the set for the movie fight club. Faded mirrors, stained sheet covered furniture, hardwood floors... Everything says that Marla might show up any minute. For those of you who don't know who Marla is, you should go watch fight club. Today was our second day working for habitat. We were at a different project site with a 15 person group from The University of Portland, Oregon. They have been in the south on a civil rights tour for one of their classes. They are finishing off their trip with a week of working at Habitat. They are outrageous and awesome; I'm glad to be working with them again tomorrow. Now a little bit about yesterday. Seeing as we didn't really do much other than eat and have siesta, the biggest event that sticks out is going to the dog park with our next door neighbor, Holly. It was a lot of fun watching all the different dogs from my shade covered chair. There was a little dog that i remember in particular; he was swinging around in a circle, clutching a tennis ball held by his owner. There was also a very weird person at the park. He had his shirt off and was constantly talking to himself or his two dogs. He said that he was homeless, and then, as he was leaving, he said that he was going to go send some emails at his house. I can't really do him justice describing him, but as Holly says, "Crazy comes in all shapes and sizes". Were off to have dinner with our friend Patti. Should be fun and delicious.
