Serious

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's business?  Oh, it's serious business huh.  I can see your serious face from way over here.  But you look absolutely beautiful when you're serious.  Go break some hearts, Honey.

Today, I feel more agitated than serious.  It's like the simplest things have more power.  It's like Mary's microphone this afternoon was ridiculously loud but the dial was only on one.  But I did get a good lead guitar take this morning while I was working on Shadowplay's next album, "Rise of the Horizon Creature" aka "Search for the Beast".  Very gentle and smooth yet complex.  Alhamdulillah.  I made broth for ramen, but I ate fries.

Mary's outfit today is:

I.M. Collection Bette dress {Pink floral}

Here are my picks from the Etro SPRING 2022 READY-TO-WEAR collection:

Qur'an 20220507

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

56.  Say, "Call on those, besides God, whom you fancy.  They have neither the power to remove your troubles from you, nor to change them."

57.  Those whom they call upon do desire means of access to their Lord, even those who are nearest.  They hope for God's Mercy, and fear God's Wrath, for the Wrath of your Lord is something to take heed of.

The Night Journey  17:56-57

The humble ramen

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I expect you are busy, going from place to place and being fabulous as you are.  Please make sure you take good care of your health and safety.  There's not much going on here today.  It's been an exciting week, for both of us I guess.  I wish I could sleep more, but I always have stuff to do

I made another batch of lentil fritter mix.  I snack on those pretty much every night.  I put so many chillies in there, my hands are still burning from straining the mix.  I had ramen for lunch.  One may think that ramen is a quick fix.  The noodles yes of course, but the broth takes a long time.  Not today though, I used a mix of leftover broth I kept in the cooler.  I added tofu, fish cake, veggies and an egg, and it was done.  Oh yeah, I also fried up some chicken skin to make artificial bacon bits.  I love ramen!  Last night I watched the video above, in particular the first piece about a 64 year old grandfather who pushes around a hand cart 20 km a day to sell bowls of ramen for ¥500 each.  God, I feel so bad for him.

The Met Gala

 

Hi Natty!  Natty, you're so pretty!  I want to hug and kiss you!  But I guess you are very busy right now.  Such as you should be, the world needs you.  You have things to do and things to endorse, Mrs. Rock Star.

I'm not a fashion historian nor expert by any means.  I like what I like, and that's it.  This year I learned that the Met Gala is thematic.  Isn't that nice?  If I had to go (and I were aware of the theme), I would have borrowed a look from the movie, "Gangs of New York".  But I didn't go, and I would have been too lazy to put in an effort if I had the means to go.  I'm just an opinionated fashion critic.  Theme aside, the best dressed of the Met Gala 2022 is Lily Aldridge:

Before I looked at the Dries Van Noten SPRING 2022 READY-TO-WEAR collection, I checked out the JW Anderson collection.  Most of the photos there were of the photographer himself, who looked like a pale chimpanzee, doing lewd poses in a skimpy Speedo with a tractor tire.  I suppose that could be entertaining, but it's not beautiful so I won't display it here.  The Dries Van Noten SPRING 2022 READY-TO-WEAR collection had excellent photography.  But I hate it when they don't isolate the outfits, because it forces me to endorse outfits that I don't like:

Qur'an 20220505

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

49.  They say, "What?  When we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up, a new creation?"

50.  Say, "Be you stones, or iron!"

51.  Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest.  Then will they say, "Who will cause us to return?"  Say, "God who created you first!"  Then will they wag their heads towards you and say, "When will that be?"  Say, "Maybe it will be quite soon!"

Girlie

 

Hi Natty!  Honey now that it's been established that you are the girl, don't you agree that you should dress more girlie regularly?  After all you are a sociologist, and you wouldn't want to confuse society by not dressing all girlie all the time.  I'm sure you wouldn't want a flood of lesbians clamoring to make you their butch so you can pay for all their expenses.  (I don't think she'll do it folks, but I might as well try and get some eye candy) I love you, Natty!

Are you hungry, Honey?  Yesterday I made steamed rice mixed with shredded mustard greens and topped with honey teriyaki chicken and a generous amount of roasted sesame seeds, and it was so successful I had to have it again today.  Would you like some?

Mary's avatar dresses feminine all the time, even though in real life she's like a nun.  But she's definitely the girl, and since I'm her guardian then I would be her "man", so to speak.  Her outfit today is:
