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 I Return to the Airborne Kingdom!

Hello, dear friend, reader of this post! And good morning, what a great pleasure is to have you around! I always feel lazy before starting to type on the blog, sometimes writing on it, and after writing as well, I am a lazy person, but at moments I do enjoy writing, and I feel very accomplished after finishing a post... I don't know, just happy to wrap up one more, on these almost 4 years of blogging! Been a long while! It is weird the blog have been stuck around for so long, don't you think? As also have my habit of drawing... One step at a time, I'd say. How are you? How are things going? As for me, it is raining so much, which is wonderful as I love rain. I can see the winter approaching, and it makes me happy, as I love winter! I don't know, guys, everytime I play Europa Universalis, feels like the last time, but I have new ideas and so on, and then return to the game! My latest run was with Portugal, again, and it went well, and not so well. I had a very good empire, but also was at the verge of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is the worst thing that could happen to you in Europa, it means you completely depleted your resources and now you have to face the consequences of spending that much. Quite frustrating, really. So yea, I abandoned that playthrough, not sure what to do next... Just will probably eat something and listen to the rain falling. One of my paintings fell from the wall, I guess I haven't pinned the nail correctly. Really, I am not feeling like fixing this right now, probably is the rainy day, making me lazy, but then again sunny days also make me lazy, and sweaty, which I hate. I guess I'm just on the lazy side for most things.


Here's one thing that cheers me up! A lot of astronaut cats, playing music! So cool! It's my new shoulder bag, a nice acquisition. I wanted to get one because pockets are not that practical most of the time, and this makes them less needed. Plus, kittens are cute, kittens n space are amazing! Well, I think I wrote pretty much all I wanted for today's post, I was so out of ideas, so this is just an improv session! Thank you for being here, reader of this post, and I see you again real soon! So no worries!
