There's no point to any of this. It's all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in details...

Bulgarian Movie Night
We crawled out of our snowy shelters for the Bulgarian movie night organized by the other Bulgarian volunteer Anastasia and me. It took place in the city art studio known as Atelje Clobb.
Back into 60s. While out there, in the West, they are listening to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, the hippie movement is at its height, pupils in Bulgaria are obliged to be shingled, to wear full-dress uniforms and sing military songs. But for how long? A group of pupils from a language school believe they have to live differently. They are seeking for ways to shake off everything phony, to be candid with each other, to be part of a wider, much more motley and interesting world. Some of them pay a high price, other experience cruel worldly lessons, but they at least made their best to save face.

Then the "Ice Age" came...
Feb 4 (Reuters) - Snow and ice has paralysed Slovenia, bringing down trees and electricity pylons, cutting power from 50,000 homes and causing millions of euros of damage.
Three days of blizzards inflicted "the worst devastation in living memory" in the small Alpine country, local media said. More bad weather is expected this week.
Fluctuating temperatures caused snow to half melt and then freeze again, leaving parked cars entombed in a thick shell of ice.
In and around the city of Postojna, in the west, people used axes to try to free their cars from ice 15 cm (6 inches) thick.
With railways at a standstill and some petrol stations and even bank ATM machines frozen solid, the country faced millions of euros of losses through infrastructure damage and economic inertia. Slovenia's busiest port, Koper, ground to a halt.
Slovenia has suffered the worst weather in the region, which also hit neighbouring Croatia.
