Have you seen the movie Corpse Bride?

I can commend it with enthusiasm to everyone, who can stand the dark sense of humour of Tim Burton. Personally, I adore it.

Not so long ago I watched this movie and felt in love not only in the story, but in the characters and the way the puppets are made.

Besides, the music is fantastic and complement the visual perfection of this modern fairy tale.

The dialogue has fine, subtle jokes - like the line: “Why go up there when people are dying, to get down here?”…

I really like all Burton’s movies, but by my humble opinion, this one is a true masterpiece, even better than Charlie and the chocolate factory.

I wish to be part of team that creates such things like these puppets with their delicate mechanisms, vivid faces and flexible figures.

Probably Burton will come one day in Bulgaria to make a movie like this, who knows.

If that, write me in, please.

Somebody sent me this funny test with images. You can try by yourselves, if you want to check your “visual DNA”.

It says i am - an Easy Rider (wish I was).

Probably every time you do it, the result will be different, depending on your mood at the moment.

But anyway, it’s nice for some tiny distraction.

I am having this plant from over two years already.

Its father was growing in my previous office and it was twice bigger, but nobody ever seen it blooming and I thought that it is just not that kind.

Well, few days ago this greeny surprised me with beautiful blossoms and made me very happy.

I didn’t expect such a present from it, I used to like it the way it was.

If somebody knows the name if this plant, please, let me know it.

I usually feel very strange about this date. We all know how fictional is this celebration and like it is not the day of love, but the day of all sellers of flowers, balloons, heart-shaped souvenirs and etc.

But hey, if look the matter this way, aren’t all holidays in the year special because we want them to be?

Today I found in the news the oldest valentine at all.

It’s written on it:

“My dear the Heart which you behold,
Will break when you the same unfold,
Even so my heart with lovesick pain,
Sure wounded is and breaks in twain.”

I made a simple translation in Bulgarian, which I posted in the other version of this blog.

This is my way to say Happy Valentine Day to all of us who celebrate Love, not simply this day.

Heh, this can’t be true…This guy is crazy.:-))

Oh, at last. Two whole weeks after the concert of Dublin City Workingman’s Band in Sofia (January 26th, National Palace of Culture, Hall 2) I started to write about my own impressions from the event, mini review or sort of.

This concert was one of the numerous events, dedicated to our acceptance in the European Union. (All that jazz, I little bit annoying, huh?).

Before the concert small glasses with Baileys и Bushmills were responsible for ensuring the proper mood for Irish music. First Lilly Drumeva with her band Lilly of the West made some songs, very tender and totally unobtrusive stage performance.

The atmosphere was great, but could not prepare us at all for the following typhoon - the wonderful Workingman’s Band.
