well, yeah.

In the midst of my summer school induced boredom this week, I couldn't really keep my mind to my studies and basically just thought of a bunch of random stupid stuff that for some reason I've decided to share. First off, I have no idea where "beachball sunset" came from, other than inside my little confused head. I guess I thought about the beautiful Galveston beach today? Nah. Anyway, not really sure what I'm going to put up on here. The only thing I'm really sure about is that you probably should be doing something better with your time than reading this. In that same vein, I should probably be doing something better with my time than writing this, but that's probably not going to stop me. If I'm not writing, it just means I'm too lazy to get off the couch and stop watching Law and Order or something equally intellectual.

Okay, first post. My parents have been really into going to festivals around Texas lately. It started with the more innocent "catfish fry" and "crawfish boil" type events, but has slowly spiraled down into the world of Polka Festivals. My dad is Czech and he was around it as a kid, and now apparently he feels some impending sense of mortality and has decided to reconnect with his roots. That's what I hope, I guess. Anyway, my mom, in typical mom fashion, got my dad a shirt for Father's Day that reads: "Yak she mash, I'm Czech". Very original, I know. The shirt looks entirely too big for him, so at least he has an excuse not to wear it. Okay, so what I thought was mildly amusing was the fact that they are planning on going to another Polka/Czech/Old People event in the future, something called "West Fest". I was for some reason delighted by this, even though its really dumb. Here you go: http://www.westfest.com/. I'm just hopeful that FPH West Fest starts leaning towards traditional Moravian costumes and kolache fun-runs.

Update: He wore it.
