2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

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.

If you are like me and have a collection of old vinyl but can’t carry then when you travel, well we have found salvation! This bad boy can rip your old records to your computer for easy transferring, editing and scratching. Also the best part is once your are done you can still use it as a stand alone 3-speed player.

Do you have a good one or a bad one?

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

Mark wouldn’t give us access yesterday cause my picture was so much better than his.

Here is an updated list of current DSL pricing:

As I have said in the past; I wouldn’t suggest signing up with United Networks or FastTelco due to their incapability to deliver promised speed, provide sufficient support or maintain a stable network.

The most enticing ‘offer’ (we still pay too much) is the 4mb connection from Qualitynet at 900KD. As you would be looking at a download speed of roughly 400+ KBPS. Although, I am not sure if most telephone lines are capable of handling that speed. Come to think of it, ISPs could offer a 1000MB connection knowing that your telephone line will tap out at 3MB.

With Info-Connect 2008 only two months away, I would suggest extending your subscription until you can make use of the offers there.

We have been trying to get back on here for a while now… its needs to be spiced up…

I want to change the damn color from Magenta or Magneta or what ever the hell it is to Pink… Pink is more suitable..

First Off, I will go order some Shawarma and get back to posting later.

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:

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)
