Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  You are looking absolutely lovely, my love.  There's something about cashmere that hugs the skin, we can see your underwear.  Did it snow over there?  Make sure you keep warm.  Keep safe and healthy too.

I've had to throw out the metronome when writing a couple of bass parts lately, it just didn't groove right.  Speaking of timing, it's movie night!  "The Equalizer 3" (2023).  All the Equalizer movies are great, and Denzel is one of the best.  I'm happy to see Robert finding a home at last.  Is this the last one?  I guess he does need to retire.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

101.  Say, "Observe what is in the sky and on the earth!"  Of no use are the signs and messengers that give reminders to those who have no faith.

Jonah 10:101

Second language

 

Hi Natty!  You are looking beautiful, Honey.  Is that NYC?  It looks like NYC.  I suppose you would be wearing a coat then.  You must still be in Los Angeles.  Nice outfit, a modest sophistication.  You do look cold, though.  Please keep warm, safe and healthy.

How long now have you been in Los Angeles?  Can you speak Spanish now?  I can't speak Spanish.  Neither can Mary.

Why not tea?

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me.  I love you.

Tea, salmon and rice?  If the Japanese ate tea and salmon together, why not use tea in ramen?  So that's what I did for lunch: used a tea bag instead of miso.  Tea is essentially a vegetable broth which we normally consume with sugar.  I didn't use sugar but the usual savory items like seaweed, beef bone, salted fish, soy sauce, garlic, onion, carrots with a touch of MSG.  There was a ring of scum at the side of the bowl most likely from the fish, which for the sake of the photo, I removed with a swab of toilet paper (which the dumb ass cat stole and ate).  The result was a darkened and intensified seaweed broth.  It didn't taste strange at all.  It tasted like... a bowl of ramen.  The cats liked today's ramen.  They rated it 5 out of 7.  Usually only the boys and mama cat like ramen.

Harvesting the deep

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me.  I love you.

I was at the Tuesday market yesterday, and there was squid there.  Tiny, though.  I hate processing small squid.  The sea water around here isn't that deep,  so the squid don't get big.  There must be a lot of meat in the deep ocean.  Deep waters are so dangerous, though.

Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  Were you worrying about me?  Don't worry, be happy!  I love you, you're MY girl!  What are you drinking?  It's iced tea for me, no sugar.  Keep safe and healthy OK!

It's movie night again!  Please watch a movie with me!  "Alita: Battle Angel" (2019).  There's a quote in the movie, "Would you rather be a slave in heaven or a ruler in hell?"  The trouble with this life is that all of it is hell, with maybe a few glimpses of heaven.  Unless you can get a man to go through hell for you so you don't have to.  In this movie, Alita is the girl.  Isn't it interesting how technology changes in just a couple of years?  Alita's eyes are on cell phones everywhere now.  If they had waited a couple of years, they could have saved millions on special effects.  This is a great movie and character.  Sequel, please.

The Antichrist

 

Hi Natty!  Hi Honey!  How are you feeling today?  I think about you all the time.  I love you with all my heart.  I hope you are keeping safe and healthy over there.

In Islam, the Antichrist is known as the "Dajjal".

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

94.  They will present their excuses to you when you return to them.  Say you, "Present no excuses, we shall not believe you: Allah has already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you."  It is your actions that Allah and God's messenger will observe.  In the end will you be brought back to God Who knows what is hidden and what is open.  Then will God show you the truth of all that you did.

The Repentance 9:94
