No. They're not blood relatives. And I have no Slavic heritage (Irish, French, Cherokee, German.) But culturally, your designation sounds about right. ;)

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 1)

so are your cultural tastes based on a desire to complete the full set of ethnicities inside your family? ;-)

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

My cultural tastes are based on my upbringing and experiences. And the primary role of alcohol. ;)

so If you'd taken a different turn towards the stout counter rather than the Vodka one we'd be getting diaries on Irish politics, cinema, and folk music?

Heh. I was raised on stout! Lol. No, for real. I wish I were joking. We were given Irish whiskey-soaked corks to gnaw on when we were teething babies...

I once knew a guy who did his dissertation on the similarities of Irish and Russian folk music. There are actually a lot of commonalities in those two cultures. Striking, really.
