In Which the fields turn to Magenta

Good evening, my dear friend, jolly reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday! How are you? Hope you have been okay so far? I am okay... it has been quite an exhausting couple of days, as I have been following the situation in Iran more closely than I'd like, as it turns out. I am not sure how to proceed, even, the news are quite depressing. They talk of dozen thousands slaughtered, and the count grows by the minute. I thought the islamic regime would not take too long to fall, and though in retrospect that may be it, given there has been, in reality, less than a month since the height of the protests began, still, in two days or so, the devil Khomenei has been responsible for 12 thousand dead or so. One can expect that regimes with messianic complex, and gnostic at that too, would be capable of evil deeds, given they would always have the sanction to do so in their twisted minds.

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!
