In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era. She brought flowers a...

In Which we say Hello to March!

Good morning to you, dear reader! And happy Friday, what a nice moment! And I know, this post was quite postponed, but here it is I'd also like to say: hello March! How is the month going so far for you guys? I'm sorry I didn't post this week overall, I got hit by some bad tidings concerning writing, because otherwise I'm quite okay! I changed the wallpaper on my phone and computer, changed my theme on Twitter, picked a song of the month for February, this is how I started the third part of 2021! A year that so far, for me, is being like a continuation of 2020, for good or for bad. Also, for me, things are going to have a new flavour, because I'm moving places, going to a better (I hope) apartment! The moving process is about to start, and you know the drill! Boxes, boxes, boxing... I finished my first game of Civ on the Emperor Level (level 6 of 8), was a challenge but I went well, I also had my first official failure in the same level, you can't avoid those in your progress journey... I hope to play some more Civ today, maybe some Anno as well, and perhaps break the mold a bit with some other game, such as Victoria II... I don't know, everytime I think of the ridiculous loading time for Anno 1800, I get really unmotivated, but well, one step at a time! I was checking on old family pictures yesterday with Grandma, as I went to visit her yesterday and will be staying here for a couple of days.. I love coming to visit grandma, such a joy! I was also checking on some products yesterday on the brazilian store filled with crazy funky products called Imaginarium, that I'd like to give a shoutout! You can check their stuff Here! It's so awesome! Here's an example of what I'm talking about, their cloud lamp! So nice! (also, here's a link to it)


I'm looking for these and other products for my bedroom! I have a lot of stuff I'd love to put in frames. There is a lot I want, I want new glasses, things for my bedroom, and so on, I also want a shave, more like I need a shave, because my beard is growing, but well, this is an issue I'll takle another time! In March, I want to keep on going, that's the main thing! I just put a lether chair in my bedroom at the house of my grandma, I quite like it, though it's a lot of preparation to properly sit on it. I'm testing it all over again, as the last time I used it was in the beginning of 2020! A whole year ago! Now I'm 1 year older, the chair is older, my computer is older, and so on... You guys know I love to jump from one thing to another, that's a flaw, not my style, but anyway, one step at a time. As I get more conscious of it, I will get it sorted, maybe organizing the blog in steps. Or maybe not, as this blog is like my notebook of ideas and thoughts, that I share with you guys, the readers, the friends that stuck by me, which I'm grateful! Anyway, I think for now my ideas are set, I should get on going, I'll play some videogames, hopefully it will be fine! I'll do some drawings as well, if I can, it will be fine! I will maybe vectorize a thing, hopefully it will be okay... in any case, love you guys! See you all real soon!
