Hairdo

 

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  I hope you are healthy and having a great time.  Don't be jealous of the kitty OK?  It's bloody hot over here.  I've been without air conditioning for many years already.  I didn't think I would ever get used to it, and I still haven't.  But the solution I found, is strong ventilation and plenty of cold showers.  Having short hair definitely helps.  I used to have very long hair right to my waist, but never again in this life.  Especially in this damned loathsome tropical climate.  Unfortunately, I haven't had a haircut since they started the last lockdown.  They relaxed the rules this week, and I finally got a haircut.  Nothing fancy, just short.  I haven't had a nice hairdo in decades, either.  What's the point.  An ugly man with a nice hairdo is still an ugly man.  Just look at the news.

I guess James Bond should get a better haircut, too:

Mary Unknown7 sported her Whitney hairdo today, but didn't sing one single Whitney song.  The computer chooses what song she sings next, so blame the computer for that.

Species confusion

 

Hi Natty!  That's a beautiful home!  It looks very well kept and loved.  Is that an orange tree in the back?  And you are looking fabulous and beautiful as usual.  I love the outfit and the colors.  I love you.

I'm worried about Lookie.  I don't think she knows how to be a cat.  In other words, she thinks she's human.  She was born in this house I live in now, and she's never left the house other than that one time I thought they were going to fumigate for Aedes mosquitoes.  But that was only for an hour, and she was in a cage in the yard.  Otherwise, she's been an indoors cat all her life.  It usually takes her about a week to get out of heat.  At that time, I barely touch her because there's a male cat in the house now.  When she's not in heat, she likes to spend her time in my bedroom/office with me, and I hug and kiss my kitty because I love her.  But lately when I hug and kiss my kitty, she goes back into heat!  I think she thinks she's human, and wants to marry me.  So I've decided to ban her permanently from my bedroom, so she can hang out with the other cats 24/7, and learn how to be a cat from the 2 abandoned kittens I took in last Ramadan.

And this is Mary Unknown7!

Too darned pretty

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Sweetheart?  I hope everything is A-OK with you.  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart.  You are MY girl, and I long to be with you.  We're probably going to be one of those huggy-kissy couples, but never in public.  In public, we must behave very formally.  That's because you're too darned pretty, and there's too much jealousy going on as it is.  You know that.  I don't want to have to install an M61 20mm Vulcan cannon turret on the roof of your house, nor set up booby traps in the yard.  Seriously, never underestimate the power of a beautiful woman.

Otherwise, it's a typical Sunday over here.  I cleaned my mother's bedroom in the morning.  I had takeout rice for lunch, but I made myself a big dinner.  A whole kilo of home fries!  I think I've perfected my technique.  Don't worry, a kilo of raw potatoes makes only ⅓ kilo of fries.  I also rolled out 4 small tortillas, and made cheeseburger burritos.  It may sound abnormal, but it's actually very typical.

Purple

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, my beautiful darling?  Did you know that once I get to you, I'm going to hug and kiss you lots and lots?  I hope all is well with you, and you are having a splendid time.  I love you!  Oh, there's not much going on over her.  It's hot.  I'm waiting for a package from Lazada, but I guess it's not going to get here anytime soon because of the lockdown.  At least it's not groceries, huh!

Today's color is purple.  Purple is my mother's favorite color.  I love you, Mom!  When I took Mary's avatar to get a snapshot of a flower, I was looking for a flower shop but it wasn't there anymore.  Instead there was a pit, and after climbing out I came across an inn with a flower bed in front, and that's where I found the purple flower.

Adolf Kitler and the pickled soybeans

 

Hi there, beautiful Natty!  Do you like the flowers?  Those are virtual magnolias that I found somewhere on Second Life.  I have to activate the Advanced Lighting Model to get the best photos, so I have to find the most remote locations where there's no one else around so my puny computer can handle the load.  I hope you like them!  I love you!

Adolf Kitler knocked a jar of my pickled soybeans down to the floor last night while I was asleep.  Of course, it's my fault for not putting the jar somewhere where he can't move them.  When I woke up at 4 am as usual, I was greeted by a mess of glass and soybeans on the kitchen floor.  Adolf has a taste for soybeans, it's a good thing he didn't eat the whole lot.  I guess he just wanted a snack.  It's another good thing I have another jar, which I put somewhere safer.  Pickled soybeans are a big hit, Natty.  So says Adolf Kitler.  The bitter bean hot sauce I made yesterday improved while sitting overnight in the cooler.  Oh my God, it's so good.  Alhamdulillah.  I turned a kilo of potatoes into home fries to go with my breaded squid balls, and it all turned out perfect for a huge, manly dinner.  I locked Adolf outside while making dinner.  I'm not punishing him, I just wanted to get his snout out of my food.  He's not naughty, he's a cat.  Adolf, don't be a nazi!

Flowers

 

Hi Natty!  Oh Honey, I forgot: February is "I don't need Valentine's Day to love you because I love you everyday" month.  I'm sorry, please forgive me.  I do love you, please believe me.  Anyway all day this month except February 14, I will post a picture of a flower just for you, to celebrate "I don't need Valentine's Day to love you because I love you everyday" month.  Happy "I don't need Valentine's Day to love you because I love you everyday" month!

Oh, what did I do in the kitchen today?  I made a condiment.  You know, something you would dunk your chicken nuggets in.  Specifically, I made a hot sauce.  Oh my God, this is probably the best hot sauce I've ever made in my life!  Alhamdulillah!  It's bitter bean hot sauce, and I dunked my breaded squid balls in it.  Oh but it would make a great chicken wing sauce...  now I want hot wings... It's made of rehydrated red hot chilli peppers, (a lot of) roasted bitter beans, pickled soybeans, "belacan" (fermented shrimp paste), corn starch and water all blended together until smooth.  I should mass produce it!

Tuppence

 

Hi Natty.  Are you doing OK today?  I hope all is well with you, and you are keeping your safety and good health.  I guess I'm in somewhat of a fightin' mood today.  Perlis is a poor state with few natural resources, so her children up and move to the big city to find better fortune.  Allah commanded me to stand my ground here and after many years, it's becoming obvious with more and more witnesses, that the music generates revenue for the locals.  Some people believe that all wealth belongs to them, and have tried to oust me many times, for those of you who have been paying attention.  MashaAllah I am still here and alive, and still able to make music.  Next I believe they are after my transportation.  All I have is a motorcycle, which I use to run errands for my parents, buy supplies and pay bills.  So enjoy the show, folks.  The world is watching.
