In Which I go to town to see Marty Supreme: quite a movie!

Good morning, my dear friend, dear reader of this post, you fine lady, you fine gentleman! Cheers! How are you? Hope you are okay? It has been a week that went by faster than one would expect! I was wanting to write a post earlier than now, and I had a draft, but it was getting too big, and too many threads of thinking going into it, and it would be far out of the scope of a blog post to cover all that I was loosely writing about, it was too big and tiresome to read, too hard to find a finishing line, so I did what I don't usually do and scrapped the whole post, not an easy nor a decision I took lightly, but it was needed, or else the post would just keep dragging on. That said, I am okay.

Art of the week! In which we talk about the Man in a turban!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday to you! Good morning and happy Friday! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope the day is going well!! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot and calm, I am not a fan of hot weather, of course, BUT well it is what it is, I got the fans on where I am, so I don't sweat too much, and I'm enjoying what is left of the cold AC feel from when I was sleeping, I'm still debating if I should return home after lunch or after dinner, and lunch is about to be ready so this should be a decision I would need to make soon! And as I write what happens to me as it happens, I decided to go away just after dinner time, or after I shave, still deciding again, decisions decisions... I need to draw something but I don't feel like it, and talking about it I have a wonderful painting to show to you guys, let's take a look at it!


This marvelous work was made by an artist that I like, the russian Ilya Repin, I do love this work by him, he does beautiful paintings, very talented indeed! I love the fashion of this man, wearing a nice turban he does! Took me far too long to finish this post as I was watching a walkthrough of Anno 1404, a game I plan on returning to soon, and this is it for today, sorry for the delay, thank you so much for being here, you are the best, see you again soon!
