In Which I read the Romantic Manifesto, by Mrs. Rand

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, how are you? How was the rest of your week? I hope you are well, and the week went as planned? How is the weather? Here, the weather is pleasant, it is characteristic of this time of year for the weather to be as such, it is the season of colder winds and some rain, which I appreciate. Not as much rain this July, so far, as on the winter of 2017, which I think was quite rainy, but well. I am tired, feels like I am always tired these days, even if I don't want to sleep all the time.  Apart from tired, I am okay, I'd say. Not much else to say besides some moments where loneliness gets more pronounced. I wish I could meet some online friend someday, I am fond of them all! Apart from that, I am reading a brilliant book by Mrs. Rand, whom I am so fond of. It is the Romantic Manifesto, and it gives voice to my fatigue of tropes in popular media. It is such a wonderful descriptive work on what is art, what is romant...

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!
