I went to the zoo on Mon with Misha, Julie and Tomas. We happened to witness a case of animal love gone so very wrong, as a goat spent 30 minutes trying to rape a pig. All the parents were covering their children's eyes, and we were laughing and taking pictures!

So, finally I am seeing improvement in my Czech, mostly due to the time I've been spending with Misha's family, only speaking Czech. Of course, it still sucks, but its certainly better ( Read more... )

I found sweet potatoes! The fruit and vegetable place by my house has them. I doubt they will again, so I'm off to go buy all of them as well as more tiny cucumbers to make pickles with...

If anyone knows a recipe for the gravy to go with sweet potato fries, I would be very appreciative.

I am so disappointed that the election is over as of today. Despite the fact that I can't understand half of what the commercials are about, they're hilarious, and they would show them in hour long blocks every day. There are weird little parties for Folklore or Poetry and I'm pretty sure there is one for people who like sports. There are also a ( Read more... )

Some random Czech guy came up to me last night and asked where I learned such good Czech. For the record, I do not speak good Czech, so I'm pretty sure he was just hitting on me, but I'll still be happy for the compliment ( Read more... )

Misha and I moved into a new flat, or rather I have moved, and he's been too busy at work to actually move his stuff. But its the cutest flat, which is good since I didn't get to see it until the day that I moved in. Misha had seen it, but i had to work whenever they could show it to us ( Read more... )

I got my engagement ring this weekend. I had asked for a garnet, and Misha and I went to about two dozen stores and looked. I finally found on that I fell in love with. Its a slightly rounded triangle, set in silver. The stone is very dark, but in the light it looks like there are red sparks in it. And on the side of the triangle that isn't ( Read more... )

Here's the link to the story: http://community.livejournal.com/customers_suck/15454305.html?#cutid1

Its actually pretty funny, and illustrates why Europeans dislike Americans (this is just the worst of dozens of stories like this). Oh, my God, I hate people.

I just found out that its insanely cheap to get married in one of the many castles of the Czech Republic. As in less than 10,000 Kc, or $400. Now who would fly out here to see me get married to Misha in a castle???

I have never seen such a thing, but Misha's cat likes to play fetch with my pony tail holders. She stalks me around the flat until I take one out of my hair to go to bed, and she snatches it. Once she gets over the joy of finally getting it, she brings it to me and meows until I throw it. And just like a dog, will fetch it and repeat, endlessly.
