I’m going back to Virginia for Thanksgiving. I’m extremely excited about it for a number of reasons. ;-)
The new National Geographic came the other day. It contains some articles about these prehistoric sea creatures which are really horrifying. Take a look at the scary monsters.
I’ve been admin-ing a chatroom on Paltalk for the past few days and I’ve encountered some of the most ill-mannered Muslims you can imagine. Surprisingly (or not?) some of the ones who consider themselves the most religious and “correct” are often the first ones to burst into the room and shout out any of the following scripted lines:
“kaafirs!!”
“you must be sufis!”
“you must be shi’as!”
“you have the wrong ‘aqeedah”
“haraam!”
“you are all going to hell”
“silly, ignorant people”
“hypocrites!”
You get the point. Bravo to all those who continue to uphold the stereotype of the “backward, intolerant” Muslim!
Hubby bought me some (electronic!) drums yesterday. I had a desire to start playing drums, since I am a percussionist by nature. So now I can quietly (to outsiders) drum away and avoid the real world… :-)
Those are his hands playing them, however.
I added Flickr badge, Ayah of the Day code and RSS feed to this page.
EID MUBARAK!
Last night and tonight, hubs and I heard some “band” music playing outside. Turns out, we are close enough to the local high school to hear their marching band practicing. Neat! I really like band music so we drove to the school (with the cat!) and sat listening and watching them practice.
Little-known fact: I almost joined my middle school band, as a saxophonist. I didn’t, though…
Also, I feel compelled to share my recent “artistic” endeavors. Hubby wants paintings around the house, so I have complied… (These are all 16×20 canvas with acrylic paint.)
Pastiche: Poppies - Shamelessly copied from Marimekko’s Unikko design…
Al-Wahid - By request…
And most recently, an as-yet untitled sunrise and tree design.
I maintain that there is no artistic value in these, but they make the room look nice so I don’t care!
