In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In which we talk about a great Christmas Special!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday to you and good evening as well! Also happy December and happy Christma season!! How are you today, how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, hope you're having a nice day indeed! As for me, today was a calm day! I could've done more, and I didn't progress much on my studies today, since I have a test tomorrow, but anyway, I hope I got this... The weather was hot, as usual, but well, it's Christmas season, so, yea! I also talked to some friends, and that was amazing too! Hope Sunday may be more productive, I want to sketch something. Of course, I wanted to have made this post sooner, but I'm kind of enjoying writing on the night, though I prefer doing it during the day, anyway... Today there's a very special Christmas special I'd love to talk about! A Very Murray Christmas!!


When I heard Sofia Coppola was doing a christmas special for Netflix, I got so excited to see it! When I finally got to watch it, back on the Christmas of 2015, as I was expecting, I loved it so much! It became a Christmas tradition of mine ever since, to watch this amazing special on every season! In fact, I appreciated it so much I even watch it "out of season", and I have put the sentence like that because for me Christmas is all year, but anyway, this show has a killer cast, with Bill Murray at the center of it all, but also Rashida Jones, Jason Schwartzman, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Paul Shaffer, and some really interesting appearances thoughout the show, such as Michael Cera, Miley Cyrus, George Clooney, Chris Rock, and the list goes on! Indeed is quite a spectacle!
The plot is quite simple, and it patch small stories as it goes on, starting on a Christmas special Bill Murray has to do, but is very reluctant on doing so, and so it goes from there! 
This special is very pleasant and nice to watch! It passes fast and at least made me wanting to rewatch and see it more when it's over! Lots of wonderful songs in it, even more forgotten Christmas ones, which is always amazing to see it back, I loved all the songs and the people singing it did it beautifully, it's lovely and smart, I definitely appreciated it a lot! It also made me recognize the talent of Miley! I use to ignore her, specially after her career took the path it took in 2013 and so on, but seeing her appearance on the show, it really made me at least recognize that she's a great singer, and today I really appreciate her and listen to some of her songs! And I also like her as a coach on The Voice! 
The Aesthetics of it is smart, really feels like New York, and it really has the director touch in it, which is refreshing! I really adore the work by Sofia, my favorite movie, Marie Antoinette, was made by her, and I felt all of this on the special, and I loved it! And of course, Bill Murray is just amazing, he's an actor that truly makes me want to see a movie just because he's in it! 
And for today this very nice and eyecandy Christmas Special is what we have! If you feel like it, give it a chance and you might like it too! Thank you so much for reading this post, you're really the best, dear reader, and I always appreciate your presence a lot! See you next time!
