Book review

 

Aw, I wanted to watch the "Wine on Venus" video but you keep pushing back the premier.  I guess I will just have to wait till tonight like everyone else.

I don't usually do book reviews.  The only book reviews I've ever done are for Vogue.  I think it's because I have a cat named Anna.  Anyway, here's my review of Vogue US September 2024.  Louis Vuitton ran away with this issue.  Everything they posted is great, especially the collection that Ghesquière photographed.  Best outfit goes to the dress that Rachel Brosnahan wore.  Oh, it's not current?  Oh well.  Also great is the catsuit on Blake.  Any of the clothes by Dolce and Gabbana that covered up Miley's hideous tattoos is great.  Also that fluffy outfit by Alexander McQueen.  I love those Coach boots.  Overall, no outstanding eyesores in this issue.  I don't like fat models but again, oh well.  Vogue still needs to work harder on Vogue ads.

Very nice!  Very jazzy.  It's amazing how fluid you've become.  So are you in love with the lick, or with yourself, or with your shoes?  Wow, it's September already.  It's going to get colder, so watch out for that ice on the road.  Be safe and healthy.  Also, beware of people your own age.

Woo Hoo featuring Mary Unknown7

 

So how did it get so loud?  Wouldn't you like to know!  Figure it out yourselves, Smartie Pants!  Those Fender tube amps can get pretty loud, but not loud enough for the big stages.  You need a Marshall stack.  The modern stacks can sound great at low volumes but most importantly, a Marshall stack would match the hair.  So when will I be able to see your whole Opry set?

Is that guy bugging you?  Whatever it is he does, he can't block your music because you are above him now.  You are MY girl.  Stay at home and hide when you feel you're attracting too much attention.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

40.  Say, "Have you seen 'partners' of yours whom you call upon besides Allah?  Show me what it is the they have created in the earth.  Or have they a share in the heavens?"  Or have We given them a Book from which their clarity?  No, the wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions.

The Originator of Creation 35:40

Seedless

 

Hi Grace.  What's up, I haven't heard from you.  With you no news is bad news, so I assume you're having a "too many lovers" problem.  It's not the same problem for men, so I guess all I can say is be safe and guard your chastity.

I used to cultivate mango trees as an attempt to get some halal income.  That didn't work out, and it left me with resentment towards what other people regarded as halal.  I still have a few trees left from that time, and they finally flowered earlier this year.  I kept them short so I could easily reach the fruit.

No more farming for me!  It was a mistake to veer away from music, but life is supposed to be difficult and the world is full of other people.  I would like to point out the farmer in the video who achieved seedless mangoes.  What do they taste like?

The extreme

 

Oh you're so pretty!  No wonder people are jealous of you.  Can I join you in the shower to watch your hair routine?  I could watch a video loop of just you playing with your hair.  I'm sure many people would agree with me that that's one of the highlights of your live shows.  Oh, you got a bicycle!  I'm happy to see that you're getting exercise.  That's beautiful country too, a nice long bike ride in that scenery is great for the heart.  Helps you think, too.  Make sure you think in music, not just words.  And don't forget to work out your upper arms and shoulders.  A weight bench is my preferred workout, but I don't have one.  I do have a couple of small weights, but otherwise I try to be active in the yard.  Yes Honey, I know I have to cut the grass but I also want to clear out all the creepers on the cashew tree.

Rock and Roll is supposed by the crowd to some sort of extreme, so bands often use some sort of shock value in their act so as not to be boring.  Sure we need to explore and experiment, but not at the expense of our health and sanity.  And the end result should be great music, not just shock value.

I really really really want that fretless guitar in the video below.
