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...

In which we talk about Sleepy Mornings!

Hello everyone! Good afternoon to you! Happy Saturday!! Yahoo! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope you are having a really nice one! How is the weather where you are? Here it's hot, per usual, but I have a fan facing my head and he's blowing really fast, as he should, so things are at least bearable! Winter, where is you? There has been some rainy days, but really nothing out of the ordinary, come to think of it, I guess, April had a bit more rain than this month, but I'm maybe being crazy, specially because April was overall hotter than May, anyways, what I can say is I have a feeling my vacations are maybe on their way! Hurray! June is coming in a regular speed, which is really nice, soon another corn season will be here and my blog will be one year old!! I can't believe it! Maybe on this vacations I'll be able to return to my regular schedule, maybe I'll be able to think of another short story or another poem, that sounds exciting! 
For today I was thinking of those mornings in which I cannot open my eyes no matter how hard I try, I know I had one today! You wake up when the alarm rings for the third time as in the first two times you couldn't hear the sound of it ringing in the first place, my head is heavy, my eyes refuse to see, everything is blurred, all my typings in the phone are wrong for I can't reach out the proper letters, I can barely get up the bed, even because my whole body weights a ton now, and I'm glued in my sheets, funny thing is until a certain point in the evening you could get up just fine, now it's impossible to have the same disposition. In the night is even hard to get to sleep, you count in your head the time you will be inactive, and that upsets you! In the morning, be inactive is your goal, every extra moment you get in the bed is a victory. It takes a while to realize you are dreaming at night, in the morning when you close your eyes there's a whole paralel universe in front of you. I studied in the morning period in the last 4 years of school, it wasn't funny, at all. As I eventually found out, being sleepy in a class is not too unusual and even now that I sleep more, I feel dizzy on the most boring ones, but of course, on the mornings is different. The nightmare that always is to keep your eyes open when they just want to close!! And when your body betrays you and you rest, when you wake up you feel even more tired! How tragic is that, honestly? The universe is a weird place! Fortunately sometimes at some moment sleepiness fades away and you keep on doing your chores more freely than before and your eyes finally decide to stay open. And so it goes.


Talking about sleepiness and dreams, this Painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, called "The Umbrellas" and made during the decade of 80 of the 19th century, is really dreamy for me, with the peaceful street scene, beautiful people wearing beautiful blue clothes on a beautiful blue day, in which people are realizing it will rain soon, so they're already preparing their wonderful blue umbrellas for the upcoming pour of water. Truly magic, this is the feeling I have with The beautiful face of the woman that salute us in the painting, with the girl that kindly stare at us, and at the work of the wonderful artist, like a dream, one that we want to dive in and there stay. Thank you Renoir. Thank you for the wonderful Umbrellas, this is the feeling of dreaming in a sleepy morning indeed. In fact I wish he could have made a work like this.
I'd say how much I need to draw this weekend and stuff, but I think this post is getting quite filled with words, so I better wrap up where we are! Thank you so much for being here, dear reader, you are the very best! Hope you may have a wonderful day and I see you next time hopefully soon!
