In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

Song of the week! In which the author tells the reader some bedtime Stories

Good Afternoon of Friday to you, dear reader! How are you today? How are things going? As usual, I wish you the best! I'm so happy to have you here today on this song of the week Friday! As you know, I'm having a dream week, and the song we're seeing today of course is going to be related to that! We're having our known and dear (though only in our hearts, she's not too dear actually, and proud of not being a dear, but ANYWAY, LET'S SEPARATE THE PERSON'S PERSONAL LIFE AND BEHAVIOR FROM THE PERSON'S WORK PLEASE)  guest: MADONNA, so we can join her in her album BEDTIME STORIES, so we can have a BEDTIME STORY!


As you guys know, this very overlooked album by her is very close to my heart, the whole aesthetic of it fits me very well, with the pastel colors and subtle sounds and sleepy soft reference, definitely eye candy and ear candy as well! This song is absolutely fantastic, being very unique and inventive, as also is Madonna, no one can say she's not unique and inventive, she can pick everything, even saturated themes, and make them fresh and interesting, with no hint of Cliché or tacky, even if the "everything" in question includes cliché and tacky things. Anyway, it's a very soft and subtle song, with an R&B background and a relaxing, sensorial hypnotizing eletronic beat, one of the best pop songs I heard in the last 10 months, I can get tired of it sometimes, but I never 100% stop listening to it, it has it's safe spot in my mind! I think you might like it as well, cause who knows? Give it a chance if you want to, you're totally invited to do so! And if you want to look for it but don't have Spotify do not distress, I have the Youtube link to it right here!

I have another post coming today from a sketch I made because of a dream, but for now this is the end of this post! Thank you so much for being here, you're 100% the best and please do never doubt that! Let's close this post with the cover of Bedtime Stories, because wow what a fantastic cover
