Hi Honey! Are you feeling more relaxed today? The weekends must be very hectic for a Sports Princess like you, so I hope you are taking your time to enjoy your success, and to get lots of rest. It's Monday today. Well, it's the same old day to me, I have to work everyday, but this morning I got done with my chores early, so I was able to take an early nap before voice training. After this, I'll be heading out to the mosque to pray the night prayer with the congregation. How are your emotions? Don't be sad, because I love you and I will marry you inshaAllah. Be optimistic, and pray.
Hey Natty honey! You must be a busy girl. But I suppose you do have your nights free. I made BBQ chicken burritos with mushrooms for dinner. I love the mushrooms that are available here. Big, fat, juicy, meaty, fragrant, white oyster mushrooms. They really blossom when the weather is wet. I picked some up at the night market just now. Cheap, too. What are you having for dinner, anyway? You don't show us your food. I guess they have to pay for your endorsement, huh?

Turmeric
Erin, you're so busy! Honey, please make sure you get sufficient rest and eat properly. Everyone wants to see my girl. Everyone wants to see how beautiful she is. And she is beautiful. Yes, you do have a doll face, Honey. I love you. I've been busy all morning myself. Sunday I have to clean my mother's bedroom, then I had other stuff to do plus cook my lunch. I didn't get much of a nap before voice training. I'm sure you feel the same way I do, that it's so hard to control emotions when exhausted. The other day, I harvested some turmeric for my Mom. Turmeric is a root used as a curry spice, it's the spice that gives curry its yellowness. I noticed that turmeric shoots were similar to scallions, maybe slightly chewier but not as chewy as lemongrass. I have turmeric growing in pots in my yard. It's the kind of plant I like, where I just leave it alone and it grows like mad. Here's what it looks like:
Here's what the root looks like. You have to peel it then grind it to use as a spice. The locals mix it with salt to flavor meats. It turns everything yellow: fingers, knives, cutting boards, you name it. It doesn't wash off easily, either. I don't recommend using it as chewing gum!
So I decided to use the turmeric shoots instead of scallions in my fried rice. I used the turmeric and salt combo to flavor the fried rice. It did turn out very flavorful. And yellow. Would you like to try some?
Hi Natty Honey! I suppose you are busy too. That's great, Honey. Make lots of money for yourself while you can. Make sure you look after your health, and don't forget to pray. Today the computer wants you to watch "Gentlemen prefer Blondes" (1953) featuring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. Jane Russell was a big star when this movie was made, and beautiful too. But when put side by side to Marilyn Monroe, she comes across like a drag queen. Marilyn is much more relaxed and uninhibited than Jane, and a more graceful dancer too. With bouncity-bounce! Judging from the title. it seems like a setup to have Jane Russell pair up with Marilyn Monroe. That's Hollywood for you. Watch and learn.
Today's theme is goth! I love this outfit! I think it's sooooo sexy. Do you agree?

Friends
Hi Honey! Are you busy today? Everybody wants to see how beautiful you are, so you must be busy. I'm usually quite busy everyday. Besides the usual chores, today I harvested some turmeric in the morning for my Mom, then did a lot of burning in the evening. I just had dinner- just plain old fry bread with curry, but you are more than welcome to share it with me.
If gangsters are active in this area, then it's because there is money to be made for them here. Usually gangs operate by theft or extortion. Motion sensors, sirens, and led floodlights would make theft more difficult. Extortion can only be handled by the police. If the cops don't take care of extortion, it means weakness in the local government, possibly bribery. Which means weakness in the people who voted for them. But if you let the gangs do what they want, then the gangs become the government. Allah does not love cowards.
Hey Natty Honey! It was very sweet of you to say that. Yes, fans are friends. I've spent 38 years as an independent musician, and I'm still alive. God keeps on saving my life for some reason, so God has been my only friend for the most part. Alhamdulillah. I don't really blame the fans. The music wasn't that great in the beginning, because I was young and filled with anger. Now that I'm older, Allah has helped me control my emotions so as to make the music better. This is especially true with singing. I didn't achieve consistency with my singing until after I finished "Woo Hoo". I suppose that album needed the anger and loss of control.

