I just listened to the Minit soundtrack on vinyl, for the very first time and am loving it!
Minit is a video game my brother, his girlfriend and two of their friends made. It was released in 2018, when I had just arrived in Portugal.
Fun fact: I met the guy who made the soundtrack ( Jukio Kallio ) for Minit, years ago. I love his work! You can check it out on Spotify, among other places.
How many people can say that they listened to the soundtrack of a game made by their brother, let alone on vinyl? ;<)
More info on this game can be found here: https://minitgame.com/
as well as the blog post I wrote about it, back in the days:
The Best of Both Worlds - Practicing Portuguese by Playing my Brother's Game
So yesterday I sold my house. It's the first time ever I sold a property.
A little over three years ago, I bought my first house. Now I sold it.
This is the village where my house was located ( picture taken by me 3 years ago ). It looks a lot greener now. This picture was taken about a year after a huge fire that destroyed a big area of Portugal.
I am now homeless, in a way, but not really...
In fact, I have been renting a pretty sweet house with an amazing view, since early May. Before that, since mid December 2020, I house sat the house of my current neighbors. That place was pretty awesome too and had a 7 hectare terraced garden that bordered at the river and included a small private beach.
The house that I'm currently renting is actually also for sale but the asking price is ( way ) above my budget.
Also, I'm not really sure whether I would like to buy this place if I could / can ( in the not too distant future ).
Now I'm in the luxury position, where I can just rent and take my time to figure out what next step to take.
Meanwhile I plan to increase my crypto investments, expecting my money to grow in the coming months. This is something that wouldn't be the case if I just kept it in Euros.
Now I could make this a very long post but I just wanted to share this with you all. I have had some hectic days lately but it seems that - now this has been taken care of - I will be able to focus on my creativity once again. Something that is of paramount importance for me.
Expect me to do some painting and get back to writing my Hypersensitivosaurus story very soon.
Also, on Sunday, I will reach the ripe age of 80
That is, together with my twin sister
Pretty crazy if you ask me :<)
I invited a bunch of people today and I am sure my extravert sister invited loads more and expect us to have a fun time eating pastry and swapping clothes at my twin sister's quinta, Sunday afternoon.
In fact, the picture above this post is a design my twin sister came up with as an invite for this special day of ours.
How can you not love her style? ;<)
And yes, I am bias-ed as a twin brother but still...
I am gonna end it here for today although there's so much more I could talk about. No worries, I plan to up my blogging game, once again, from now on.
Much love,
Vincent
