Not the comedy group but the actual Axis of Evil. For $120 you can have your very own Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Kim Jung Kil, Osama Bin Laden and ghost of Saddam figurines! [Link]

The Sony dealer is selling the 60GB PS3 for only KD135. According to the salesman at the Souk Sharq branch they also have an offer where you can get a 60GB PS3 with an extra controller and a game of your choice for KD139. Thats a pretty good deal.

This surprisingly looks delicious! [Link]

I am at the airport now waiting for my pane back to Kuwait. I just had lunch at Cafe Matik which I think is probably the most boring airport cafe in the world. Its always been this bad at the Beirut airport, for as long as I can remember there has always been a monopoly when it came to food at the airport here. The old restaurant at the old Kuwait airport is like 100 times better than this one. Anyway I am just sitting here watching people going by wishing there was a McDonalds for me to pig out at.

We are up in the mountains today and its cloudy but it hasn’t rained yet. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

I think this will become a regular thing from now on. Everytime I am out of the country, Nibaq, Marzouq and K.thekuwaiti will have access to post on this blog.

I am now on the final shot for today, so far everything has been going smoothly with no major surprises or issues. It never ended up raining. I got another email from ACK which I will post once I get back to the hotel. It was something about tickets being for KD30 (or was it 40) and are only available for sale to ACK students and family members. Will post the full email later. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

The sun is gone and its getting cloudy. Looks like its going to rain… (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

I am glad I brought t-shirts with me since the weather here is amazing. We were expecting thunderstorms but yesterday the sun came up so we turned out to be really lucky. I am currently on my way to the first shoot location of the day. I have a total of 4 different situations that need to be shot by the end of today and 3 more tomorrow. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

Mr.CHoCoLaTe sent me the following:

The Axis of Evil Comedy Show is coming to ACK! The 4 American Comedians will be having their show on our campus December 17th at 6 p.m. in the ACK Auditorium.

Ticket Sales will be from Tuesday, December 11th from 11a.m. to 3p.m. and Wednesday, December 12th from 11a.m. to 3p.m.

Price of ticket: For ACK Students with ID presentation: 20 KD

When you save up enough money, open up a magazine stand in the airport AFTER the immigration in the location pictured above. And unlike the magazine place outside in the main airport, you will accept Knet as a means of payment. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

I got through immigration without a problem. I was worried I might be banned from traveling due to my speeding tickets but luckily I am not. I am at McDonalds having pankcakes, I wanted a quarter pounder but for some stupid reason when they are serving breakfast they don’t make burgers! What is the world coming to? McDonalds is refusing to make me a burger! (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

Axis of Evil will be back in Kuwait again on December 16th. It will be held at AUK again there will be two shows. Tickets will go on sale in about a weeks time.

Thanks Reema

I am traveling tomorrow to Beirut for 3 nights so I was just checking moi.gov.kw to see if I have a travel ban and while I was there decided to check on my speeding tickets. I was hoping they had miraculously disappeared but instead I was greeted with a new amount, KD680. Since the last time I checked another ticket got added to the system and its dated October 31st. This is a good sign because in October and November my average speed was higher than the rest of the year so 1 ticket for October is good and now I am hoping November isn’t going to be bad. I’ve been looking for wasta to solve my tickets issue since I heard without wasta I will most likely serve jail time and although that sounds really fun I currently can’t fit it into my schedule.

While at the MOI website I decided to check out other things like my car insurance. Turns out I have two cars and a bike registered under my name that have expired insurance. My car I found out about last week but the other car and my bike I didn’t know about. I don’t even know what the other car is actually, the Wrangler is in Nat’s name. Weird.

Anyway I still can’t figure out how to check if I have a travel ban. I guess I will find out tomorrow.
