In Which I wonder about Civ and its many facets

Good morning dear friend, happy Monday! April continues and so does the rains that will keep cooling the soil for a close to arrive winter. As the temperature will go down, so I pray, hopefully the insects will finally go away. I detest them and no matter how much I clean my desk, there they are again, with their wings getting detached as they are on their mating season. Nothing I detest more than their dirt and dust. I am counting the seconds for June, and the coming of May, even! I love the relatively colder days of this time of year, whwre I can wrap myself in blankets, never feeling sweat. What a bliss! How are you? How was your weekend? As for me, I am okay, thank Goodness. I am alive and overall okay. Just feeling a bit dizzy on the legs for some reason, a feeling I dislike quite a bit. Apart from the woes of the legs, I think of the previous post, where I mentioned Civ's issue with the mod I am using, Vox Populi. I am still not entirely done with this entry, but I am thinkin...

In which we talk about the fact that I need glasses

Hello dear reader! Hope you are having a good day, and I wish you the best, of course! How is the weather where you are? Here it is hot but well fortunately I got a fan, unfortunately if I move distant to the fan it gets very uncomfortable really fast haha, it is a drama, let me tell you that, the sky is blue, no clouds in it, those days make me happy to be in an unexposed place. I'm thinking about my plants, I should water them next week if I may, I think the last time I gave them water was at January 2nd if I'm not mistaken, I used to give them water weekly but some of them were dying because of it, so here we go on our new routine! I also need some glasses as well, not asap as I was gonna type, but in the future new glasses would be nice indeed, as I can see with them much better than without them. I have a couple of fake glasses I use when I stream cause they're cute, they have a teddy bear in them, it is so beautiful I cry everytime I see it! Okay I don't cry, but you guys get me, it is cute, and I love how cute it is! But those glasses won't solve my astigmatism at all, as they don't have lenses in them, unfortunately, well changing subjects, I have a beautiful scenario to share with you guys! Let's jump into it before I talk too much haha! Let's resume our conversation after this:


This beautiful set was made for the 1909 opera The Golden Cockerel, by an artist named Ivan Bilibin, and I believe I already wrote about him here at the blog, a while ago, he was a fan of the slavic style, making his art a strong representation of it, he had a very busy life after the October Revolution in Russia, but eventually he returned to the country, only to die there in 1942, when St. Petersburg was being sacked by Nazi Germany, which is a shockingly tragic end for someone who made so many beautiful pieces of art! I woke up at like 6AM today, but I only really got up of bed at like 10AM, only to return to it, getting up again at 12AM for lunch and returning to it until almost now... This is my day so far! And this amazing art and my not so amazing day is what I have to offer to you today dear reader, you are incredible and thank you ever so much for being here, means a lot! See you next time on the next post hopefully!
