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 I Return to the Airborne Kingdom!

Hello, dear friend, reader of this post! And good morning, what a great pleasure is to have you around! I always feel lazy before starting to type on the blog, sometimes writing on it, and after writing as well, I am a lazy person, but at moments I do enjoy writing, and I feel very accomplished after finishing a post... I don't know, just happy to wrap up one more, on these almost 4 years of blogging! Been a long while! It is weird the blog have been stuck around for so long, don't you think? As also have my habit of drawing... One step at a time, I'd say. How are you? How are things going? As for me, it is raining so much, which is wonderful as I love rain. I can see the winter approaching, and it makes me happy, as I love winter! I don't know, guys, everytime I play Europa Universalis, feels like the last time, but I have new ideas and so on, and then return to the game! My latest run was with Portugal, again, and it went well, and not so well. I had a very good empire, but also was at the verge of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is the worst thing that could happen to you in Europa, it means you completely depleted your resources and now you have to face the consequences of spending that much. Quite frustrating, really. So yea, I abandoned that playthrough, not sure what to do next... Just will probably eat something and listen to the rain falling. One of my paintings fell from the wall, I guess I haven't pinned the nail correctly. Really, I am not feeling like fixing this right now, probably is the rainy day, making me lazy, but then again sunny days also make me lazy, and sweaty, which I hate. I guess I'm just on the lazy side for most things.


Here's one thing that cheers me up! A lot of astronaut cats, playing music! So cool! It's my new shoulder bag, a nice acquisition. I wanted to get one because pockets are not that practical most of the time, and this makes them less needed. Plus, kittens are cute, kittens n space are amazing! Well, I think I wrote pretty much all I wanted for today's post, I was so out of ideas, so this is just an improv session! Thank you for being here, reader of this post, and I see you again real soon! So no worries!
