In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era.

In which we talk about the Empire State Dream

Good morning dear reader and I wish you the best! How are you today and how are things going? Again, I wish you the best, and hope everything is fine with you! As for me, I'm okay, just waking up so far! Drank my daily capuccino, and I am enjoying the colder weather!I mean, just 26C/79F, not too cold though! And how is the weather where you are? Like I said, quite a nice day where I live, clouds and cold wind, I mean, give me some credit, I live in the tropics lol, anyway, let's jump into this crazy dream I had, that happened in New York!


In this very realistic dream, I was in New York City paying a visit, a city I am fond of, because of how beautiful the buildings there are. Or anyway, used to be fond of, it intimidates me for the most part, plus I am not too fond on the mood that the city was ingulfed in on the last years or so.... I went as far as I could on my actual thoughts on my Madonna post, where I rambled about how I have a complicated relationship with her American Life album, I'm afraid I give her too much credit even, I should just ignore those people. Anyway, back to the dream. Very confusing it was, because at one moment I was at the house of my grandparents, eating tasteless cake and dreaming about bombons on the coffee machine, on the other I was visiting the Empire State Building, that was on the wrong place there even, next to the Washington Square Park, in Greenwich Village, not on Midtown as it was supposed to be! And what's worse, there were so many things at that place, it was an apartment building, it was filled with stores, at a point it was the Hotel I was spending my time, even if my actual hotel was right nearby the Empire State, so odd indeed.Also, so many fancy decoration and wonderfully rich and goodly dressed people, I was so happy t be around such splendor! I met some people in my dream, DoorMonster was there via videos on the phone as well, and my former friend Kryssia Appeared too, which was an unwelcomed guest, I have to say. Anyway, and a mall also appeared on the dream, at least its parking lot. It was a dream about locations above all else, as we can see! Anyway, this is it for today, my friend, just sharing this confusing dream with you all! I bid you farewell and I see you on the next post, that will be coming HOPEFULLY very soon!
