No thanks

 Oh great.  Now Lookie is going into heat, and both she and Lily are howling up a duet in the kitchen as I type this letter.  No cat can howl like Lookie: she should join a death metal band.  She's been copying Mary Unknown7 (or maybe it's vice versa), she has a high pitched voice and really puts her emotions into her screams.  Lily tries to match Lookie's passion, but she can't keep up.  I hope you don't scream like that, Natty.

Oh hi, Natty!  I'm glad you're enjoying yourself in California.  I always knew you would love that place, especially since you have money to spend.  That's a smart camera shot, I can't see anyone sleeping on the streets.  If you're planning to move to California and open up shop there, you better not become too wealthy.  I found this on the Internet, I thought it might interest you:

I have no interest in living in California.  Even if I were wealthy, I wouldn't even want to visit let alone live there.  Why bother, I can get my toys delivered nowadays.  Plus, I'm definitely not star struck.  If I were your age and had lots of money, perhaps I would live in California.  But that's 29 years too late for me.  They really should have snagged me when they had the chance.  As it is right now, forget it.

More cat chaos

 !!!PARENTAL WARNING!  TODAY'S POST CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS!!!

Hi Natty!  Oh, what is that vibe you speak of?  What I can sense is a relaxed, intellectual vibe.  But perhaps you forgot to put imagination into it.  With a pumped up imagination there is fantasy, and the vibe can be that of innuendo and lust.  That's not what I'm feeling at this moment.  Right now, I feel tedious and annoyed.  Because of more cat chaos.

Last Ramadan, someone dumped a couple of kittens by my mother's bedroom window.  I feel bad for abandoned babies for some reason, so I took them in.  It's almost Ramadan again, and Lily and her brother Bro aka Adolf Kitler are now fully grown.  They are very close to each other, and love each other very much.  Lily is now in heat, and Adolf is more than willing to ease her suffering by having sex with her.  Thus I have to keep them separated without releasing Adolf into the wild as I know he is a very valuable kitty.  Connected to my door is a large cage where I park my motorcycle at night to keep it out of sight.  That is where Adolf spends most of his time now.  The females I keep inside, but I still need to get in and out of the house.  So I put the females in the kitty litter room whenever I need to go outside, and they pretty much stay in there until I get back in.  Every move I make going in and out of the house has to be meticulously prepared, because Adolf Kitler has a very fast gun and he can shoot it before I can blink.  Plus my sight isn't that great to begin with.  Bah.  Just thinking about it makes me irritated and tired.

Streaming trouble

 I'm sorry folks, but today the stream I normally use wasn't working.  The good news is that the stream at the karaoke joint is working fine, so I used that.  The address is server2.luschaudio.com:9208  So what about this "free-shoutcast.com"?  What should I do with this guy, folks?  I tested the stream just now, and it was working OK.  I think he wants money but then again, who doesn't?  Let's just play it by ear for now.  If the usual stream isn't working, then please tune into the karaoke stream.

Hi Natty!  How are you today, my love?  Oh, I've seen that picture already!  You look like a beautiful college student.  What's on the menu today?  I wanted to make tacos using soy meat for dinner, so that's what happened with me.  I used soy meat, fried onions and cheese.  It was acceptable and not weird, I'm sure my stomach will give it a passing grade.  It would have been better with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo but I didn't want to go out.

Rest a little

 

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  I hope you are feeling calm and well.  I expect the past couple of weeks have been stressful for you, even though you may not have done much of anything except stress out.  I gave myself the evening off, and had an early dinner.  Nothing special, just rice with eggs, crunchy anchovies, and spicy bitter beans that I got from the restaurant.  I may have seemed cavalier to you the past couple of weeks, but my heart did take a beating.  I can feel it in my elbow.  I didn't tell you this, but Lookie had a diarrhea crisis (from canned cat food), so I gave her a small dose of diarrhea pills that I bought from the pharmacy (since she spat out the syrup).  It stopped the diarrhea yeah, but it made her hallucinate.  It was such a tiny dose too, and I felt so bad.  She's OK now alhamdulillah, but it took a week of psycho kitty and now she's tail down during meal times.  No more soft foods for Lookie: she's back to eating kibble.  I took her off kibble a long time ago (because of her mother) so that all the cats eat the same food, but I learned my lesson.  Every cat of mine has a special need.

Meow

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  Trying to regain sanity?  We're all crazy here.  Well, I hope you get a grip enough to keep social distancing amidst this pandemic.  I do that naturally of course, but tomorrow is Friday prayer and I have to be there.  Otherwise, today seemed pretty normal.  Nothing new on the menu.  In the evening, I did some burning.  There were a lot of coconut husks on the ground.  The air is still to day for some reason, but that made it a perfect day for burning.

Oh, meow?  Yeah, cats.  Cats have been with me for most of my life.  I can't seem to live without them.  They offer companionship, and they keep my house free from vermin.  And they rule the Internet.

Smoothies, huh?

Let's see what YouTube has to offer on the subject:

This one was on the top of the search results.  I don't think my stomach can handle smoothies, Natty.  I can only swallow so much fruit.  I guess I'm not as fruity as people think I am.  That's because they get me confused with Mary Unknown7.  Sure, why not?  All the easier for me to protect her.  I'll masquerade as Mary if I have to, I've done so many times already, especially to get rid of the jerks.  She's just a voice on the radio, folks.  Anyway, strawberries are expensive and sour around here.  I would have to add sugar to them, but they are available.  Watermelon is common here, and can be really sweet and juicy, but I don't know until I open them up.  Plus it would seem to me that I would have to blot out the excess water.  I guess I can try making smoothies, but I wouldn't be able to consume too much of them.  It will be mango season in 3 months time, just in time for Ramadan.  Bananas are in season all year round, and I have tons of them growing in the yard.  When I get around to making them, I'll take a photo and post it here inshaAllah.  I guess I need the practice, huh?  I don't think I can eat them, though.

For those of you who are experts at Second Life, I took these snapshots without ALM.  That's because the skirt panel changed color, and didn't match.  Some of those older clothes are really gorgeous, but you need to tweak them sometimes to get the best look and fit.

 

Ratholes

 Hi Natty!  How are you doing over there?  Are you keeping your social distancing amidst the pandemic?  Hm... the local Covid cases has increased sharply since they implemented the latest lockdown.  This tells me that people saw Perlis as a green zone and fled here, bringing the disease along with them.  But I thought that they closed the state borders!  Oh well, corruption is a workaholic.  Corruption knows no pandemic, and they don't appear to have the means to plug all the ratholes from the south.  I wonder if they're going to cancel this week's Friday prayer...

I believe the primary super spreader is large amounts of people crammed together in poorly ventilated spaces like offices, prisons, labor hostels etc.  This includes large families living together in stuffy houses.  What's the solution for that?  It can't be possible to have everyone work and live in open fields with giant fans pumping?  And just because you ventilate your space doesn't mean you're not going to get an overwhelming dose of the virus?  The most practical solution seems to be social distancing, even in personal spaces.  The offices, prisons, labor hostels may have to operate in open fields...  Oh no, it might rain again!
