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 go Back to the drawing board with the Byzantine Dream

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Friday, and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are things? As for me, I am okay, I’d say… one step at a time, it is all we can do, in the end. I really hope I can work on a drawing, maybe, today? I don’t like to whine in my blog posts, don’t like that in the slightest. I feel like I am wasting your time when I do it. It is a balance I am yet to feel like I struck. There are things that trouble me, and this is my blog, but I care for you, and worry I may be wearing your patience thin. Why do I always think friends are so unforgiving? Perhaps because I can be in such way?
I was playing some Europa Universalis this early morning, the game was going well… till it stopped going my way. It sucks immensely. The game does not have to be a cakewalk, but having three major nations on my throat at the same time? I HATE that I return to the game once I am back to the computer, this time I will make an extra effort not to do it, I can perhaps play something else instead…? Or work on a drawing? As for studying, it does not help I never feel like I am going somewhere with it. I end up neglecting and forgetting my studying responsibilities. I don’t even know if I’m capable of making it work. It is very demoralizing, how hard things can be. Speaking of hard… I need to vent this somewhere… my credit card bills are through the roof and I am not sure how I will be able to pay them off. It will take a miracle. This is the sort of whining I talk that I regret and worry it hurts me and you. But this have to go out somewhere, or else I am going to explode!!!! I suppose I could just post this post just for the sake of it and won’t tell people it exists, it will be forgotten, just as a desperate cry of someone that feels his life is going badly.
