How are you, Natty?  Of course I worry and think of you, because I love you and I will marry you inshaAllah.  Are you still in Venice Beach?  I know you love that place, and it sure has cleaned up over there the past few days, and it looks like the movies again.  Those unwanted people have to go somewhere, though.  Check out the video above.  Isn't it so convenient that those fights took place in front of cameras?  Plus you don't have to pawn video clips like that to the major networks anymore.  Social media has a wider range and a more immediate response.  What matters to me Honey, is that you keep yourself safe and healthy until the time comes when I can fetch you inshaAllah.  Staying put at a safe and familiar place may be boring to you.  Then again, it may not be.

Qur'an 20210526

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

189.  They ask you concerning the new moons.  Say, "They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in men and for the Hajj."  It is no virtue if you enter your houses from the back: it is virtue if you fear God.  Enter houses through the proper doors, and fear Allah, that you may prosper.

(The Heifer 1:189)

Blueberry

 

Bah, I knew it was a setup!  But there was nothing I could do about it but play along.  Hey Natty, check out the above video.  If you didn't already notice, the moment you got your Masters is when they got rid of all the homeless on the Boardwalk.  Oh, it might be a coincidence.  But this is the entertainment business.  It's not your fault Honey, it's me they're after, if that were the case.  So if anyone questioned you or gave you grief about the matter, just point to me and say, "Go ask him about it.  He is my husband inshaAllah."

Precision

 

Hi Natty!  Wassap Honey?  I hope all is well for you over there, wherever that is right now.  I just got done with dinner.  My Mom bought me some takeout rice, which is great because I didn't have to cook.  Thanks Mom!  I love you!  Yeah it's great I didn't have to cook, because I had to cut the grass.  Tomorrow is laundry day, and I want to chuck my grass cutting outfit in the wash.  There's a type of mango in the garden called a "kuinin".  I don't eat the thing, I'm turned off by the scent it's very strong.  I'm sure it doesn't lack for sweetness because my mother loves the fruit, and she is a notorious sweet tooth.  But she is sworn off mangoes this season, because they make her cough.  So the fruit fell to the ground, and there's a lot of them.  That's where I had to cut the grass.  One would think the weed whacker would spray its debris in a random fashion, but no.  All the rotten fruit went straight towards my mouth.  Now THAT is precision.

Amy Winehouse?  Only by accident.

Beauty and the Beast

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope everything is going well for you post grad, and you are having a great time.  Please keep safe and healthy for us!  I'm just kicking back here after a busy Sunday.  I just finished dinner.  Fries of course!  With a burger.  It's the simple stuff that my tummy loves.  Don't get me wrong, I love to experiment.  But lately the music has been overwhelming, and I like to have a healthy tummy to help me weather it all.

People may wonder which of the current chick singers that I like best.  First off is Aubrey Logan.  Mostly because of that trombone.  That trombone elevates her from great to greater.

Another is Angelina Jordan.  Like wow, that's a little girl!  But I said this before, child singers have a terrible time maintaining their sanity.  I don't know of any child singer who stayed active until they got old, do you?  Maybe Stevie Wonder.  I think the Got Talent circuit really messed with Angelina's heart.  Which is ironic, because Norway's Got Talent was her debut.  Angelina, this is the Internet Age!  You don't need people like Simon Cowell!  Just be yourself!

Meatballs

 

Hi Natty!  How are you , Honey?  Keeping busy?  Please keep yourself safe and healthy.  I love you!  It would be another average day here for me, but I've been short on sleep because I'm suddenly into doing some programming.  Just out of the blue, I guess.  So I'm tired and slightly cranky, but I can't fall asleep because my mind is active.  I planned to make curry pups for dinner but when the time came to cook, I just couldn't be bothered.  I bought takeout lunch today for the same reason.  So I had ground beef and potatoes ready, instead of curry pups I made beef and potato meatballs.  I hardly ever make meatballs.  The only times I made meatballs was when I had some of my home made halal beef sausage ready (from making pizza) to roll into meatballs to plop into simmering hot marinara sauce and use as spaghetti sauce.  My beef and potato meatballs were OK.  Needs some fine tuning, but acceptable as they are.  Do you eat meatballs?

Oh!  I need a nap!  Gotta go!

There were some collisions at the wrists with Mary's outfit today, but these snapshots were so good I had to keep them, imperfections and all.

Kitty litter

 

Hi Natty!  How's it going today, Honey?  How's your tummy?  Want some fries?  Fries are the best!  I became a fries addict over last Ramadan.  I can't handle smoothies though, I'm sorry.  When we make smoothies, you're going to have to eat all of it.  I manage to finish the task I begun yesterday.  All I had to do was hacksaw a branch stump, then I was able to use some industrial power cable to twist that heavy branch to break.  Now it's away from the perimeter with the neighbor's yard and won't accumulate creepers, plus it's easier for me to break down and burn.

A lot of the locals here are very fanatical about their cats for some reason.  Seriously, it's almost like a religious cult.  I remember once there was a cat show, and it was packed full of people.  Then I saw people touching and petting the cats, since then there has never been another cat show here.  It goes to say that cat products here are very profitable.  There several varieties of local cat food, and a couple of local brands of clay kitty litter that sell out consistently.  Yesterday I went to get some kitty litter, and there was none except for expensive Siamese stuff, and too little of it.  I asked the girl, "Where's all the kitty litter?"  She showed me some Tidy Cat hiding under a shelf.  So Lookie and Adolf Kitler have to use Tidy Cat now, and none of that local stuff.  I don't like these forced endorsements, but I guess it's only kitty litter.

Hey, it looks like MonoNeon has jumped on the bandwagon of putting music to rants!
