In Which the much waited DLC for Victoria 3 comes out!

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Thursday! How are you and how was your week so far? How is the weather? As for me, I cannot deny it was a week with a great event, new DLC for Victoria 3 being released. The game, that I haven't touched much since May, was quickly revived by this new content. More on that, further on the this blog entry. I am overall okay, some ups and downs, I suppose it happens. At least I managed to sleep more reasonably Wednesday night, it has been rare for me to rest as much when I am supposed to do it, so that is a good achievement! The weather has been pleasant as well, cheers to that, I love Winter! How June is going by fast, at this point. Soon, it will be over. I already should plan on my Wrap up post of the month, so we can start July in a good way... one month closer to my birthday. I still hope I can switch phones, somehow, but financial troubles still haunt me. I did spend more in June than I was expecting, way more than I should, mu

In Which I Pick up a new book to read!

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post, and I wish you the best! How are you? How are things? As for me, I’ve been a bit down, but those were the other days, today fortunately I’m okay! Just needed the rest, I guess. Rest from the worries and the sadness of missing the dearest of friends. I will add I hope we may chat real soon. But well, today I woke up fine, I played some games such as Age of Empires and also Anno 1800, and I hope the rest of the day I may play some more or other games. It is one of the advantages of waking up early, you can do so much and there is even some space for more things. I am glad to be writing, this is my… I lost account of how many times have I tried to write a post. Yesterday I almost made it, but it was such a sad and lamentation-driven post I decided I did not want to publish it, or to even keep it. Ah… I just don’t think it’s worth it. My therapist would like to see it, but not me. Are the troubles gone? They never will be gone. When one extinguishes, others take its place. Financial difficulties, I am so much in debt atm, which is a huge issue. I hope I can pay some of it, and I hope mother doesn’t pressure me to do it faster than I can do. Besides that, you know, I long for talking with dearest of friends, Johannes… and I am lonely and sad. With little hope to make new friends atm. But well… moving along, fortunately, and I don’t take those for granted, I am in a good disposition day, so, even with troubles, I can move along somehow… At least I can write some more than lamentations…


Lovely blue sky with some editing, adjustments and a granulate filter, done in Adobe Lightroom. Now, let’s talk about reading…

I started reading a new book, yesterday, after struggling on what to read next, after finishing the book on Ancient Egypt. I was going to read, afterwards, one of Roger Scruton, about the fools, frauds and firebrands that are the ghastly thinkers of the new left. It started okay, but I decided Sir Scruton gives too much consideration to people that are… well… fools, frauds and firebrands. Also, after confirming that Scruton is more of a platonian, rather than an aristotelian, which means, he also takes Kant into consideration, I decided to be lesser blindly trusting of him. Ayn Rand and the Cave of Apelles always have warned me against Plato and Kant. Both are poison. The early Christians followed more of a Platonian view, look at the artistic null that was the very early middle ages. When they shifted to Aristotle, it made things start to recover. Kant is basically the founder of modernism, and so he has a destructive legacy. I was very hurt that Scruton was writing about the very wrong ideas of Hobsbawm, the evil historian that ruined my teenage years, because it made socialism such more common in teaching. I hate him and hope he burns in hell with all my teachers, when the time comes for them. Anyway… I don’t have the patience to read this book by Scruton, now. So I shifted back to 18th century, after days of not having any reading book at my disposal. I settled with the Memoirs of Louise Elisabeth Vigee Lebrun, for now, though I am open for suggestions! Already asked dearest of friends if he has any other to give me. But I also think I’ll be proceeding with Vigee’s account, I am very fond of her documentary, so I am sure the book will be even richer. 

What else is there to be said, save for thank you for being here, dear reader of this post, my friend! Is this a good point to wrap things up? I suppose it is! And when will I be back? If coffee helps me, hopefully at some point next week, soon! Until then, and don’t worry, as I will be back here real real real real soon! Cheers and happy Sunday Funday!
