Qur'an 20180826

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

1.  Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn,"

2.  From the mischief of created things.

3.  From the mischief of darkness as it overspreads.

4.  From the mischief of those who practice secret arts.

5.  And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.

(The Daybreak 112:1-4)

The riddle of the spaghetti sauce

Hi Natty honey.  How's life treating you today?  How's business?  I noticed you changed your front page photo recently, now you have one glowing eye and one dark eye.  It's the same eye as this, I think: but a bit darker.  How am I doing?  It's business as usual for me.  I'm almost finished with the SailorStars marathon, next I have to go back and read the manga all over again.  At the same time, I need to play guitar more.  I can just scroll the comics automatically, while I plunk on the guitar.  The last version of the manga I had, Usagi was renamed "Bunny".  What's for dinner?  I just had some of my mother's beef and potato soup, with some chicken pastries.  I sure have been eating a lot lately.  For lunch I had spaghetti with steak.  I have a lot of steak right now.  I used the spaghetti, or marinara, sauce I made a few days ago.  It's so awesome by itself, or with bread, but with spaghetti noodles it doesn't taste right.  It's a simple sauce: just tomatoes, garlic, parsley, cilantro and salt.  It should have been great with spaghetti, but it just didn't feel right.  It's not the flavor, it's the feeling that's off.  I guess spaghetti sauce should be filled with fat and grease and unhealthy in order to be satisfying.  I dunno.  The concept is correct, the feeling isn't.

How do you like my hair?  It's almost an afro, but not quite.  Some jerk today thought I was Portuguese or Brazilian.  Imagine that.
