In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they?

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
