Too sexy

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling, my love?  Are you ready for the New Year?  I'm sure you are going to do just great, and have a great time at it inshaAllah.  You're so beautiful, and I love you.  I'm glad you dress modestly in your daily life.  If you were to dress like I dress in Second Life, guys would go crazy violent.  Yeah I like mini skirts and dresses, so I wear them all the time in Second Life but certainly not in real life.  Even if looked like my avatar in real life, I wouldn't dress like that.  However since I am a chick singer, it is my business to dress like a chick singer.  But just because I look like that, doesn't mean that I want to engage in sexual activity.  In fact, I don't engage in any sexual activity whatsoever in Second Life.  And I certainly don't want to be teleported to an adult sim without my consent.  That's abduction, which in Second Life is called griefing.  So don't do it, people.  I will file an abuse report.

Anyway, I wanted to look like a Kappa by putting on orange and green, but instead today I turned out to look like a cavewoman.

Go with the flow

Hi Natty!  Are you excited?  I'm sure you are excited, and you are doing a great job of keeping your cool.  That way you get to enjoy it more!  Go with the flow Natty dearest, but keep your integrity.  Please pray.  I had an old baguette that had gotten hard, so I cut it into cubes to put in the grinder to make breadcrumbs.  But the blade in my spice grinder attachment stuck.  The machine was whining to try turn the blade, and I could barely move the blade with my fingers.  Thus was the death of my spice grinder.  So I had all these tasteless croutons, what to do with them?  I don't eat salads.  First thing to do was to put flavor in them, and I had some chicken broth with milk that I had to use up.  Alas I don't have an oven big enough for a tray of croutons, so I thought I would cook them in a wok.  But the croutons didn't dry up: they had flavor, but were chewy and moist.  Well, I guess I could use them as a staple like rice.  What would I eat them with?  I made an omelet.  So my dinner was chewy croutons with an omelet.  It tasted just fine, but doubtlessly weird.

Things are also weird now on Second Life, but I don't have enough information at this time to talk about it.  However, I had to take my snapshots over at Grind, because the lighting there is so excellent.  No, the weirdness had nothing to do with Grind.

What's the news?

Hi Natty!  Yeah, that guy is right... you are beautiful from every angle.  Like a natural born movie star.  Don't you DARE let anybody con you into getting plastic surgery- you DON'T need it.  I normally stay up until about midnight, I do most of my computer work after sunset.  Then I have my alarm set at 5 am, I study the Qur'an then pray the dawn prayer at about 6 am then try to get back to sleep until sunrise, so that gives me about 6 hours sleep everyday plus a nap before voice training of varying lengths of time.  If God is kind then it would be a cool day, I might get an extra hour sleep otherwise 20 minutes would be enough to keep me from passing out when I sing inshaAllah.  Today I woke at 3 am, I do that sometimes, so I do some extra worship.  Then I had to pass time before the dawn prayer, so I worked on my avatar.  I have a whole stack of work to do on my avatar, all fashion related.  I don't mind so much getting up at 3 am, so I can take care of the baby inshaAllah.  I will pray with the baby in my arms.  I guess you do a lot of night work as well.  I suppose your mom doesn't like to hear you study so loud.  What's the news, anyway?  The price of groceries?  My mom doesn't like to hear my cat Luka howl and scream so loud when I voice train.  She is in heat after all, my cat that is.  And she goes on howling all day and all night.  She's almost out of heat though.  Her screeching wasn't as passionate this morning, and she's quiet right now.

It's time to watch another movie, Natty.  I think you've seen this one before, but please watch it again.  Matrix Revolutions (2003).  I've mentioned this before, that I think the Christ figure represented in this movie is not Neo, but both Neo and Trinity.

Now if you would please excuse me, my dear and precious beloved, I'm going to eat my dinner.  Steamed rice with spicy chicken and eggplant.  Want some?

Acting class

Hi Natty!  Are you excited for the new year?  InshaAllah, it's going to be an awesome year for you.  Lots of stuff going on for my beautiful Natty!  Did you take acting lessons like I told you to?  No time?  Well, we make time for the things we love and love to do.  I took acting class a loooooong time ago, when I was in college.  I really enjoyed it, but I didn't go too far in theater.  One thing I did learn is that I have to be myself doing a scene, instead of some famous actor doing a scene.  Does that make sense?  I remember doing Jack Nicholson in a scene from "Terms of Endearment" and Steve Martin in the bathroom scene from "All of Me".  No, I don't want to be in the movies or on TV.  I'm already doing what I want to do, the future is now for me.  Not in the cheesy sense, but because it's all the same day to me.  Having lots of money and not having to put up with hot weather and manual labor would be great.  Would I be the same person though?  I don't know.  I'm too old and stuck in my ways to change.  Plus, I'm damned lazy.  Hopefully, I won't turn into a bloated blob.  InshaAllah.

Pretend not to hear

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  Are you enjoying the holidays, lazing around the house or are you out on the mountains?  I would prefer to laze around the house, warming up to the fire and watching TV.   Perhaps if you were to get me a snowmobile, I would be out and about.  But I wouldn't be able to chase you down the slopes.  Have fun during the holidays my love, soon you'll have to get back to work, we all have to.  But know that I love you, and I will take care of you inshaAllah.  I have to work every day.  I am a servant of Allah.

What is longevity in the entertainment business anyway?  Speaking strictly as a singer, we see nowadays singers with 50 year careers suffering the same peak as singers with 10 year careers: being a judge in a talent contest/variety show.  Who would want to finance the ongoing career of any winner thereof anyway?  There are so many good singers, just wait for the next season.  Maybe one could diversify to get a side income.  Maybe put in the footwork to run a restaurant, design clothes, or perhaps even influence markets by giving (or not giving) endorsements?  Allah is the One Who has the power.  Allah is the One Who enlarges or restricts the provision of whoever God wills.  Those who ignore the signs of Allah will have a grievous penalty.

Qur'an 20181227

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

127.  They ask your instruction concerning the women.  Say, "Allah does instruct you about them, and what has been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom you give not the portions prescribed and yet whom you desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that you stand firm for justice to orphans."  There is not a good deed which you do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.

(The Women 4:127)

Hi Natty!  How was your day today?  Did you have a marvelous time?  That's a lovely family photo as usual, and that is a curious T-shirt.  I don't recognize the people, so it remains curious to me.  You have an awesome day my love, and don't you worry about a thing.  I love you, and I will take care of you inshaAllah.

It's business as usual around here.  I took my Mom to the doctor for a checkup, did my laundry, and cut the grass in the evening.  I made fried rice for dinner.  Luka is in heat, but she's going to have to stay in the house so the humans don't kill her.  After I post this letter, I'll be going to the mosque to join the night prayer.  It's time for you to watch another movie.  I suppose you are relaxing and enjoying your time off, so please watch "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008).

 I really like this snapshot.  I'm using it as my current desktop background.
