In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In Which I am Moved by The music composed by Gabriel Faure

Good evening, dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Friday, I wish you the best! How are you, today? How are things? I am doing okay! Just waking up, overall! This Thursday was not the most productive one, this will be fixed today, so I hope. I really wish I could draw. For that to happen, though, I'd have to be less fatigued. My brain less foggy. Why does it feel like that? Most likely I drank too much coffee... I really should consider cutting a bit on it, once again. I tried to cut it last year, but to little avail, it did not help I thought the more I drank the more I would be creative and disposed. I supposed less is more, after all, on this matter. Also, to not immediately fall asleep once more, I put a very cold towell on my face. My friend recommended me this. Did it work? I can only say I did not fall asleep, after all...



On other talks, I today listened once again to my most amazing and favorite composer, the french Gabriel Faure. I must say, it was like I was listening to him for the first time, all over. I started with his piece on Pelleas et Melisande, called Sicilienne, but what truly shook me this time was his work called Pavanne. I am not sure if it is the audio, if it was the moment, but I could hear it so well, and I was deeply moved by it, like I said, as if listening to it for the first time, once again... I trust I mentioned Gabriel Faure before on this blog. He is the best, my favorite composer. I think Claude Debussy may also be one of my favorites, they both are french which is a coincidence! The piece by Claude Debussy called La Mer: l'aube a midi sur la mer (From the dawn till noon at the sea)... how appropriate that it is a song about being at the sea, as it is a place I've been next to for so long in my life, at different beaches... the city I live is by the sea, so was my childhood house... so was my place of summer vacation... Debussy makes me like the sea more than being next to it ever could, I guess. True and proper music can do that! 

What else will I do, today? I am hungry, hopefully lunch will be up soon. I may return to my apartment after spending some days in the house of my grandma. She is about to move out from here, some months from now. That would be a weird experience, because this is a house I've been in and out for 25 years or so! One of my favorite places, and soon it will be no more. That is sad. I guess things in life have a moment to end. Things have been ending, lesser things come in its place, such is decay, such is my life. Something appealing about melancholy, and this narrative, though not entirely so. Life is more than that. More than the year of 2012, when I had the best year of my teenage time. 11 years ago! Why at moments I feel stuck in the worst year of my life, 2014? Trauma? Loneliness?... I am not sure. 

I have been meaning to write a post here yesterday, but as I said, I was tired, so it was not productive. I am happy I could write this today, though! When should I be back, as I am wrapping things up hopefully this paragraph? I may return Sunday, or next week. Since February is soon to end, I will have a post to wrap up the month, at some point between Wednesday and Thursday, God willing. For now, though, I bid you farewell, wish you the best! See you again real soon!
