Today wasn’t much better as far as minor annoyances go, but I am feeling much more chipper. I finally sewed the hole in my coat, I am working on cleaning my kitchen and doing a bunch of laundry and, thanks to Supermarket Kiss and my zelenchutsi lady, I am going to be eating taco salad [...]

I went to see Madonna in Sofia with Matt yesterday. Although I am kicking myself for not bringing along my camera, I did manage to find an HD video on YouTube of her tribute to Michael Jackson. What can I say? She still looks and sounds great and the crowd was totally pumped. It was [...]

This weekend was the annual Kukeri Festival in Pernik. Abbreviated history: the kukeri ritual is meant to scare away evil spirits. If you want more info, check out the Wikipedia article here.
