  The forest was green—a place of dense greenery and bright sunlight. Yet, the sun itself was not always directly visible, obscured by the towering trees cloaked in thick foliage. Large green leaves adorned the branches; water dripped from some of them, remnants of the morning rain—a common occurrence in these parts. The trees stretched high toward the sky, while the grass at their bases grew just as thick and tall.

  I didn't go to the country house this weekend; it was cold and raining heavily in the morning. I had doubts about what the conditions would be like there—whether it would be warm or freezing. My brother and I decided to skip the trip. Meanwhile, the weather in the city improved, and it turned warm by midday. I spent the time tending to the flowers on my shelving unit. I started on September 1st—a fresh beginning right after the last day of August.

Bright sun. Great cars. This track makes me daydream. A racing track—2 minutes and 8 seconds long. Such speed. I’m lost in thought again. An excellent, high-speed track. A musical piece. And this time, it’s daytime, not night, courtesy of Miami Nights 1984.

  In September, I started working with Visual Basic and brought an old idea to life: a simple program for making entries—short notes—centered around a specific theme: the Psycho Durka. It’s designed for recording particularly heavy or traumatic episodes. It features a stylized black-and-red interface.

  I'm continuing to study music. This time, in a new way. From a textbook, so to speak. Well, not exactly. From exercises. I have a whole bunch of instruments. Bass guitar, electric guitar, synthesizer, and voice. I'm mastering all of them. Progress is modest. And every now and then I need to write. And on Fridays, I spend time on what I call a song. This is preparation for a song.

  The last weekend in August. Which means summer is ending too. Of course, it's already cooler. It's already August. But it was quite chilly in the morning. I was already wondering – will this day be like summer? But the answer is yes! The day was bright and summery. The clouds parted, and the day had a bright summer sky. It was warm.
