In Which I am tired of Psychological Games

Good afternoon, my friend, how happy I am to see you and to finally write here on the blog, after some days where I was tired and quite drained. How are you? As for me, it has been okay, I trust, exhausting for the reasons I will talk soon, but okay. Grandma has made 82 years of age! And I was at her birthday luncheon yesterday and it was great! My aunt caused me a scare when she fell at the stairs of the gateway, but fortunately it was just a small hiccup. Not a hiccup is the main topic of today's blog post, we should dive in right away! Really, it seems like another round of exhausting events, these first weeks of January. The devil Maduro was captured by an astonishing operation by President Trump, that is probably the best moment of 2026. The venezuelan drama is not over, the leadership of the country is still very much communist, but their main executioner was taken out. The scale of this moment, however important, pales in comparison to Iran, though.  After decades of having ...

In Which we Wrap up February, the longest short month

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend! Happy almost Friday!! How are you, today? How are things? As for me, I am okay, and the day is going... so far, not too bad. I played a game called Old World, I believe I mentioned this one here, a long time ago, at this point. It has a new DLC, that I hope to try it out. I also did some Civ 6, because why not... for continuation, I hope I can play Anno 1404, maybe. Definitely something other than the treacherous Europa Universalis 4. I think the dollhouse will come with a new DLC today, but I decided to uninstall the game, as the new "feature" of the game I considered egregious. That feature may appear small - it is just a shopping car placed on the UI menu - but it speaks volumes over where the company is... I think adding ads, which is precisely what this is, to a game that you paid for, that is pretty shocking. I am aware Sims 4 is for free now, but for most of its cycle it was not. I hate the controversies and the manufactured drama around the dollhouse, so I simply deleted it from the machine, Sims 3 is far superior anyway, even if it also has some ad placement in the game. 

We are reaching the end of the short but long month of February! How was your set of 29 days? For me, it was better than January, thank God. As January was depressingly uninteresting, February had more going for it, such as the beginning of the course of History I am doing! Some new potential friendships, continuation to ones I made in January, such as dear Evan. Progress on reading as well, I finished the book on Maria Theresa. I also started a new book, that was suggested by a colleague on the history course group. I may write more on this one when I proceed on it. I worked on 11 drawings on those 28 days, may work on another one today, the 29th and last... Memory is not the most accurate way of telling how the month actually was, but since I am not particularly in a good mood right now, neither in a bad mood, more of a neutral sort, I can say with more fairness how it went.

To wrap it up today's post, what would be my plans for March? It will be the Easter month, and I don't have many plans for it. I just hope it is lesser hot and abrasive than the previous two miserable months we had, miserable on matter of weather and solar incidence. I hope to have motivation to draw, enthusiasm to game. I hope I can have good events, and more than enough money to pay bills... time and energy and desire to read, also. I want a haircut, as well. I will see if I can arrange this tomorrow, March the 1st. I also hope I can sleep well, and drink less coffee... and may I can chat with dear friends such as Johannes and Evan and Charles and Mr. Gottfried... I can only hope.

With that, a paragraph for the end of February, and one for March desires and hopes, I trust it is time to end today's publication. When should I be back here? I truly hope around Sunday, less likely Saturday... until then, I see you real soon, and wish you the best!
