Bob Cat III

Hi Honey!  How are you today?  You must be busy, so please get lots of rest and take proper care of yourself.  Are you hungry?  For dinner I made chicken chow mein again.  I was still fasting when I made it, but I can make fried noodles without having to taste it.  Fasting month will be over in a couple of days, and my fridge is full.  Alhamdulillah.  Around here, the challenge during Ramadan is not to gain weight.  Rather, I think I lost some weight this Ramadan.  I went to the supermarket without putting on a belt, and my jeans kept on wanting to fall down.  There is a new kitten in the yard, and his name is Bob Cat III.  He's so small and delicate, but the other cats are terrified of him for some reason.  When I fed the outdoor cats, he came over for a few pellets of cat food.  The other cats wouldn't touch the food since, and they still haven't, a few hours later.  I brought him inside to give him a bath, and the indoor cats acted similarly.  His predecessor Bob Cat II would claim all the cat food as his.  But this kitten is so small!  The other cats are three times his size!  Floofy was not pleased with me that I let him in the house.  I worried that perhaps he was carrying some biological hazard that I can't detect, but the best I could do was give him a bath and feed him anti-worm and anti-fungal medicine.  He's not an active kitten, either.  All he does is observe.  You can see it in his eyes.

As it turns out, it was all a setup.  Bob is actually older than his size.  He acted all helpless to win my trust, so he could get his brother a home as well.  Yes, he has a brother.  It's an orange cat, and he's bigger than Bob.  Good thing they're boys, so they can live in the yard.  I've never had an orange cat before.  I'm running out of cat names.  I guess I'll just call him Marmalade.

Hi Natty Honey!  Are you excited?  Are you?  Are you?  Are you ready to catch the big fish?  Now that you've graduated, one might think you have lots of spare time.  OH NO!  Anyway, the computer wants you to watch a movie.  It's a German movie, "Stroszek" (1977).  I guess you could call it an artsy movie.  This movie has tremendous influence though, in the underground music circle.  You are blessed that I found this movie on YouTube with English subtitles.  The version I have is subtitled in Mexican.  I feel it kind of resonates with your freshly graduating, about the hopelessness of a "normal" life.  Or the American Dream.  What do you think?
