2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Spotted this Fiat 500 outside Shamiya Coop today. Although I love the car I don’t think it looks that good in Kuwait.

AMU, a blogger from Kuwait found out about easyHotel from my blog post awhile back and decided to give it a shot. He just got to London and this is what he had to say:

..the hotel is beyond my expectation for its price. It extremely clean and 2 minutes walk from the station. I have a double bed single room with a window. Nice and friendly staff and they have all the information available if you would like to do some site seeing.

I wonder if there is anyone else also from Kuwait going to be staying there with us. I get to London on Tuesday and will also be staying at the same easyHotel in Paddingtone so I will be posting my own review too. For now you can check out his review [Here]

Just a blast from the past. I used to play this game back in 1991 in my computer class when I was still in Kuwait English School. In the video above the game actually starts at the 2 minute mark. [YouTube]

I took my Tamiya Lunchbox out for the first time today. After all the hard work with the paint job I ironically managed to scratch it while it was still in the trunk of my Wrangler. If that wasn’t bad enough, 10 minutes into my run the Lunchbox lost died on me. It was performing really well, taking some great jumps while my dog was busy trying to catch it when suddenly it just stopped moving. When I got closer I realized the motor was working but the wheels weren’t spinning which meant something was wrong with the gears.

I got home, took apart the car again and turned out it was a problem with one of the gears, the pinion gear which is the one thats connected to the motor was loose. I tightened it back again and used some blue thread locker and its now working perfectly again. I think I am going to spend most of my time breaking my cars and then try and fix them… I love that.

If anyone is wondering where the place is in the pictures above its the huge park off the first ring road.

It actually doesn’t look that bad surprisingly. [Pictures]

Q8Life posted about how the ad above is a national disgrace due to the fact that the currency is torn in half. Does anyone else find it offensive? I personally don’t. [Link]

The picture above was taken yesterday after the inauguration while the one below was taken after Bush got attacked with shoes last month. I thought he would have definitely been reassigned to McDonalds or something…

A friend told me about this strange Japanese game show called Gaki Attack. The show takes four guys, locks them up in a gymnasium for 24 hours and then terrorizes them with a group of ninjas. I’ve watched a few episodes on YouTube and its hilarious. You can check the official site by going to GakiAttack.com

Here is one funny clip from [YouTube]

This is totally gross. A 57 year old man in China slipped in the bathroom and fell on a tap which got stuck in his eye. More details and a picture of his x-ray can be found [Here]

Cute. [Link]

Update: Found this REALLY cool page with Cookie Monster sounds! [Link]

It seems a fire fighter shot a video of the Esprit store in the Avenues after the fire and the video is now floating around the Internet. Someone already uploaded the short clip to YouTube and you can watch the video above. I still haven’t heard anything about what started the fire though. [YouTube]

Thanks Moey!

Although I got my Tamiya Lunch Box truck early in the month I had a faster motor and metal ball bearings I still hadn’t received from eBay so I couldn’t start the build until today. Aramex dropped off my parts in the morning and once I got home I started work on the Lunch Box right away. Five hours later it was done. I only managed to drive the truck for a few minutes under my building in the dark but it was great. Tomorrow I need to pick up a white spray can so I could stencil in some type on the side. Will post more pictures once I am done, I love how its turned out so far.

I am currently at work watching the inauguration live on CNN.com and for some reason Facebook is integrated into this mix. This is like the strangest team up, but I am watching the video feed live on the left side of the browser window with Facebook active on the right side.

I sooo want these sneakers! Only 130 pairs of these lucky-red sneakers were made and I desperately want one. I love the embroidered graphics in the red silk texture and the box with the different compartments for the different shoe laces it comes with is really cool.

I found my size on eBay but its selling for KD288! I wouldn’t mind paying that much if the sneakers somehow magically didn’t get old or dirty. But to pay that much and watch dirt and grime cover them… Check out this link for a lot more details and more pictures of the sneakers. [Link]

The blog is now very iPhone and iTouch friendly. When you access the site using any of those devices you should see a specially formatted version of the blog (like the screenshot above) that works a lot better and faster.

Also some users might have noticed the site looks a lot better than it did a couple of weeks ago. Thats because of the web design company Design Box who were able to fix the blog so that it now looks the same across all the browsers.
