The Trembling

 

Hi Natty!  How are today, my love?  I hope that all is well with you, and you are having a fabulous time.  I had to drive far today, to go to Starbucks.  Yes, I needed more of that dark espresso roast.  I had them grind it up for me.  Coffee grinders are hard to come by around here.  Coffee beans too, for that matter.  I also bought my favorite rose pekoe teabags, as the place that sells it is on the way to Starbucks.  They're building a rather ambitious shopping complex in that area, taking a rather big chance I think, during this era of home delivery.  I would like to see a really nice ice cream parlor.  Can't deliver that, huh!  Baskin-Robbins maybe, or Ben and Jerry's.  I also got some anchovies to go with my roasted peanuts.  I roasted them myself this time, from raw peanuts.  They turned out a bit sweet for some reason, I still having mastered salting them yet.  No big deal, that's what the anchovies are for.  Speaking of salt, my pickles are ready!  Faster than usual, it's probably because I put a little too much salt in the brine.  The pickles turned out great, though.  I guzzled them down with the steak sandwiches I had for dinner.  I think you would like my pickles, Natty.  I'll make them religiously for you when you get pregnant inshaAllah.

Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  Are you having tons of fun?  I wish I could share it with you.  You are MY girl, and I love you with all of my heart.  Instead, I must be here.  I cut the grass this evening, and I woke up early this morning to take my Mom to her checkup.  So I'm a bit worn out right now.  But it's movie night!  So let's watch a movie, shall we?  "Me, Myself & Irene" (2002).  I'm afraid I didn't laugh.  Not even a little.  Maybe I've become too serious, I don't know.  I'm a big fan of Jim Carrey, but to me this movie is like Stanley Ipkis meets Lloyd Christmas and not in a funny way.  I kind of wish they had made a 9 hour version of "Dumb and Dumber" back when it first came out.  I would rather watch something like that.

Qur'an 20220629

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

105.  They ask you concerning the mountains.  Say, "My Lord will uproot them, and scatter them as dust."

106.  God will leave them as plains, smooth and level.

107.  Nothing crooked and curved will you see in their place.

Ta Ha  20:105-107

The British are coming

 

Hi Natty!  Natty, you're so pretty!  Your hair looks fabulous, dahlink.  We're here for the hair!  Where are you now, Honey?  Are you in jolly old England?  Wot wot!  Would you like a cup of tea?  I grew up in England when I was a tiny little kid, did I ever tell you that?  In fact, I have a snapshot of my old house that I found on Google:

We lived in the basement.  I didn't realize that I lived by a graveyard.  Creepy!  I probably didn't know what it was.  I was only 4.  So what are you having for dinner?  Please show us your dinner, we would love to see it!  I had steak sandwiches for dinner.  It was a nice quick fix, because I went out to buy gasoline.  I also bought some raw peanuts, which I'm roasting right now.  It's been a hot day.  I think I'll have some iced tea!  Don't you think it's strange that hot tea is a British stereotype, while iced tea is an American stereotype?  Or is it just me?

OK folks, I believe I've gone through all the designers Spring 2022 Ready-To-Wear collections.  And the winner is.... ZUHAIR MURAD!  YAY!!  WOO HOO!!  YIPPEE!!  YAHOO!!  I think it was the 2 girls that gave him the advantage.  The prize is... that he gets to be the winner!!  YAY!!  WOO HOO!!  YIPPEE!!  YAHOO!! 

 Next is Spring 2022 Couture.  I see that few fashion brands have the nerve to do couture, so that means I have less than a month's worth of reviews (if I did all of them).  I'm not doing Fall 2022 Ready-To-Wear until September 1 inshaAllah.  So when I run out of couture, I guess I'll do Resort 2022.  No contest there, folks.  I don't think I would be able to finish all the Resort 2022 by September 1.

Here is a list of a top 10 ranking: the best haute couture brands by thevou.com:

• 1/10. DIOR.
• 2/10. CHANEL.
• 3/10. SCHIAPARELLI.
• 4/10. JEAN PAUL GAULTIER.
• 5/10. GIVENCHY.
• 6/10. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN.
• 7/10. VALENTINO.
• 8/10. FENDI.
• 9/10. ADELINE ANDRE
• 10/10. FRANCK SORBIER
• I don't know who thevou.com is, but they were the top search I found on Google.  Anyway, I'm starting off with the Chanel SPRING 2022 COUTURE collection.  Hm, what's with the black eye?

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Sweetheart?  Aw I long to be with you Honey, and don't we all wish we were as beautiful as you.  Are you hungry?  I took my mother to the market this morning, and I bought stuff to make won tons.  Won ton skins are tedious to roll by hand, and it's about RM 3.50 for a hundred skins.  Ugh... I don't even want to think about the labor of rolling out skins by hand.  I use tofu and fish for stuffing, and making stuffed won tons are tedious period.  Frying them up is quick though, and eating them is quick too.  Oh Natty, they are so addictive.  Go to a Chinese restaurant and try some, you must try some!  I could easily put down 100 of them in one sitting, it's a good thing I only made 30 for dinner.  When we are together inshaAllah, you can help me stuff won tons.

I watched the "Horizon Forbidden West" movie again, this time I found a version that cut out most of the gameplay and all of the inventory digging, so it was only 7 hours long.  Ashley Burke plays the lead of Aloy, and after watching it again I have to say that she did a good job with the circumstance.  I don't think any actor, no matter how famous and experienced they are, seem totally comfortable in video games.  I do think that video game movies are a major part of modern movie making, and the revenue thereof.  I'm so taken with the beauty of the graphics in "Horizon Forbidden West", but there are some parts which totally do not fly.  The dream sequence for instance, looks like a cheap cartoon or bad render.  Nothing's perfect, I guess.  Nice story, though.
