In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means. No. Jus...

In Which I finish the AEIOU mission tree part for Austria!

Hey there, friend! Good morning, how are you? I'm... okay, I'd say, it were a very exhausting couple of days, mentally, reason why I didn't update the blog. Today I don't think I have much to say, I mean, I could talk about college and how frustrating it all has been, could mention I haven't been drawing much, either, but anyway, like a new friend says "don't force yourself too much" and I don't plan on doing it. Nah, none of those things make me wanna write it here, or anywhere, for that matter. Again, I've been playing a lot of Europa Universalis, this time as Austria, where I managed to do the AEIOU on the mission tree for them, which was my goal! I mean, my goal was to get the achievement of the same name on Steam, BUT that I don't think I'll manage to do so, at this point, as Austria really is not the best colonial nation, and the mission has a part in which you have to adventure yourself in India, China and Australia! To be fair, I managed to complete I'd say 65% of the tree, so I'm pretty proud of myself already! Maybe I could play something else, next? I don't know, I was playing some AOE3 some days ago, could always revisit it. Maybe some Anno as well? I could just look on my steam library for something... There is an expansion coming for The Sims soon, yea, ANOTHER ONE, one of the two thousands out there. This one is focused on the teenage years. I guesss could be fun, specially for those looking to live the High School life. I don't know if I'll get it straight away, I've been spending very loosely the past months, I want a bit more austerity in expenditure and balance the budget better, I'm worried that my main credit card increased my limit, and that can invite me to make myself more financially fragile. Well, speaking of finances, here's my best of Instagram for today!


This one is an old one, back in July-August 2015, I believe, when I was doing a painting course, it was really nice, I believe I mentioned this course a couple times here on the blog, too! It's a reproduction of Amaryllis (that I'm probably writing wrong) by Piet Mondrian, a painter more famous for his geometric paintings. I mean, Mr. Mondrian has some pleasant works, but I really dislike his movement, I say I can see some value in it, without endorsing it, which I don't, at all.
I believe this post is getting too big, so I should finish it soon. I'm pretty happy with it, considering I wasn't expecting to write as much as I did! And again, thank you for being here, dear reader, you are the bestenerino! See you again real real REAL real soon!
