In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Erin, I saw your basketball thingy about the Truth or Dare Horse. I'll have to remind you that the sexiest part of you is your sweetness. You probably don't mean to either, which is extra sweet. But it does make some people angry, regardless of their gender. Not me, I like that part of you very much. So be careful, OK? Do not underestimate the power of a beautiful woman. Having people suffer feels worse than loneliness. If you're a good person, that is.
Now don't get me wrong, Sweetie. I love you and I need you. Sure, you can only be yourself. That's what makes you so beautiful. I want you to watch this old movie whenever you have time and relaxing and such. I used to be a huge fan of Louise Brooks. I even had my hair cut like hers! The look didn't work out for me because I have a lumpy back of my head, not to mention I'm built like a chimpanzee. Brooksie was self destructive, and not just in a chemical way either. I think most people would agree that she was too intelligent combined with too stubborn.
I went to the butcher this morning. Early this morning. I managed to score some tenderloin. You can't find tenderloin at an American grocery store! I like tenderloin alhamdulillah, but it's a bit too lean. My parents prefer the brisket, but I think it's too difficult to pan fry. There's a mystery cut that I like better, but I don't know exactly where it is. I suspect it's somewhere around the flank. Anyway, I didn't have steak today. I portioned the beef into steaks, but I had fried calamari for dinner. These kittens are so spoiled! They don't like raw squid, but they are all over my fried calamari! And if I don't give them a snack, they start crying. Wah! Wah! Shut up! Go and eat cat food! Oh, not you Erin. You can join me for food anytime.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello again, my beloved! And how's business today? Well, you are America's Sweetheart, and mine. But how are you feeling? Your emotions are so important, and so important to me. So please make an effort to calm your heart. Drugs and alcohol won't do it, so please pray. Please try to stay at home if you're not working. I love you, and I need you.
It's all business here for me today. In the morning I paid my power bill, then went to the grocery store get some red hot pepper puree. My Mom gave me some fried noodles for lunch, so I didn't have to cook. After voice training, I chopped down some of the thick scrub by the side of the road. I used a hacksaw, rather. There was suddenly a water outage, so I couldn't cook dinner. So I bought some dinner at the night market. There was an ice cream truck there, so I bought a couple of vanilla cones and sat at the side of the road on my motorcycle and watched the crowd pass by. Want some ice cream? There's still no running water right now, but it is raining.

Hi Erin! How's business today? I'm sure you are the top of your game. So have fun with it, and please make sure you maintain your prayers. Calm your heart with prayer, not intoxication. Boss Model. You are MY girl. I love you, and I need you.
The sun finally came out today, after being MIA for a week. It had rained a few times during the last week, and it rained last night as well. The weather people claim that rain washes away the smog, but I don't know about that. There are still many rain clouds in the air, so it's not altogether sunny, but perhaps I can burn all that trash in my front yard soon. The population of humans and plants here isn't dense enough to produce haze, so this smog came from somewhere else, probably even as far away as New York City. That means it will be back, certainly it will come back.
The recent fish crisis gave me a craving for cheeseburgers, a craving generated by the tedium of acquisition of other raw materials. For some odd reason burger buns are not easy to find around here lately, but I find that sliced bread tastes better than burger buns so I don't miss it that much. Burger buns are for presentation only. This makes my cheeseburgers bigger than usual, so I never make doubles. Instead I made 3 for my dinner, with lettuce and tomatoes from my own garden. I was too lazy to make mayo, so I cooked up some soft eggs instead. Whenever I go to McDonald's, I always get the same thing every time: 3 double cheeseburgers. Sometimes I vary it by getting 2 double cheeseburgers and some fries. What do you get when you go to McDonald's? Medium fries and a garden salad?

