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.

In Which we have a Happy November!

Good morning, everyone! Happy November, as I said on the title of this post, happy Monday, and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are things? How was the weekend and how was the Halloween? Hope those went fine and chill! And how is the weather? Here, it is hot, as Summer is more and more present, I'd much rather have the wonderful melting pot of Autumn and Winter that many have in the North, just in time for wonderful Christmas season, that begins! We also have the Thanksgiving season with the Christmas season! How wonderful indeed! Soon the Christmas Decorations will be up! And I should do some art for this Christmas, and in that regard, again I have promising news on my proper desk, that should maybe arrive within the next week or so! With that, I'll be able to draw! Meanwhile, I should do some Illustrator work as well!

Any plans for November? I don't have much, just will go one day at a time, and will try to find ways of enjoying myself, as the school year comes to a close, also. There are two projects to do for college, and I'm not too sure how those will go. The games I'll play probably won't be Age of Empires 4 at this moment, either City Skylines. I requested a refund on both, as Age of Empires 4 is too heavy on my machine so far, I do need to boost my ram. As for CS, as a city builder, it just fails to capture my attention... Maybe in the future I'll try AOE4 again, in a more comfortable position, as that game is expensive and demanding. I don't like how it is priced, feels like they're pushing for XBox GamePass, and I already am subscribed to way too many services, and at the end of the day I just rather own my stuff when it comes to games. I wonder if they'll approve my refund on CS, I hope so.


Hopefully it will be a good month, a month to say thanks and to celebrate nice moments! I feel bad that I don't have much more to say here on the post than this, sometimes I'm more inspired than on other days... Here! I posted one of the chosen wallpapers for the month of November! It is a lovely sugar snowman! How cool is that? Feel free to get it and use it yourself! As for the posts of this November, I hope many may come! Or at least to keep the blog updated with nice things! Well, I wish you the best, like I said, and hope to see you again real soon! Much Love, my friend!!!
