In Which I think of the book project and brainstorm briefly on it!

Hello, my friend, reader of this present post! I am happy to see you once again. It is great to be here. How are you? Hopefully the week went fine? As for me, I am okay, I'd say. The birthday week, so to speak, was relatively uneventful, except for some bursts of anxiety at the evening of day 12, precisely at the day of celebration. Family time can be a challenge...  I often think if my book idea would go anywhere... I wanted to write my thoughts on urban planning and architecture, and yet I imagine any path I take, will likely be faced wirh cruel scrutiny, and the only variable will be what will the lane they will pick, if any. Firstly, I did read the great book by Mrs. Jacobs on the death and life of great American cities, and wanted to emulate it. I thought on a research, then I thought it would be better to write from my life experience instead.. perhaps I should do a life experience writing, with researches if proven necessary? The fact is I am gloomy about brazilian cities an...

In Which History Progression games are quite entertaining

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post. Happy Monday, of the last week of October, where we will have the Halloween celebrations! How are you, today, and how have you been? As for me, I am okay, I suppose. I should rejoice on not facing the same incredible mental difficulties of September, but after a while, it is hard not to take the stability for granted, which is dangerous trend, even... what have I been doing? Overall, I finished the October activities for college, thank Goodness! I have been gravitating more towards Victoria 3, I suppose history progression attracts me. Apart from this game, I tend to have other ones in mind that I'd like to try but have a strong cold feet just at the time of doing it: Anno 1800 and The Sims 3. It is very frustrating to always return to the same game, when I have others in mind I'd like to try. As I said, the history progression thing tends to catch my eye, but many times Vic3 just drains me... I did finish some audiobooks, even if I have not read much the past few days, an activity I should resume, as audiobooks do not replace the reading exercise... neither have I drawn much. I am usually dead worried of ever doing it again, due to my very low mental energy. I pray that is not the case. What a crisis... a pencil can weight tons at some days, much to ny great despair. In any case, October passed by quite fast! I should soon write a post to wrap up the month, but for today, I just wanted to stop by, write about what I've been doing... that sort of thing...



The books I finished of the audio kind are the one by Pierre M. Judson on the Habsburg Empire, and also one written by a contemporary member of this household himself, sir Eduard Habsburg! Yes, as I mentioned the other post, quite a Habsburg season, and it's not even finished yet, as I have some more to read and listen to, on this imperial family.

I have mention my desire to play some The Sims 3, this season I got many mods for this particular game, to the point my computer is full of them, making my storage problem again a factor to consider. It can be painful to see the game struggling to be executed as well, due to the amount, I may have to revisit the ones I have and so decide which ones I am keeping and which ones I am not. I must admit that installing mods and managing the game files runs the risk of being more fun than the game itself. It was the same with streaming, just messing with settings, in this case, definitely was better than the activity of streaming itself... 

I trust this is a good point to wrap up this journal style post. When should I return, to the publication? Hopefully before the 31st, but if not, around that date I should wrire to wrap up October. Happy to see you, once again! And maybe you will be here for the next one as well! Who knows? I definitely will love your company for that one! As usual, I wish you the best, and I see you again real real soon! Farewell for now!
