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 hope to escape the week of mental trouble

I wasn't able to sleep for two nights straight, and to avoid not being able to sleep a third night, I decided to take a medicine to relax the muscle tissues, so that would make me sleepy. Fortunately it worked, well... way more than I would like, even, as through the morning I could barely open my eyes. I didn't want to sleep anymore for the day, though, so I just stood there in bed, trying to keep myself awake... Hopefully today I won't need any sleeping pill for the evening. I pray that today may be lesser bad than yesterday was. At least, hope I can draw something nice, maybe... Though I won't necessarily hold my breath. We'll see the final balance as the day go. I think I mentioned past week was just terrible for me, I was in an awful mental position, feeling sad, frustrated and desolate, in need of a friend. I pray that this new week may be lesser bad, will try to at least get some games going and not to think much of college for the day being, though I should return to the activities at some point...
This week my blog will be five years old, how crazy is that? I wonder how to celebrate such an occasion... I was thinking about reworking on an old story I wrote here, I read some drafts of it here on the blog, I am not too satisfied with it anymore, which is not necessarily a big surprise, I wrote that one when I was 5 years younger. Crazy how things go... likely I'll reach post number 650 at some point in the next few months. But, in reality, I don't know how to celebrate the event, if any celebration at all, as I've been so down, these days... very little to look up to. Not even paying much attention to corn season, either. I used to say that to my friends more often... Me and grandma are sorta done with fireworks and fireplaces. We'll see... this month is looking like another one of grieving and longing. Hopefully not, but anyway...


The Baltic Mug makes an appearance once again, cheers...
I made myself some more coffee just now, I like coffee, tastes good if you put enough sugar on it. Some people drink it black, I am not one of them. Can't stand the pure taste, too bitter. I haven't been promoting the blog much on twitter these days... my posts are a bit sad, at the moment, and in fact I'd start being sad as well on this one. I mean, it is the least we can do... I appreciate you, dear reader, thank you, my friend, for sticking around. You are the best! I hope to see you real soon for some more words...
