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. She brought flowers a...

In Which we say Hello to the month of May!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday and good morning! How is the weather? How are you? Feel free to say something in the comments, if you'd like! It is May! So, this month has a promising start, if will keep it that way, remains to be seen, but so far, let us hope for good moments and productive ones, also, paving the way for a nice winter, corn season and vacations. As for the plans for the month, I hope to stream more, if I can, I will return to my previous schedule, of streaming in the weekends and also perhaps a day a week. Apart from playing games by myself, I will see if I can play some Age of Empires with my friends, and perhaps Anno, also I played Anno 1404 recently with my friend John and it was very nice. I hope to draw more often, also, and like I mentioned before, I have a list of friends I wanna make fanarts to, including my friend Sam, and my friend J. Today, I finished a second portrait to my friend Gerald, and I think it looked nice, overall! Just gotta pay attention to the details when doing the drawings, and I will get the eyes, nose, eyebrows, hair and the face shape right, or close to it. Apart from drawings, gaming and streaming, maybe I could read more often? I don't know, just a thought, I have a book to finish, just can't find the motivation to keep on it! I don't know, I don't wanna force myself into doing it, but I think reading is cool. I hope I can make some progress in my Human Action Audiobook, it's such a long book! More than 60 parts, each one having at least 40 minutes each! I don't expect to lose much weight, because it's a process doing so, but if I do, by eating appropriately and by managing to do some walks, that would be very much welcomed, and would take the world out of my back, "you gotta lose weight, Daniel, do you wanna have diabetes?" and so on... there is no good side in being fat, your face is chubbier, you are more clumsy, you get tired faster and by consequence spend more time resting in bed (not necessarily bad, but this is a time where you could be working on some drawings, perhaps?), I don't need anyone telling me so frequently how much this sucks, I know first hand, but I also am not that miserable being fat, I mean, you get to live, anyway. It is what it is, takes time to lose it, for me it is a journey with many bumps. Well, enough talking about weight issues, at the end of the day, I'm okay with how I look, I don't think I'm handsome, but I'm not ugly, for me that's enough.

To celebrate May, I'd like to share this wiener dog wallpaper with you guys! There are more where this come from, if you'd like to see some nice wallpaper content, I have the tweets for it right HERE and HERE! Anyway, I had some good moments in this post, some bad moments, such is life. I'm glad to be still writing on the blog! I'm almost at the 3 year anniversary of it! So wonderful! So yea, there is a chance of 70% that this Monday I'll write a new post, so see you then! And if not, see you soon enough, have a nice weekend, much love!
