In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

In Which I explore Crusader Kings 3

 Good evening, everyone! Happy Tuesday the 7th, it is the eve of my blog's anniversary! I apologize for not being around yesterday, I got a bit sidetracked, Tomorrow is a big day, and I wish to accomplish some things such as an art stream for the blog, at least an hour long. It unites the blog, streaming and drawings, so that's fun! Or at least those are the plans. I wasn't originally gonna write anything today, or I had plans, but I don't know if I'd be able to put them to use, because I'm not as disposed in the evenings, but come on, it is raining, it is June, so I'm going that extra mile today! How are you this Tuesday? It is not the most exciting day of the week, it's true, but everyday has potential to be wonderful, or at least good! And I believe my day was alright, overall! Just catching up with some stuff while I was sidetracked. These days, one of the things I did was try Crusader Kings 3 once again, it is not a game I'm good at, I mean, if there is any Paradox Game I'm good anyway, but CK is punishing in its own ways, specially because, as you play your character, when he dies, you play the heir to your estate, and I find hard to vibe with my heir most of the time, so used I am to the original founder of the Dynasty. Also, changing the inheritance rules of the county is really hard, because you gotta research the proper tech for it, and it really takes a long time in order to do so! All those intrisicate things in those games that lead to another and so on, very charming indeed! Speaking of Charming, the loading screens of the game are wonderful and I'd love to share one of them with you! I believe I've done so before, but with another CK scene, so anyway, let's jump to it!


Oh lovely camps of Europe, the ones that would haunt the europeans in the middle ages, and be chanted about during the romantic era, when, starting to become more sheltered from the perils of Nature, many looked in awe and nostalgia to the "good old days" when fashion was lovely, art was not degenerate and people were decent. I guess the idea of the "good old days" was present as much in the 19th century as it was now. I won't get in the merits of their reasons and my reasons to miss other time, but the people in the 19th century were still being served nice architecture and wonderful fashion, as in today's day, we have deconstrutivism and post-modernism everywhere, and that is... I mean, if I had to remove something from the world... I still wouldn't do it because one need to reach rock bottom to go up again (hopefully) but is the tentation there... wow. I think I'm proud of  myself, because I accomplished this blog post! I believe that's huge! It is almost 5pm and I wrote on the blog, I'm sitting in this uncomfortable chair, writing, doing something productive! I mean, I believe I should not look down upon my comfort moments, I guess sometimes you need them. I took some pictures of flowers today! I hope I may have the opportunity to show them on another post! As for now, it's just how the brain goes, the brain of someone who can't focus! Always getting sidetracked! Anyway, I guess I'll wrap this post here, always wonderful to be around, 3 years and 364 days and more than 550 posts! Wish you all the best! See you on another one, real real soon!
