In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they? I say this as a person that lo...

In which we say Farewell to January, month of unquiet stability

Hello, my friend! First of all, I want to wish you a good morning, and a happy Sunday! How are you today? As for me, I am back home after spending some days at my grandma’s! Writing once again through the phone, just to make my resting time more productive. I was sat in my chair, playing games, and decided that I needed some time to rest my back, so here I am, back in bed! When I return to the workstation, maybe I’ll do a drawing, though I am not sure. 
January was a long month for me, each week felt like a month of its own. It was productive, as I read a lot, specially after getting the kindle, and I made some drawings, though more than once I ended up not drawing instead. What I didn’t draw, I read. One thing does not negate the other, but anyway. I went to the dentist, and put a provisory tooth in the place of the hole it was there since the accident, so that is indeed good! On the terms of getting my budget less of a mess, I failed so far, but there is always the next month to make things in a lesser sorry state, and I hope I may do it. I pray that the shoes I got this month may arrive soon (and they did!) and that they may be of good quality (they seem pretty solid to me). Otherwise I’ll be very angry of having spent the money on them. 
I will admit, there is a lot in my head I’d love to write about, that is not always the case, but for this Sunday, very much true. The reason I don’t start talking at once about what is on my head, is that this post is dedicated to January end balance! I don’t want to talk about the book I’m reading just yet, or the expectations for February at this point. But also, what else is there to say about January, as it was a month of weird stability. That I recall, at the moment, besides some conflicts with mom, money issues, people telling me I’ll drop dead because I’m too fat… those are given. Nothing out of the ordinary, good or bad. It is kinda sad, even, reason why I love videogames, they bring so much flavor to a life that can be bland at times. And the same is true with drawing, music, and books. I really hope I can save the other subjects I have in my head for another post, or number of posts, though I can’t be sure if I’ll still will be in the mood to write about it when I return.


Some lovely macarons to wrap up January and also today's post! Found those on Pinterest!
So, I started writing the post yesterday, but I'm wrapping it up today, at the 30th! I should be back on the 1st of February to write a bit more on what to expect for the month and so on... Hopefully it will be a nice month, with good mild weather, we shall see... maybe I could journal a bit more... It is good to see your thoughts in front of you. Wish you the best, see you again real real real real soon! Preferably on the 1st of February!
