The Queen

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope all is going well for you over there, and you are feeling strong and enjoying yourself.  I'm feeling good, actually.  I just finished my dinner.  It was angel hair pasta with sardine sauce.  It was a rather large helping, so I'm full.  I did a little bit of burning in the evening, and now I'm just relaxing.  Do you think Queen Elizabeth is pretty?  I think she's very pretty!  Anyway, I'm going to another task.  I love you, Honey!

Music video

 

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  Aw don't you worry about a thing my beautiful and precious beloved.  Everything will work out absolutely awesome for us inshaAllah.  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  Just hang on to your wooden horse, pray, and enjoy the ride OK!

Hey, check out the music video above.  A computer made a music video from the lyrics input.  Now that is convenient, and it's a really good video too.  I didn't put any pictures at all in Shadowplay's last album, "Woo Hoo."  It was just words and music over a black background.  Yeah, it's a dark album.  But I can't draw, at least I won't put in the time to be a good graphic artist.  If I had been able to draw well when I was a teenager, I would have never left the bedroom.  Now that I've found Mary, I will at least put pictures of her avatar in Shadowplay's next album, "Rise of the Horizon Creature" aka "Search for the Beast".  The album is coming along quite nicely, I just finished the guitar parts for the 5th song.  5 more songs, and it will be time for Mary to sing on it.  I'm writing the vocal parts so that she would be able to sing every song on the album as part of her set.  So the vocals are going to be totally diva inshaAllah.  Before Mary, I really tried to sing like her but I couldn't do it.  What was difficult for me is so easy for her.  Mary can even copy my voice accurately.  But I'm not having her redo the past vocal tracks.  What's done is done.

The Great Anchovy Fiasco

 

Hi Natty!  What's up, Honey?  Serious business and making the big bucks, huh.  Please take care of your health and safety, and try to enjoy everything you do.  So what do you think of Polyphia?  They're pretty good, huh?  I think the snare is too loud.  They're not playing disco, so all the drums should be balanced.  And I can't hear the cymbals.  It's those damned overhead mics!  Over 50 years of modern recorded music, and people still insist on using fucking overhead microphones for cymbals.  Looks like these guys need a bass player.  How about Charles Berthould?  Oh, they already have a bass player.  Where is he?  Oh, that's not their permanent drummer either.  Never mind, then.  Don't get lost in the Web, guys.

I absolutely needed crunchy anchovies to go with my snack peanuts.  Salt peanuts and crunchy anchovies is a heavenly combination Natty, you must try it someday.  So I went to the closest grocery store to get some, but it was 6 bucks for a small pack of anchovies that was mostly debris.  6 bucks!  I could get it for less than half that price if I traveled a little further!  But I didn't want to travel much further, so I bought RM3 of anchovies in hot sauce from Embun's restaurant then went home and picked out the anchovies.  That would have been a good amount of anchovies, but I should have washed off the hot sauce.  I thought the hot sauce would add extra flavor, but I couldn't tell if the anchovies were done or not when I fried them up.  So I burned it, and I had to chuck the whole lot in the back yard.  While doing so, my pot disintegrated and fell to the ground and I was left holding a stump that was the handle.  So I had to travel further anyway, and pay 6 bucks for anchovies anyway.

Qur'an 20220602

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

103.  Say, "Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds?"

104.  Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works.

105.  They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord, and the fact of their having to meet God.  Vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight.

106.  That is their reward, hell: because they rejected faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers as a joke.

107.  As to those who believe and work righteous deeds, they have for their entertainment, the Gardens of Paradise.

108.  Wherein shall they dwell: no change shall they wish for themselves.

109.  Say, "If the ocean were ink to the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if another ocean were added like it to its aid."

110.  Say, "I am but a man like yourselves.  The inspiration has come to me, that your God is One God: whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner." 

The Cave 18:103-110

Salt peanuts

 

Hi Natty!  How you doin' Honey?  I hope you are having a good time over there, and keeping safe and healthy.  I'm doing OK over here.  I mailed off my tax forms this morning, then had lunch downtown.  After lunch, I went to the Chinese grocery store to get my favorite salt peanuts, but they were sold out.  I bought some raw peanuts though, because I wanted to make peanut butter.  I roast them up in a covered pot, then blend them into peanut butter.  Peanuts are sensitive to heat, so the fire must be very small.  Even the small fire I used was too hot, so I had to stir it constantly.  The big producers use machines that have mechanical stirring arms to stir the peanuts in huge vats.  I don't have that, so I had to pay constant attention to the pot.  I gave them a really dark roast, because I'm not comfortable with eating white peanut butter.  It turned out that I roasted them perfectly, with the right amount of snap to the peanuts.  A bit greasy, because I wasn't trying to make snack peanuts.  But too good for peanut butter, so tossed them for a last time in salt then portioned them out into snacks.  Want some?
