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. Monday I was pretty melancholic, so this Tuesday I could go to the movies, for the first time since The Phoenician Scheme, which was a good excuse to get out of the house, though the movie disappointed.  I went to the movies, got my ice cream, then popcorn, and also bought a bottle of eau de toil...

In Which we have a whole bunch of stuff to do (or at least a whole list!)

Good morning, dear reader! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? How are you? How are things going? I am sorry I decided not to write this Saturday, I was wanting to relax a bit, not wanting to worry about anything, just Civ, really. I am back now, hope I can write a post or two this week. And speaking of me, This morning will be busy! My plans are: going to the store, so I can have my earbuds fixed, or at least get new ones, or anyway, just to have an answer to my issues with it, then I should get new earphones, because my current pair is broken in one of the sides. Thinking on the matter, can my earphones be fixed as well? I'm not sure, but that would be cool. Anyway, after that, I should get a haircut, and after the haircut, I should return to home, so I can enjoy my last day off college for the next 4 months or so! I woke up really early today, as I plan on playing some games before that, I have Age of Empires III in mind. I've been wanting to get into it for a bit, but without much success, due to the fact I fear of missing out on Discord/Twitch. Yea, addiction is a thing.


Wonderful painting by the artist Julian Onderdonk, a texan impressionistic painter, just the way I like it. This name is a big one, often called the Father of Texan Painting! Or at least it's what I read! My friend Darth, that I cherish so much and value his opinion as well, wouldn't like my posts because he would think it's just a bunch of disconnected sentences mended together. I accept his criticism, but I'm not sure if I'll change things around here, this is the Divagation Store, after all, I start thinking of one thing, end up on another totally different! I think that's cool, too.

Ravel's Bolero (Youtube)

Ravel's Bolero (Spotify)

I am reminded of a composition that I really appreciate, and that is the Ravel's Bolero! I like the compass of it, and its constancy, if that's a word. I am prone to make mistakes in language, unfortunately, specially because English is not my first one, that would be Portuguese, but well, I'm here to write and practice! I pray that you can understand me! I also wonder what should be my quote of the week, it's always something that makes me think on Mondays, it's cool to research on those! Anyway, I should now go do that, and finish editing this post! Thank you, dear reader, for reading this, means a lot! I appreciate you! And I see you real soon, may this soon be this week.
