Good morning, dear reader of this post, my good friend! Happy new week, happy Monday, and I wish you indeed the best! How are you today? How have you been? As for me, I am okay, overall! I woke up way earlier than I should, but that is fine, because I slept a lot yesterday. I played some Anno 1800, may visit the game some more later. I also played the horrid dollhouse simulator (aka Sims 4) because I already have that one, might as well use it from time to time, whenever I feel like it anyway. It comes in waves and it really depends on what I want to do, what my focus is... if it is Building a house, Sims 3 is a bit harder to manage, so I go Sims 4. But if I want some more gameplay, Sims 3 it is! Apart from those games, what else can I play? Perhaps some Victoria 3? Not sure... I tried some EU4, it ruined my day, really. It really made me dread ever playing a game. I am even considering uninstalling again. I just hate losing wars to the Ottomans, I hate the RNG of that game as well. It always feels arbitrary, why the hell are the Ottos so strong? I hate them. I hate hate everything about it. Speaking of that, I read this morning as well some pages of my book on Maria Theresa, and I may dislike her son Joseph as much as she does, what a petty control-freak dictator! I fell out of love with the Enlightment of the French Fashion, or at least I prefer the Catherine II approach, from what I've read on her. I hate this shift of paradigm that Rousseau did, where women and men were separated in different opposites. No. I do not stand for that. Rousseau is evil and I hope he is toasting in Hell right now, in eternal damnation that God won't lift even in the end-days. I spit on his wretched grave, this proto-marxist. I am frustrated with this death of Rococo, this destruction of the baroque world that I came to appreciate more and more. Anyway... food for thought this book gives me! I appreciate the author bringing the differences between Joseph and Theresa up, so I may prefer her. It is also a point in her life of much much sorrow. She lost her much-beloved husband, Francis Stephen, that died of a fulminating heart attack, and from this loss she never recovered. I relate to her depression, and I am in awe of her strengh, and by rhat I mean, she walked. I think I would never desire to walk after what she went through. But then again, life has the final say, thank the Lord for that.
Drawing that I've been slowly working on!
On my course, I reached half of the current discipline. I am on topic 5 of 10. So far, a promising start to this course, and I should read this current topic 5 pretty soon, even today if I can bring myself to do it. On reading the subjects, I have adopted the Adobe approach, and their free app on iOs is pretty amazing, I must say. They have some great features! I also am using their Scanning app for my drawings, and I have been pleasantly surprised with the results. I also hope I can draw today, I am working on a new drawing that hopefully will turn out great. I would be working on it right now, but I am stretching my legs after being in the workstation. One ought to do it. If I don't, I get extremely sore from too much pressure on my bottom, sitting muscle.
And how is the weather where you are, by the way? Here, the weather has been hot and miserable, still. Only yesterday did we have some rain, for the first time in weeks. I am not sure if more is to come, but the day dawned cloudy, much to my rejoicement. Again, I write the post through my phone, as to have something to do on my bed resting time... I hate when I find myself out of things to do, or when I feel trapped in bed. I dread boredom. I dread the time not passing fast. I crave activities to keep the brain ongoing! Apart from that, what a nightmare I've had, this evening, I don't even want to touch this subject more promptly, such was my bad impression of it.
With that, I must bring this post to a close. When should I be back for some more thoughts, ideas, and journaling? I am never sure, might take me one day, more than 3 sometimes... a whole week. But I hope less than the latter. I will try to be here again as the week goes, before the weekend. Until then, thank you so much dear reader, for your presence, and I see you again real soon!