Gangsters!
Hi Honey! How are you today? I hope you are having lots of fun, just being you and how beautiful you are. I am sitting here waiting for my shepherd's pie to bake. Want some? The last pie I made was a success, but I simply cannot eat shepherd's pie with ketchup. You would think that would be OK, but I have a weird sensitive stomach, where bad combinations result badly, even though the individual components are mild. No, I don't get it either. It has to be one of those cases where the stomach and the mind have a deep connection. Anyway, today's pie is just beef and potatoes, no veggies. Too lazy to go out and buy veggies. Tear in your beer, my darling? Please remain sober for our marriage inshaAllah.
Hey Natty Honey! What an excellent presentation that is. Of course you would look absolutely great in a pantsuit. Quite distinguished, actually. I can't really tell what shoes you're wearing, but I'm guessing those are high heels. Quite understated, but the clothes totally shine. No Honey, you're not the gangster. I'm referring to a local situation. Want some shepherd's pie?
Red hair today!

It's just a sad song
Hi Erin! How are you today, Honey? Is work coming along easily for you? I hope so. Aw, don't be sad. It's only a song. I love you so much. I give my life to be married to you. Of course, I have to "be a man" and pay for my wife. And be a righteous man, inshaAllah. Please be patient with me, I feel that we are getting closer and closer to being married. Are you hungry? My food budget is very poor for August, but that also means that I will be eating very healthily. I do have some good food though that you may enjoy. I just made a batch of curry yesterday. It's a generic curry, you can add stuff to it or eat it by itself, which would make it a vegetarian curry. Well, I did add one piece of salt fish in it for extra flavor, plus there's belacan in it too. I make my own bread, which responds best to being deep fried. Simply because I don't have an oven at home that reaches 500 degrees. But my home made mini pocket breads are really good, and the curry is so flavorful that you only need a little dip at a time. Would you like to try some?
Hi Natty Honey! Are you excited? Oh the world is so widely open to you, more than any other girl or model you know. Because so many wacky things can happen, as the wife of a rock star. So don't write your life story yet, my dear. And don't bully your fellow models, either. Have tons of fun, and stay safe. OK?

The ballet
Hi Honey! How are you today? How are those ballet lessons coming along, by the way? I hope you are enjoying yourself. I've always wanted to be a good dancer, but it never worked out for me. Even before my feet grew 2 sizes from a foot injury, I wasn't a good dancer. I never took lessons, though. I love watching Astaire and Rogers. Fred Astaire is such an awesome dancer, and his style is so unique, it's like a combination of tap dance and ballet. But it's so much more mesmerizing to watch Astaire and Rogers together. So beautiful. Hey, maybe in the future we can figure out how to dance together. It's an ambitious project for me: my feet are hurting from merely cutting the grass just now. But I would love to try and dance with you, perhaps with patience we can make up our own routine.
Hi Natty honey! How are those ballet lessons coming along? Oh, you will do just fine if you stick to it! You have the willpower. Perhaps with enough time in toe shoes, you will learn to love high heels. Oh you can go ahead and wear Doc Martens if you want, Hiker Girl. Especially during your off hours. High heels are so mainstream for the glamorous movie stars, though. Or shall I say, "It's a mainstream expectation." I ALWAYS wear high heels. Well, my avatar always wears high heels. It's so handy to have an avatar. I get to be pretty too. My wife always hogs the "pretty" spotlight in real life. The computer wants you to watch "Stroszek" again. This is on YouTube, with English subtitles! Artsy girl.

Mangosteens
Hi Honey! Have you been busy? I do hope you take the time to unwind, and slow down your precious heart. I'm doing OK, just trying to adjust my emotions to a new singing situation. Do you like tropical fruit? Have you had the opportunity to try out exotic fruit? I think I know you like dragon fruit. I don't eat a lot of the local fruit. They're mostly too sweet for me, either a sickly sweet like jackfruit or fatty sweet like durian. But countless hordes are addicted to durians, including Americans, I am learning. But I do like mangosteens. Unlike how the name sounds, mangosteens don't taste like mangoes. With a texture like almost overripe peaches, and an equal level of sweet and tart, I really like mangosteens. If you look at the flesh segments, some are big and some are small. The small segments have no pits, the big ones have pits that you may or may not be able to swallow. I usually don't.
Hey Natty Honey! I saw the trailer for "Mamma Mia 2", and there are certainly some big stars in that movie. I can't imagine Meryl Streep's singing and dancing though (I'm trying not to). I promise to watch that movie I it's made available to me. So far it seems the movie is kind of like the story of your life. And your mamma. I don't have any Abba songs in my set list. I think maybe I'll add "Dancing Queen". Maybe. Today the computer wants you to watch "Selena" (1997). I don't speak Spanish or Mexican, I don't think I ever will, but somehow the life of my music intertwines with that culture. Erin, you should watch this movie too.
