Quote of the moment Vol.2

In Which December flies in the sky with Santa Claus and the Reindeers!

Hello, my friend, reader of this present post, maybe past ones as well, perhaps future ones too. How are you, this new week? Another one for the height of the most beautiful season! How is the christmas going? For me, it is quite tranquil, I don't want to lament much. I do have some bad moments, for example, as I mentioned on the other post, when Sims 3 broke on me, and took me a week to figure out what was causing such issues. I have great news, concerning that! I figured it out: it was OneDrive! I understand better why so many have Windows 11 fatigue, though I resist to share of the sentiment. It did bother me that I was facing the OneDrive overreach issues, but once they were solved, I could resume my Sims 3 shenanigans. Of course, as I mentioned before, I was even committed to take a break from the game. Though such commitment is not necessary, nor justifiable anymore, neither is respectful towards all my hard work on figuring out the issues, an era ended with Sims 3, but anoth...

In Which I wonder what will be my next reading

Good morning to you, my friend, dear reader of this post! How are you, today? How are things, in the dawn of the weekend? How is the weather? Here it is cloudy, which is always good news for me that likes rain and fresher days. As for me, I am… ah, I am at the edge of being okay. The mood is stably going up once again, after taking a massive hit yesterday, specially due to college, but also due to having to live in a zoned, modernist planned, city, grey, battered, unremarkable to say the kindest possible thing about it. Commuting through it is a nightmare. The “landscape” is horrid. And at my destination, more crap awaited me, taking form of the post modernist canon, which I despise and wish I could declare war upon, to see it wiped from the face of the earth. I can’t do it, though, not only I can’t do it by myself, I have no stomach for a war of such magnitude. It has nothing to do with me, as much as I despise… ah, I hate to even mention it, you know, the disgusting gender ideology, critical race theory, the idea that there are no truths, and multiculturalism, I hate those all, very very much. It does not stop there, but I don’t desire to spend the whole day on this sterile topic, the stealer of souls and the death of thinking, as it was designed to be, by its forebears at Frankfurt and the dark side of Paris. So… apart from those woes, I still miss my favorite person, my dear friend, very much so. I pray that someday we’ll have the opportunity to message each other again, that he may have time for some convos with his old friend, here. That is what I dream of these days. Again, my lamentations, tears and despair demanded me to take it easy once again. It is not something I prefer on doing, over something more productive, but well… the day went through and it was not the most productive, it was not a day to be productive, it was a day to be survived. 




I miss dear Lady Thatcher, after finishing her masterpiece of biography, I am a bit on a crossroads when it comes to reading, on the sense of I don’t know yet what to start. I did begin reading on Nicholas Romanov and Alix of Hesse once again, maybe it is the path forward, as I always enjoy my Nicky. I remember when I was reading the book Nicholas and Alexandra, by the most excellent historian Robert K. Massie. It was such a beautiful and tragic story. It is most painful to read about the last days of the beautiful Russian Empire, knowing what would happen in 1917. I still love Nicholas, but at the time, I was even more ardent about my loyalty to him. I even dreamt that I’d have an audience with the Gosudar, and I’d beg him to get rid of Rasputin, for example. I know that would be most unproductive, as that weird but noticeable man was the only thing keeping Alexei’s disease into check, and therefore keeping Alexandra’s grief and depression into somewhat check. Alexandra, the most tragic figure of the story, could not even manage to keep herself afloat on some days of more pain. She would spend most moments in bed, that when she was not taking care of beloved Alexei. Robert did understand her grief, as his own children was also suffering from Hemophilia. And I came to understand that, too, later on, as the medicine of grandpa turned him hemophiliac as well, the same medicine that kept him mostly afloat also had nasty side effects. It is a story that would not have a happy ending. So we… we endure, somehow, somehow.
Reading what I have written, I might as well indeed continue reading this new biography I got. I should write more on this, when I confirm my first prejudice of this book as being great. I do hope this gut feeling I have turns out to be right. What else is there to be said? I played some more Anno 1800 today, and I have been having a nice time with it, as it is a most pleasant enjoyable game. I hope to play it some more later, real soon, even today. I also would love to finish a drawing I’m working on, maybe it will be a nice drawing overall, when it is finished! I do believe today’s post is nothing special, but we ought to have some of those from time to time, just me writing about my routine!
It is a good point to wrap up today’s writing, is it not? It has been a better day than yesterday so far, and my mood is good! When shall I see you again? Hopefully sooner than Thursday of next week! Perhaps by Tuesday, there will be a new post, though I cannot promise much, at all. Cheers to you, always, and I see you again real real real soon!!!
