Munirah is one month old

Munirah

Munirah turned one month old today. I’ve finally gotten around to preparing a picture or two of her. The picture is already two weeks old, and at this age their faces change daily. I was gone on a work trip for 5 days, and I swear she was a new person when I came home. Now I’m leaving tomorrow to Mulu for a week of hacking through the jungle. I wonder what she’ll look like when I return. Meanwhile, Zahidah is curious about the new baby in the house. She’s curious what noise Munirah’ll make if she bops her on the belly, or what her shiny eyes feel like.

Pantai Hospital, Ward C

Babies talk in Morse
To angels who tread these corridors

What beautiful talent we sadly unlearn
Weary of life’s maze, twist and turn
Until life itself ebbs to its full and final term
And we lay in bed, old, weak and infirm

Only to find ourselves once again speaking
To angels garbed in light, and with yea, what mighty wings!

Munirah has changed alot, I agree! At first she looked so much like Raudzah’s younger brother. But now I don’t see that. She’s clearly another beauty! How lucky we are to have her in the family!

Mash’Allah…her name suits her…her face is very radiant…she has a slight resemblance to her big brother in the second pic…good work Mom and Dad! Per the Sunnah, it looks like Raudzah must have eaten many melons during the pregnancy…it shows on the baby’s pretty face.

An article about Three Roods Farm by Garrison Benson.

When Dr. Greg uses the verb "observe" (which is often), he means a willful action, not a passively received effect. Once, for instance, we delivered a cartload of dead leaves to the adolescent chickens, to "stimulate their instincts," and Dr. Greg suggested that we observe them. We sat in silence for ten minutes (that’s a third of a TV show, for most of us) watching the chickens stand still and nervously eye the leaves. "Well," he said eventually, "We can come back later."
Rebel Sell: Why the Culture Can't be Jammed # -
Interesting critique of consumerism, counter-culture and the culture-jamming movement:

So here we have the paradox of anti-consumerism. The major remedy of the consumer society which has been adopted almost without question by the Left and by the radicals more generally has been one of the most powerful forces driving consumer capitalism. The Adbusters sneaker is just the latest and most extraordinary example. This is also why counter-cultural rebellion is not a threat to the system, but rather has become the system.[Update: link fixed]

Vaguely related in ways I can't fully articulate to themes in Yursil's ongoing series on Suburban Capitalist Islam.
