In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

Song of the week! In which we go on a sleigh Ride!

Hello everyone!! Happy Friday to you and good evening as well! Welcome to another post of the Divagation Store! And also happy December and happy Christmas season! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope things are going really well for you! As for me, today I did a test and I guess I was fine, though we'll have to wait to see what is the final result! Good news is, I might have a chance of not losing any subject this semester, which is a Christmas miracle! Regardless of my position on this course, this is a blessing I should take on my life! I still have a test on Monday, but gladly I'm also being able to celebrate Christmas and December and my semi-vacations, in my way and with the energy that I have available! 
So, here we are today on another Song of the week day! And I just wanted to bring two versions of one of my favorite Christmas songs! Sleigh Ride! One by the amazing Ella Fitzgerald and the other by The Ronettes! These are my favorite versions of this wonderful Christmas song! 



Sleigh Ride in the Central Park, by Childe Hassam

This very exuberant and exciting song became one of my favorites when I finally heard it carefully in the beginning of 2016, on the movie Joy! It was the very wonderful version sang by The Ronettes! I also listened to it on the Christmas special A Very Murray Christmas on 2015, which is a fantastic piece of Christmas show that I need to write about soon! Anyway, the song has everything to be a fantastic song of the season, and it does just that! I wish I had snow here, it's full summer where I live, there're no sleighs or reindeers, which breaks my heart, but well, at least I can listen to the song! 
The more sober and jazzy but still wonderful song by Ella Fitzgerald is what it comes next! As usual, her voice catches me from beginning to end, and her interpretation of the song is really fantastic! I love jazz and how it suits the special season so well! Indeed fantastic! How I love Christmas songs in general! 
This song is really incredible, and if you don't have Spotify, don't worry, as the have the Youtube link to it right here!


And for this post this is it! But there's an album of the month coming soon today! Yay! But anyway, thank you so much for being here, you're the very best and you know it! See you guys soon!
