Letter to Erin 20150708




In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Ouch!  My right eye is all bloodshot and red from staring at that small screen too much.  It hurts.  At least I think it's from playing that game whenever I get a chance.  Don't worry: I have medication, so I should be better soon inshaAllah.  But I also have a fever.  There must be something else going on.  I'm still fasting, but I'll take a couple of fever reducer in about half an hour.  This reminds me of the big US stock market crash of 2008.  I was watching the Bloomberg channel, and some of the reporters had red, swollen right eyes from staring at the ticker.  It started my thinking: if one were obese and blind in one eye, it would be from staying indoors and staring at a computer 24/7.  Most likely creating virtual realities.

Oh, I'm just spouting some "End Of The World" talk.  I took some photos of Bat Cat III today.  I think he's a bit too pretty to be a male cat.  At first I thought he had blue eyes, but no, they are green.  He's a very friendly kitty: he was the first to approach me and say hello, when he was only 10 days old.  I wish I had a camera then.  He's also the most intelligent of all my kittens.  He likes to stay out of sight and observe, then exploit any weaknesses.  He also enjoys digging up dark secrets, which is probably why someone threw a rock at him a couple of weeks ago.  When I snapped some shots of him just now, he started posing, then he did a Nietszche impersonation.  Yeah, he has a left eye.  It was just the exposure that hid his eye, or maybe he was just copying my right eye.  My Batty Watty is prettier than Nietszche, though.  Did you see that cartoon of Nietszche in a wheelchair?

Nothing special for breaking fast tonight, just some fried rice with Thai seasoning, and a date.  I have a lot of rice, so you're welcome to join me.  You beautiful girl.  I love you, and I need you.
