Whew!  These extra workouts are very taxing on one's heart.  Just primping myself in readiness for you, my love.  Wow, you are beautiful.  I guess my idea is to keep the blood flowing, as to avoid and combat atrophy,  One thing's for sure, I cannot be subjected to a lot of physical labor in the morning as it affects my singing in the afternoon.  You know those frogs you hear in singers' throats?  That's mostly fatigue.  Like the stereotype goes, I need to be lazing about and taking it easy before I sing.  And this singing is mashaAllah my, yours, and many other people's bread and butter.  How are you doing, Honey?  How's business?  I hope everything is going nice and dandy for you.

Hey Natty Honey!  Wassap, beautiful girl?  Today the computer wants you to watch a foreign film.  Well, over here it's local.  "Seniman Bujang Lapok" from 1961.  It features one of the treasured national artistes, P. Ramlee.  Who by the way, was ostracized and abandoned when he died at the age of 44.  I've watched this movie many times since I was a kid, and it doesn't seem to me to have a plot.  Nobody lives in those kind of long houses around here anymore.  Few people now queue up to use the outhouse and washroom, if any.  But the clothes and the aura are still the same today, outside the city.  You are blessed that I found one on YouTube with subtitles, but I doubt you would be able to follow this movie because many of the jokes are ethnic or insider, so I included its Wikipedia.

Yet another average day

Hi Honey!  What's going on?  What are you up to?  It's another average day for me.  It's Sunday, so I had to clean my mother's bedroom as usual.  I have increased my exercise regimen, you know, trying to turn back the hands of time and such, but it's wearing me out and house cleaning always makes me grumpy.  But I just had a big dinner, and that mellowed me out a bit.  Sometimes it's nice to be full.  Nothing special tough, just chili and pocket bread.  After this I have to set up my microphone for some vocal takes, then I'm off to the mosque.  After that, I have to get on Second Life.  You may have noticed that I'm back at the dance clubs.  And that's the way the story goes...

Hi Natty Honey!  Are you being a good girl and staying out of trouble?  Today my beautiful young movie star, the computer wants you to watch another Bruce Lee movie.  From 1973, "Enter The Dragon".  This movie made him an international superstar, but he died right before the premiere.  Ironic, huh?  Irony or business?  He was such a tough guy too.  This is another macho martial arts movie, but it's on YouTube!  For now.  People seek reward in this life, but with Allah is the reward in this life and the hereafter.

Uh oh

Hi Honey!  What are you up to?  Please be a good girl.  Please be a good girl, and don't overwork.  After months of weaning Floofy off solid cat food, it seems that she has accepted her new food regimen.  But alas, what was once accepted is now rejected.  What was once palatable is now poop.  What I do is mix a can of cat food with steamed rice, which makes her stool soft so I add a few pellets of the dry cat food to balance it out, and it worked.  But she is fussy about the canned cat food.  In the beginning all was acceptable, now she only wants one flavor out of one brand.  Which shall of course remain unnamed, lest it sells out.  Damned Public Eye.  So I had to chuck out an entire batch of food (I couldn't give it to the other cats because they would get diarrhea), then go to the supermarket for a can of cat food.  If I don't have that cat food, then I'm going to have to soak the dry stuff in water before I serve it to her.  I hope that works.  Fussy eaters.  But I love her, so I go out of my way for her food.

Hey Natty Honey!  How's it going?  You be a good girl too, OK?  Sorry I don't have a movie for you today.  Right now, I'm working on my libido and trying to figure out how to con my body into going back a few decades.  I guess I've been too immaterial or something.  I guess when I get married inshaAllah, I'll turn into a drug addict.  Unless I can figure out other options before then.

Qur'an 20180414

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

7.  The unbelievers think that they will not be raised up.  Say, "Yes by my Lord, you shall surely be raised up, then shall you be told of all that you did.  And that is easy for Allah."

The Stranger

I guess I shouldn't have eaten all those steak and cheese sandwiches last night.  You should have had one.  I should have eaten 2, tops.  Thus my night became hotter than usual, I overslept, and I felt sluggish all morning.  I finally woke up from sleepwalking after voice training, when I cleared out the scrub around your house inshaAllah.  So for dinner tonight, I had one cheeseburger.  Just one.  With an egg in it.  How was your day today, Honey?  I hope things are going absolutely great for you.

Hey Natty Honey!  So what, no kiss?  I am growing a patch of mint right now, maybe when it gets big enough I'll have a mint salad for dinner.  Then perhaps my morning breath would turn out OK.  The computer wants you to watch "High Plains Drifter" from 1973.  This is one of my Top 10 favorite movies of all time.  Such a perfect movie.  The only flaw is that the sweaty cowboys had perfect teeth.  How you would you like to kiss THAT morning breath?

Guess which one is the guilty cat!

 

 

 

Steak and cheese sandwiches

Why can't you ever starve in a desert?  Because of the sand which is (sandwiches) there!  That's an old joke I remember from when I was about 7 years old which I read in a Beano.  Hi Honey!  How's work?  I made steak and cheese sandwiches for dinner, you want some?  First you have to cook the steak.  I used beef that I trimmed off veal ribs, then I marinated it overnight in soy sauce and sugar.  Then I pan fried it dry at first, then added butter, and the marinade last after I pulled the steak out.  I like it medium rare, and since it's veal it's tender.  I stirred up the juices left in the pan, then put it aside in  a cup while I sauteed onions in the same pan.  I could not find any fresh oyster mushrooms today, so I had to slice up some canned champignon mushrooms to add in the pan.  That was a bit of a letdown.  I sliced up the steak as thinly as possible.  Then the bread slices, mayo, black pepper, pile the chopped steak on, the onions and mushrooms on top of the steak, pour the juices over it (not too much or it will get too salty!) and a slice of cheese last.  Bake it in the oven until the bread is brown and the cheese melts.  Oooh since you weren't here for dinner, I had to eat them all.  Yes, all 4.  I admit I got a bit greedy there.  But it was good.

Hey Natty Honey!  How's life treating you?  Do you want a steak and cheese sandwich?  It's as good as pizza!  Oh sorry, I ate them all!

 

Just another average day

Hi Honey!  How are you today?  I hope you are feeling great, and business is running smoothly for you.  It's just another day here for me.  I cleaned my house and did my laundry, and had liver and onions with scrambled eggs for lunch.  I had rice for dinner at Ina's, then went to buy some snacks and a loaf of bread.  I got caught in the rain on the way home, but not too badly.  Maybe I'll have bread and butter and sugar sandwiches for dessert later.

Hey Natty Honey!  How's it going with you?  I hope you are having fun, and doing well.  The computer wants you to watch another movie today.  From 1946, "Sherlock Holmes- Dressed To Kill".  This one is on YouTube!
