Good morning, my good friend, reader of this post! How are you, this Sunday Tuesday? How was your past week? I am okay. The past week was bellow average, many harsh moments, but fortunately they were overcome to a certain point... Today, I am okay, I would say. Ah... it has been harsh to write something proper, on the blog, and I have done some attempts as it went, none really satisfied me, at all. What is there to be said on a bellow average week, but tears and lamentation? In either case, it is a bother. It is lack of concentration, insecurity on what to write, sometimes lack of a subject or direction, none or too many ideas. Writing is a balance act, at the end of the day, as many things are, when I feel anxious or sad, I usually rant about what is going on in the head... not always bad, but not always good, either. Balance.
That being said... this last Saturday has been okay. I played Anno 1404, a classic, and also Victoria 3. I was doing a test diet, also, for the doctor's appointment, that also is going fine. Anyway, I don't think I've mentioned it, before, but mom did something extraordinary recently: she paid most of my debt! How crazy and amazing is that? I am not nearly as in a bad situation as I once was, though I still have things to pay... On that note, I am not sure I mentioned this before, either, but my grandma is moving places. The house that she used to live in will be rented out. It is a bittersweet moment, because I have been around her and that house for about 25 years or so... with her moving, that would be a huge change in schedule, and since I don't know where she is going, I am insecure. She may be moving far away, and how will I visit her, then?
I have found out through personal usage that Apple Music is superior to Spotify, in sound quality. It started with Pavanne, by my beloved composer Gabriel Faure, but now it has extended to everything I listen to, including one of the only Glass's works I appreciate, the opera Akhnaten, on this zealot Pharaoh that once did the blasphemy of forsaking the Old Egyptian Gods and wanting to establish the cult to Aten, the rays of sunlight, in its place. I also found out the production of this Opera, done in 1986, to be better than the more recent one at the Metropolitan Opera House, done in 2019. It is quite a feature for a modern composition to recapture a bit of the talent of old. And yet, Akhnaten does just that. Most Glass's works do not touch me, and some repulse me, as I am inclined to be skeptical of modern productions, but Akhnaten is beautiful. If anything, it makes me wanna play some Pharaoh!
With that, I think it is a moment to wrap up today's post. This one was a pain to produce, taking me more than a week! I pray and hope I can do the next one in lesser time. I appreciate writing and do not like when I don't do it... I should also catch up with college work. A lot to do! So, when will you see me again? Hopefully before the end week, by... I would say... Thursday or Friday, though, if I am struck by similar blockage, It may take another week... Ah, in either case, I wish you the best and I thank you for being here! I see you again real soon.
