In Which One Begins 2026 Business as Usual: Ora et Labora on the Unknown

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy  first day of January and 2026! Hope your last one of 2025 went fine? Do let me know! As for me, the beginning of 2026 was one where I slept through most of it, or at least did my try on napping, because the noise was great. I spent the firework moments at my grandma's apartment, but we did not see much of each other during that moment, she went downstairs for a small gathering with her neighbors, and the neighbors had an appaling taste in background music. I was tired and with not much patience for doing anything, so I retired to my own room here, and then went for the balcony to see the beautiful spectacle. In comparison to last year, it was much less "magical" so to speak, given I already knew the procedures from 2024-2025. I think for me it went business as usual for a special day, grandma was stressed out due to the food she had to take downstairs, I was abliged to help with some preparations, on my end, I...

In Which I have a renewed interest in Architecture?

Good morning, everyone, happy Thursday (now Friday), and I wish you the best! How are you today? How are things going? I'm okay, I'd say... one step at a time is all we can do. I believe I'm always achieving something nice when I wake up, or anyway, I just thought that out now, but it is based on the fact my therapist says I'm stable enough to start the process to stop therapy. That is not an achievement yet, but it is to be one hell of an achivement once I'm officially, for now, out of therapy, out of the need to be always analysed by a professional. I have issues, and I'll always have those, BUT, well, at least I'm stable enough not to snap. Sad, yes, but stable. How is the weather, where you are? Here, it is okay, I believe it rained at the evening, which is fine, but now the sun is shining. I just ate my breakfast, also, so that's nice, and I was having an impulse to think about doing a stream, but I don't really want to get disappointed, if I start a stream now, no one would be around to hang out with me... I'd be miserable and alone, even if I have more energy in the (early) morning.
As I said on the title, I believe I've been having a growing interest in architecture. I guess it never really went away, just got dormant because of the miserable moments of college. It's more an interest in classical architecture, because that's the one type I'm seeing on the algorythm when I open social media. Just connecting somehow with others that dislike contemporary aesthetics, and are more keen on the beauty of the world of classical architecture and high arts. It can't say classical is merely a style, it goes beyond that, but well, of all those architectonic things, classical world is not necessarily my favorite, I'm more keen on Rococo of central-Eastern Europe, I'd say I like baroque as well, but mostly its child, that is rococo, also known as Late Baroque, though I am not fond on this term, at all. I cant say I dislike classical works, quite the opposite, but... the works done during-after the french revolution don't please me. I am reminded of the Pantheon in Paris. It feels so... rigid, so colorless... I do like it, the beautiful dome, the portico, but just what was done with it during that fatidic event that was the french revolution. Painters like Jean Jacques David don't suit my taste, either. Late 18th century is just so somber in many places, what started as valid thinking became radical insanity, that reproduced on later years to become the destroyer of worlds.
And today, of course we couldn't stay without our best of Instagram of the day! It is this lovely doggo I found at the variety store once! This picture comes from June 2018, which I believe was a creative period of my life, one that resulted on this blog, for example! It is both fun and proper, I'd say, at least my untrained eye would tell me that, and if this is kitsch for you, Mr. Scruton, than I'm sorry, but I rather have this dog than any other thing. Well, this productive post is getting big, don't you think? I certainly think so. I'll start the process of ending the post right now, and by that I mean just wishing you the best, yet again, offering you my wishes of a happy day, and a wonderful weekend! And may we see each other again real real soon, hopefully in this very weekend, though I can't promise that. Like I said, see you again real real real soon, I don't like saying bye, goodbye, farewell, because I'm not going anywhere!
