What's on TV?

If you're just kicking back with nothing else to do, you might find it interesting to watch the shows that my computer forced me to watch while I was voice training today.




Yeah, none of it is a blessing and I could have fast forwarded it to the next show, but I don't do that while I'm singing unless it's "The Apprentice."

Qur'an 20161219

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

88.  Strain not your eyes at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them, but lower your wings to the believers.

89.  And say, "I am indeed he that warns openly and without ambiguity."

90.  As We sent down on those who divided,

91.  As have made the Qur'an into shreds.

92.  Therefore, by your Lord, We will, of a surety, call them to account,

93.  For all their deeds.

94.  Therefore expound openly what you are commanded, and turn away from those who join false gods with Allah.

The Rocky Tract 15:88-94

Erin, did you get your Cubs jacket yet?

Floofy is very darned passionate with her kitty litter.  She loves to kick sand around everywhere, and if there's a poop present, she likes to hurl as far away as possible as if she were throwing a Hail Mary.  I think her daughters are afraid to use the cat box because of her.

Oh Erin, that's a beautiful place and beautiful photo.  I'll have to admit that I have no desire to travel at all.  I've had my fill of travel.  If I were to travel, it would only be to please my wife.  But let's keep it well-planned and systematic.  I'm building a tourist attraction here.

Natty, I was only teasing you when I called you my little girl, so please don't be mad at me.  You are a grown woman, and ravishingly beautiful.  Do you speak French?  I assume that since you're from Canada, you are fluent in French.  And France is precisely where you should be, because I get to tout it as the fashion capital of the world.  Because of you.  Perhaps you are intimidated by the power of this music.  The power of music is actually the power of God, that's why I keep telling you to pray.

However, my source tells me that Italy is the place for you to be right now Pina.  You're in the right place at the right time, so make the most of it.  Stay clean, and don't get greedy.  You're a cool cat, Pina.  You're probably the coolest cat of the 4 of us.

Cooking to feed others

Floofy is a fat cat.  Which is OK with me, because I love fat cats.  Fat cats, unlike fat humans, are cute.  She's the only cat I allow into my bedroom, because she's very well behaved usually.  Of course she has her own cat bowl in my bedroom.  A nice one, made of stainless steel.  However, the ants are wise to the fact that there is cat food there, so I can't leave food in the bowl at all times.  Ants don't usually work at night or when it rains, but when it comes to Floofy's cat bowl, the ants work 24/7.  So I only leave food in the bowl when she asks for it.  She takes a couple of pellets, then I have to put the food back in the jar.  Of course she does this over and over again throughout the day, but that's OK because I love her.  Today she got some poop tangled up with the long hairs around her butt hole again, then she chose that moment to perch herself on top of my cooler.  So I had to put her down on the floor, stick her head in my crotch and pin her down with my thighs to keep her from struggling while I pull the poop off with some toilet paper.

My Mom finally caught the flu, after everyone else had it earlier.  This put her out of action and my Dad can't cook to save his life, so I cooked some food to feed my parents.  Today I cooked fried rice for lunch, and curry pups for dinner.  And I just made rice gruel with chicken for tomorrow morning.  I took a snapshot of my portion of the fried rice I made.  I had already eaten some of it before it occurred to me that I had to take a photo, so please excuse me.  I'm still organizing my inventory in Second Life, so no snapshots of my dancing yet.

Natty, you're looking so cosmopolitan and Euro!  You're becoming so high-class.  I think it's all that globetrotting you've been doing recently.  My little girl is growing up!  **sob**  Such a beautiful girl.

Hi Pina!  Are you hungry?

It's been a long time

And I want to make it forever.  I love you, my darling.  My love for you is forever, for I believe in forever.  It's easy for me to wait until Allah gives me the means to marry you, and I would wait until the next life if I have to.  But I have faith that it won't take that long.  When the time comes inshaAllah, things will move along and come together briskly.  In this world, there are many reasons to die, but you are my reason to live.  I need you to be patient and keep yourself safe, protect yourself and keep healthy.  Please pray.

White flowers today

Old man Abraham received some guests one day.  They came to his house and said "Peace!", but he didn't know who they were so he said, "We are afraid of you!"  They told him not to be afraid, because they bring good news that he will have a good and wise son.  Abraham said, "Are you telling me that I'm old?  What kind of news is that?"  They said, "We give you good news in truth, so don't despair!"  Abraham replied, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except those who are astray."  Then he asked them, "What is your business, o messengers?"  They replied, "We have been sent to a sinful people, except the followers of Lot whom we will certainly save."  They added, "Except his wife, who we have ascertained will be among those who lag behind."

Natty, you're back in China?  Those are cute glasses you have!  It's so wonderful of you honey, to share your adventures with us.  Please post as often as possible, so we know you are having fun and staying safe.

And Pina, what can I get for you to even it up?  You're such a nowhere girl, that it's hard to even get a few words through to you.  So I hope you don't mind if I take my time with you.

I had white flowers in my noodles today.  Kale flowers are white.  Also, I'm currently organizing my inventory, so you won't find me dancing away.  NCI Kuula isn't a dance club anyway, but rather a greeting place for new residents.  But they have the best dance ball I've ever found in Second Life.  Here I have a snapshot of my opening boxes for my inventory at the public sandlot.

How's it going?

Erin, Natty, and Pina.  I've been sick lately but I was able to work as usual even though my singing was below average, as you probably can tell.  Today my Mom gave me some cough syrup which had some sort of opiate in it, and I was out for the count all day.  I did voice training as usual, but I had to take a nap every 20 minutes.  So I apologize for the lack of research and development in today's letter.  I hope you are doing great, and I'll try to write a more useful letter tomorrow.

Love, Zam.