Hi there, my most beautiful Erin! How's my beloved Pro doing today? It's great to be successful, so please give thanks to Allah and maintain your prayers. I want you to always keep in mind your own well-being, and guard those precious emotions of yours. I love you and I need you.
I went out in search of a snapper this morning. I woke up at 3:30 am, not necessarily intentionally. I do that sometimes. It's a strange rhythm, so I conduct extra worship. I knew I had to go to the market after the dawn prayer, so I tried to grab a nap after worship. All the snapper available today was small, the size of my hand. Now don't get me wrong, snapper tastes great at any size. But a snapper the size of my hand is only good for one meal. So the better value is to buy a big fish. I use the 2 fillets for 2 servings of sushi or whatever, the head for curry, the bones for broth, the skin for a crispy fry, and I keep the roe and liver in the freezer for whatever use they may have. That's 6 meals out of one fish! So I didn't buy a snapper this morning. I'll wait until I come across a fish that's about 2 kilos. And you know the added advantage allowing the small fish to grow big, people? They get a chance to produce young, so you don't wipe out the species! Needless to say, I was rather annoyed this morning. Maybe I'm just not a morning person.

Hey there, Erin dahling. How are you today, Sweetie? I suppose it's that time of year where supermodel politics are in full rage. You're at the top of the heap to me, because you're MY girl. Oh, you're so sweet. Please make sure that success doesn't steal away your sweetness. I love you Erin, and I need you.
I still had all that scad fillet in my freezer. Adult hardtail scad is only good for sushi or sashimi on the very first day. This is because it had powerful flavor, and after the first day it becomes too overbearing to eat raw, no matter if you freeze it. The younger fish are more tasteless. But no matter, scad is a perfect match with marinara sauce. Like sardines, but different. Meatier. So that's what I had for dinner. I heated up my marinara sauce, then added chunks of scad. I enjoyed it with fresh tortillas. Italiana Mexicana! I wish I had some mozzarella cheese. I have more in the cooler if you want to come over.

Hi Erin! How are you today, my love? Busy, busy? It's a slow moving day for me, but one thing about my life is that my chores wait for me. So I get to them when I get to them, then I find that I was on time after all. What the hell am I saying? I'm lazy! It's another hazy day here. The country air should be so clean, there's obviously not enough people here to generate such smog. Not enough vegetation to burn, either. This smog came from somewhere else.
Stuffed won tons take a long time to make, so after the usual round of chores I spent my morning making stuffed won tons. I could eat a copious amount of won tons if done right. Today, I experimented with a new flavor: fish liver. While I was in the middle of it, my Mom gave me a whole lot of fried rice which I just had for dinner. My fish liver won tons tasted OK, but I couldn't taste the fish liver. I could sense the, if you may, weight of the fish liver so I filled up faster. Either that, or I'm all won tonned out because I've eating won tons a lot lately. I need to practice bass next. The name of my bass is "Joe", as in "average". I write music bass first, so I don't really bother with speed and articulation anymore. I think ego driven riffs are for guitar solos only. I'm sure there a lot of better players than me. I hope you are giving your heart a break and taking your time. Your world waits for you, Princess. You are MY girl. I love you and I need you.

Hello again, beautiful Erin! Keeping safe, my dearest? Please do so. I want the best for you my love, for I love you. And I need you. I woke this morning ready for my fish. Eeyah, cooking takes a long time nowadays. Gone are the times when I can make a pizza in 10 minutes. But I did get to prep my fish yesterday. I removed the guts, the head and the tail, filleted it, and kept the skin and spine. There was still a lot of meat attached to the skin and spine. I had some desiccated coconut left in the freezer, so I cooked that to death in red hot pepper puree and lime juice. When that was dry enough, I added some chopped garlic to it, stuffed the sides of the fish with it, added some slices of fresh tofu, then bound the fish together with string. Then I fried it up, not too crispy. It tasted OK. Next time, I'll use fresh coconut. What tasted the most awesome was the dregs of oil at the bottom of the wok.
It's a super hazy day today. Very surreal. But incredibly humid. It's like a dreamscape out there. I went to the pharmacy in the evening to get some eye drops, I also stopped for gasoline and cooking oil. See you later, Dreamer Girl.
