2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
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:

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.
On the morning of Sunday 7th May the little girl giant woke up at Horseguards Parade in London, took a shower from the time-traveling elephant and wandered off to play in the park…
This is really bizarre and scary and the music isn’t helping. [YouTube]

Why do companies bother getting rights for a brand if they are not going to bother getting the merchandise? Last night I passed by iCity who are the dealers of Wacom tablets in Kuwait and they didn’t have any tablets available in stock just one which was the display model. The salesman told me they get Wacom tablets only by order and that it takes 4-6 weeks to arrive. What the hell?? I could order the tablet myself from Amazon and have it delivered to me in a week AND it would cost me nearly half the price iCity is charging.
Under normal circumstances I would order from Amazon but I need the tablet in the next few days for a friend and ordering from Amazon is not an option. Does anyone know who else sells them in Kuwait (grey market)? I tried Virgin, Jarir and Hawalli and no one has it.
I just started watching this show and so far its pretty cool. Its starring Donald Sutherland, William Baldwin and most importantly Peter Krause who played Nate Fisher on my favorite TV show ever, Six Feet Under. In Dirty Sexy Money, Peter plays the role of a lawyer who when his father passes away is forced to take over his job taking care of one of New York City’s wealthiest families. There is more information on Wikipedia, its a good show.
It’s old but I just found out about it. Don’t get your hopes up, its stupid, lame, dumb and annoying. But its funny. [YouTube]
Here are some other remakes by other teens, all as stupid and dumb and even lamer:
hello FUCK !!!! (THE MOVIE)
Hello? Fuck!
Hello??? Fuck!!!
hello, FUCK!!!!
hello? fck!
Burgan Bank today launched a new logo and personally I think it can’t get any more generic than this. I think they should have just given their old logo a face lift by simplifying the sun rays and maybe going with two tones of blue instead of the Gradient. For their typeface I would have killed the serif and gone with san serif which they actually did in the new logo. Actually the only positive thing in the new logo is their logo type but their icon on the other hand is very boring and forgettable. Not only that but where is Kuwait in the logo? Gulf Bank have the dhow, NBK have the camel, CBK have the arabesque star and now Burgan Bank have a… ribbon? Where is the locality? Where is the strength and trust? They’ve recently redone their branches into a very clean modern looking environment so why did they go with a logo that was already outdated in style before it even launched. This logo should never have left the design studio yet let alone presented to the client and gotten accepted.
What other bloggers have to say
Tatabotata: “This is the most disgusting redesign I have seen in a while.”
Patrick: “Why? But why?!”
Elsewhere
AMEINFO: “The design of the new corporate identity draws inspiration from a ring, which has been used cross-culturally for thousands of years as a symbol of partnership and commitment.”
Further Information
The logo was done by an agency in Bahrain and not LOM | FDP who were responsible for their branch redesigns
Update: The agency in Bahrain behind the redesign is Vision Communications.
