Monday

 Hi Natty!  How ya doin' Honey?  Is everything nice and easy for you over there?  I hope so.  I feel much better than I did yesterday.  Yesterday was a busy morning, and I don't like mornings in general.  Too much labor in the morning can leave me useless for the rest of the day, and couple that with lack of sleep...  I have been staying up past bedtime lately, listening to music or watching movies.  I thought it would put me to sleep, but it didn't.  Then I had to do the usual tossing and turning before falling asleep.  I like to do shoulder exercises while I'm tossing and turning.  Those are relaxing to do when I'm lying on my side.  But today I have more energy.  I cut the grass in the evening, and had a simple dinner.  I didn't stay up too late last night, I did my tossing and turning right on schedule.  Anyway, on to the next item on my list.  I love you!

Gamer rage

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope everything is A OK over there for you.  You know, those beans yesterday never gave me gas.  Which gives me a theory, that if a food were done right then it won't give you stomach problems.  Which is obvious of course, but flavor is a factor as well.  I put some of those beans on my cheeseburgers for dinner.  You don't like beans, do you?  Nor burgers, right?  Well I plan to feed you with what you like, and teach you how to make them too.  InshaAllah.  I feel tired today.  Sundays are busy for me.  Did I ever tell you how much I admire your feet?  I can tell by your big toes how strong your feet are.  You could probably cling on to branches with your feet like a monkey.  I have bad feet and that makes my legs tired, so I was at half strength during Mary's set today.  I didn't feel like passing out though, thank God.  I need to be alert in case somebody tries to mess with Mary's emotions while she's trying to sing.

Beans

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope all is easy going for you.  Don't worry so much about saying the right thing all the time, just do your best.  And don't worry so much about eating what other people give you, just eat what you like but don't get bloated.  OK?  Easy, right?

People wonder if I or Mary choose the songs for them when they visit Mary at the karaoke joint while she's working.  We don't: the computer chooses what song Mary sings.  Sometimes she skips to the next song if the choice doesn't match the way she feels, but it's always the computer that makes the choice.  That's a clever computer, huh folks?  Praise be to Allah.

I cooked up a fresh batch of beans today.  I had a lot of drippings left over from when I last made roast beef, over a liter.  So I dumped that into the beans while cooking, and nothing else not even salt.  The beans were a success, with a sweetness that you would find in canned baked beans but without the sugar nor tomato paste.  Alhamdulillah.  I worked on hihat tracks in the evening for Shadowplay's next album, "Rise of the Horizon Creature" aka "Search for the Beast", and it was nice to have dinner all ready after.  All I had was beans with sliced bread.  Even the cat liked the beans.  In fact, Adolf Kitler got aggressive about my beans, but I let him lick the pot.  Lookie didn't care for the beans, though.

Qur'an 20210904

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

17.  In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary.  Say, "Who then has the least power against Allah if God's Will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother and all, everyone that is on the earth?"  For to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between.  God creates what God pleases.  For Allah has power over all things.

18.  The Jews and the Christians say, "We are sons of Allah, and God's beloved."  Say, "Why then does God punish you for your sins?"  No, you are but men, of the men God has created.  God forgives whom God pleases and God punishes whom God pleases, and to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between, and unto God is the final goal.

(The Repast 5:17-18)

Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope you feeling calm and relaxed, and enjoying the ride as you should be.  It's a fun ride, and you are a beautiful girl!  Tonight is movie night!  Do you want to watch a movie with me?  It's "Highlander" (1986).  If you had not seen this yet, I think you should be able to get into this movie being the Viking girl you are.  Your big brother, definitely.  Yeah it's another guy movie, I guess.  There's something about swordplay that most men like.

Not meaning to, I dressed up Mary's avatar in a medieval flavor.  Modern medieval, I suppose.  No sword, though.

The singers

 

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling?  Aw, don't you worry about a thing.  You're going to do just great, and everything will work out just awesome for us inshaAllah.  You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me, and I love you with all of my heart.  Please pray for us, OK?  We need to pray for us, and today we need to make a donation.  Please make a donation in the name of Allah of a minimum of one US dollar to a worthwhile charity.

My Jap kids videos have changed since the Olympics, notably that there aren't anymore teenage girls showing off their brand new cleavage.  Do you folks think that that is a good thing or a bad thing?  I think it is the right thing to do.

Boring food

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  I hope everything is going great for you. How's your appetite?  Too much boring food?  Boring food is good for you, for the most part.  I've been eating a lot of boring food lately, but my tummy is very pleased with me.  I don't mind it so much because I have so much stuff to do, that the compromise is not having to cook, therefore I get takeout, which is generally boring.  I don't know anybody here that sells truly exotic food.  I've never seen it around here, but I'm sure you would be able to find something over there in California.  Have you ever had alligator?  I can't get into the mentality of people who eat exotic foods, especially for adventure or for the camera.  I prefer to experiment with the normal stuff to make something different.  That reminds me, I have to make a hummus project for my Natty.  I'll get around to it inshaAllah.  Are you hungry?
