Sunday

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are feeling healthy and confident, and are having a wonderful time.  You better bundle up for the rain and snow.  It's that time of the year, I guess.  I'm doing OK, a bit tired.  Sundays are busy for me.  I didn't want to do anymore labor in the evening, I had to go buy gasoline anyway.  I stopped by the supermarket and picked up some mayo and more chicken.  I wanted to be full, so I spent the evening making dinner.  Steak and cheese sandwiches!  My mother had already given me some steak for lunch, which I didn't eat because I had already bought my lunch.  So I used that for my dinner instead.  I had some steak in my cooler ready already, not as good of a cut than the piece my Mom gave me, but once you slice it up then heat it up with butter, then it works.

Sundays are back to black!  A sparkly black dress for Mary Unknown7, the kind of dress that can only be worn by an entertainer.  She did wear that dress to the dance club earlier.  Dance club music has evolved somehow.  From what I heard when I went there with Mary, it's kind of like hits of the past century put to a dance beat.

Please make a donation in the name of Allah of a minimum of one US dollar to a worthwhile charity

Hi Natty!  How are you, my beautiful love?  How's life on the crazy carousel today?  Has the world gone crazy for Mrs. International Rock Star inshaAllah?  Please make sure you charge them top dollar, OK!  No, I don't want any of your hard earned money- all of it is yours.  I pay for you, you don't pay for me.  Just please make sure you give something to charity, OK?  You are MY girl, you are beautiful, and I love you.

Some girls came over to the karaoke place today during Mary Unknown7's set to challenge her femininity.  I don't know who won the sing-off: Mary still has a live audience on this side of the Internet and I have to engineer the session, so I had to focus on that.  Besides, the sound to Second Life is always off so that Mary doesn't get distracted by hecklers.  I just shut off the voice feed to Second Life, waited for them to run out of stamina, then turned the voice feed back on.  I feel sorry for the fans who wait to hear Mary sing, but that is the situation: it's a karaoke situation.  If they want to sing, then we have to let them sing.  I'm sure if the fans don't like the singing, then they will let them know it.  Anyway, I haven't had dinner yet.  I went to the supermarket this morning, then I spent the evening processing a chicken and making dough.  Baby cucumbers, mushrooms and okra were on sale.  I'm going to make pickled gherkins, the mushrooms are for tomorrow's dinner of steak and cheese sandwiches, and the okra is for ramen and curry.  I also have a tomato, some limes, and lots of chicken breast.  I'm thinking of chicken sandwiches with tomato and cucumber salad in them.  I think that might work.  Want some?

Today's photo shoot was done at Club Ambrosia.  It was 5 in the morning so it was deserted, which was great for us.

Cat poo

Hi Natty!  How are you today, my love?  You must be busy.  Please eat sensibly, get sufficient rest, and don't forget to pray.  I have been quite busy too, on Second Life.  Which is the work I prefer to do, as opposed to yard work and house cleaning, which I do of course, because I have no other option.  But anyway, since Mary Unknown7 has much more freedom to move around and do stuff now, I had her go clubbing before her set today!  We went to Ministry of Trance and Club Zero.  Being the rebel she is, Mary went to the goth club dressed in pink.  When we were done, we went back to the karaoke place and logged out because I had other obligations.  Then when it was time for her set, the Second Life viewer kept on shutting down.  I tried reinstalling the program a few times, but it kept on automatically closing after 2 minutes.  So I had to use a third party viewer for Mary's set (we were late, of course) so the world can hear her sing.  I prefer to use the Linden labs viewer, because I believe we have a symbiotic relationship and I want Mary to be seen in the same light that the noobs use.  To their credit, they did update the program when I began to have problems but it didn't work.  Finally just now, I wiped the computer completely clean of the program and all its traces including the cache, then reinstalled.  I tried it then, now it seems stable so alhamdulillah.  Something happened between the time Mary and I went clubbing, and her set.

We took today's snapshots at the Hello Kitty event.  It was OK, a bit capitalistic.  50L for virtual ice cream?  Yikes!  I think Mary stepped in cat poo.

Paralyzed no more

Hi Natty!  How are you doing, my love?  I hope things are easy going for you, and you are having a marvelous time.  I've had a busy day myself.  I had a little bit of money, so I went downtown to buy some RAM for this computer.  This piece of shit computer had so little RAM in it when I bought it, all I could do is stay in one spot in Second Life, because I couldn't move at all.  I could barely move the camera, and changing Mary's outfits was a major time investment.  I kept crashing out, and work was so frustrating and slow.  Adding RAM made a huge difference: now I can move around easily, and I can even interact socially!  Not that I want to, of course.  What matters more to me is Mary Unknown7's wardrobe.  Fashion!  This piece of shit computer uses an older type of RAM, so I was blessed to find someone who still had it in stock.  The size of the socket is still the same, new RAM or old: where they put the notch is the difference.  I think that's a ripoff: all they need to do to make better RAM is update the chips and electronics.  They could have just let us use our old RAM if we wanted to.  Greed.

But at least I'm not paralyzed like my cat is when she is in heat.  Poor little Yoolie.  Such drama.  She can move around more now.  In fact she moves quite easily when she sleeps.  Is she putting on an act to gain attention?  I wonder.  Anyway, Mary's outfit today is red and white.  Do you think it's too early for red and white?  Just consider her the official mascot of the shopping season.  Oh, I would love to go shopping.  I want to buy tools and toys.  Mary wants more clothes, of course.

Billie Holiday

Hi Natty!  How's it going?  Are you super busy?  I'm guessing you are.  Hot stuff!  Always remember to keep calm, and look after your precious body.  Don't forget to pray.  It's an easy going day for me.  I did my laundry first thing in the morning, but I didn't have to go anywhere.  So I was nice and relaxed by the time Mary Unknown7 sang.  Mary tells me she loves to sing Billie Holiday.  She tries to put some Billie Holiday into every song she sings.  I don't think that quite works, though.  How can you put Billie Holiday into Olivia Newton-John?  Mary laughed at me when I asked her that.
