Highlighted Quotes That Caught my Attention At The Moment

“The great majority of people will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and some day suddenly wake up and discover why.” – “On Christmas,” Generally Speaking

In Which we have Mods for Civ 5 and the Age of Giants

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday! How are you, this first third of the week? As for me, I am okay, virtually better from the flu, thank Goodness. I had therapy yesterday, and it went very well, though I had to do it online. The reason for this move is the fact I am facing financial hardships once more. You think, after paying your dues, that you will be free from any future spenditure. Ah, not quite. Life moves on, and so does the bills. You have groceries to get, one and other amenity to purchase, and sometimes slicing the prices into smaller sizes in the end bites you in the back. The situation is not as bad as before my birthday, but I am in a scale from greeb to red, on a yellow. Christmas and cats! What is not to love? The past few days saw me trying some Civ 5 once more, and with some mods, which I was not too keen about some years ago. I stumble upon quite a big one, the Vox Populi community patch, and I have been getting myself familiar wirh it ever s

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!
