In Which Life is not SimCity: Washington Square and the Austrian Connection

Good morning, dear friend! Here I return with some more thoughts and ideas about urban planning and so on. I tend to avoid writing so much all at once, but it cannot be helped as I had this idea in mind, I would love to share! Of course, I want first to ask how are you, how are things? As for me, I am a bit fatigued, but not too bad. I pray and hope today can be productive, I want to make some effort and go deliver some documents at the school and hopefully I may find if I can have an internship or not. The weather is miserable, summer ends with a strong and unbearable moist heat, the worst kind. Hope you are havinf a better temperature time today. With that being said, would love to explore this thought I had, as follows: I think I could have mentioned before, I am reading this excellent book by the writer Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities, and it got me thinking that simulation games have really little to do with real life, have they? I say this as a person that lo...

In Which we say Goodbye to September! Dinner at the Furniture Store

Hey guys! Can you believe the month of September is coming to an end, it indeed passed by fast! How are you this end of season, beginning of another? How are things going? How is the weather? Today, I'd like to wrap things up in September by telling a bit of a small era of my life that I remember kindly! So, let's jump to it, shall we?



There was a nice time in my life, I'd put it between October 2017 and February 2018, one that I like to call Dinner at the Furniture store, due to the amount of times I'd go there with my dad after my afternoon classes, when I was doing architecture. The name is a reference to a movie I like, a classic of the 60's "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (to be fair never was too much a fan of the movie, found it to be a bit slow, but I do like the wonderful soundtrack of it, composed by Henry Mancini). I was watching shows such as the original Gossip Girl back then, and those had a very important impact in my life and music tastes. I was becoming a fan of that guy named Charlie Puth, George Ezra also, I got a bit disappointed in Door Monster, and after the huge Door Monster Revival of 2017, it never really recovered from a live they did where I felt ignored. I was never a huge fanboy anymore like I was in 2017, though I still follow the channel, and still think Kyle is awesome. Was a time where I took my first set of pictures of the succulents of my Aunt, was an awesome photographic safari! Anyway, that furniture store is a glittering world filled with beautiful decor and porcelain, and wonderful dining sets and living room sets, and in October we could see the wonderful Christmas decoration already, I absolutely love Christmas! Such a happy time of the year, lots of great decoration, joyfulness, nice music and wonderful memories. The Christmas of 2017 was indeed special, the vacations were great, and in December 2017 I created my Twitch account to follow a guy I was a fan back then, the rest is history, one that lead to this blog, even! I think to wrap things up, Dinner at the furniture store was an era of friends, sophistication, Architecture stuff, and so on, a nice way to wrap 2017 up. And in December of 2017, again, I got a new phone! The one I'm currently using! I know, I could use a new one! But one step at a time.
Anyway, what to expect for this month of October? I don't know, but I am excited for Windows 11, for one, and also mildly excited for the new Sims kits coming, though my expenses are up, now that I will be subscribing to Adobe services for my graphic design stuff, another thing to expect is perhaps more vectors and stuff on Illustrator or Photoshop, and so on! I'm sure it will be a nice Halloween month, just hope it doesn't get too hot here in the tropics, as summer is approaching! So, the post is getting a bit big, so I would like to wrap things up by wishing you the best! Thank you for being here, and rejoice, as Christmas is coming! I have a lot of cool stuff to work on, and hopefully it will be okay. See you all real soon!
