2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
I took these today with my Nikon D90 and 50mm 1.8/f lens. I was freelensing with the lens held the wrong way round to get the macro ability. No retouching, just some minor color color grading. The yellow flowers were growing from a white plant which I hadn’t seen before.
Update: Added some more. Also I’ve placed some typography (NIN lyrics) on some of the shots to help bring out the picture.

Thats pretty messed up. Back in 2005 I shot pictures of the cops shoot out with some terrorists in Salmiya and you can see those [Here]
Thanks Kent
I have a problem with my Jeeps AC in that it sounds like a jet engine when at full blast. So, I took the car to the dealership to get it checked since I will be in Lebanon for the next few days. While there the service guy suggested I do a full checkup since my cars millage is 75,000km. He then suggested since I am going to be out of the country he could email me a detailed cost estimate and I could reply back to him telling him what to fix and what to leave.
For a minute the guy must have thought I didn’t know what the Internet was because I kept asking him questions like:
“You have internet?”
“On this computer here?”
“So you will email me yourself and I can reply to you?”
“Do you check your email?”
I am not a fan of the Jeep’s dealership and I’ve made that clear before but the ability to receive a detailed cost estimate on my BlackBerry while I am in Beirut just made up for all their previous fuck ups. I’m impressed.
Leaving back to Beirut in a couple of hours, not looking forward to the traffic which I think has become as bad as Cairo if not worse.
I really like these Adidas Maharishi’s. I am not usually a fan of Adidas mid tops but these are very tastefully done by Maharishi. From Sneaker Freaker:
Using a bevy of chambray-style materials, each piece has been crafted to produce a WWII naval uniform feel, mixed in with adidas’ sportswear heritage.
But, at KD50, I am not so sure they’re worth it. Would rather put the money in my Nike Air Force 1 X Clot fund. [Link]
I wouldn’t wear a Tokyoflash watch but I do find them interesting. Sites like Gizmodo keep posting about their different models and every model is like geekier than the next. For those of you who haven’t heard of Tokyoflash they’re basically watches that tell time in unconventional ways using LEDs and mostly without numbers or clock hands.
They’re very weird and I find some of their models nearly impossible to tell the time. But, for those of you who’re interested there is a shop that just opened in Muthana Complex selling Tokyoflash watches and they’re located on the ground floor close to Pizza Hut. [Link]
Desert Kings 2 Jokers are back with a new video which now includes water activities. Personally I prefer the faster paced original video. [YouTube]
I never noticed this before but the Vimto bottle says its non-alcoholic. Which brings me to my question, is there an alcoholic version of Vimto?
I posted before about Obama visiting a burger joint to pick up some burgers, well he did it again this time he picked up burgers for himself and his staff. The cool part is they drove into town in unmarked vehicles with a small entourage. Didn’t know he could do that. [Link]
If I want to learn how to fly is there a place in Kuwait where one can take lessons? A flight school?
Yesterday marked 64 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in Japan by the United States. The Boston Globe put together 34 photos that showed the aftereffects which you can view [Here]
Unlike the jpg thats been going around, this is the true Pepsi vs Coca-Cola logo evolution chart.

I would love to have an automatic pancake machine in my kitchen but the one pictured above costs $3,500! [Link]
Supposedly this video was taken in Saudi Arabia. A bunch of guys started chasing this girl on a quad bike and what looks like a huge fight breaks out. [YouTube]
Thanks q8shadow
