2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003Anyone remember in the early 90’s the music the DJ at the ice skating ring rink would play? These are the songs I remember:
I’ve got the power – Snap
Rhythm is a dancer – Snap
Back to Life – Soul II Soul
2 Legit 2 Quit – Mc Hammer
Wiggle It – 2 In A Room
Now that we found love – Heavy D and the Boyz
Everybody – Black Box
Just a small peak into The Avenues mall. Maybe I should email Mabanee and see if they would let me go in and take some shots for the blog.
Here is the photo in big [Picture]
Went Christmas tree shopping tonight. Found a gorgeous Nordmann Fir tree which we ended up getting. The place I went to just got the trees two days ago, he had a couple of cheap Norway Spruce trees but the majority of them where Nordmann Fir. I forgot what the place is called but its up in Al-Rai, on the 4th ring road where all the plant stores are located. He has a couple on display outside but the rest are all inside. Prices range from KD45 and up, depending on the size of the tree.
Someone just sent me this link which shows a Kuwaiti cop dancing with a bottle of whisky in his hand. Notice how many topics involving alcohol this week? It must be a sign. [Video]
update: here is a link to another older video of a girl dressed in a copy uniform and dancing. [Link]
update 2: it seems Iraqi police can do it better (thanks moayad) [Video]
Just booked a flight for me and Nat to Beirut. Will be leaving on the 27th and coming back January 1st. I booked with Jazeera Airways and was expecting not to find any places but it seems the current political situation in Lebanon has led to a lot of cancellations. Last time I celebrated New Years in Lebanon was in 2000 so it should be fun.
GIANT magazine has a collection of the 50 greatest commercials of the 80s and they include a video for each one. The WWF’s Wrestling Superstars commercial brought back good memories, I had a lot of the action figures. [Link]
Just read about this on Kuwait Unplugged. Must be the funniest thing I read this year.. unless, they know something we don’t like maybe they are legalizing alcohol starting January 1st. More details on Kuwait Unplugged plus a scan of the press release. [Link]
I just ordered two Jack Bauer bags from Amazon. The Jack Bauer bag is the military messenger bag Jack Bauer uses on the show. I was looking for a nice sized bag in which I could dump all my stuff in and was aiming for a Freitag but every time I try to order one from them I can never decide on which color or design. In the end I decided to go for the Jack Bauer bag since it costs just KD7 and figured it would be fun to have. [Link]
bonus: here is a really cool 24 photo [Picture]
A funny list of actual English subtitles from films that were made in Hong Kong. Lots of funny stuff. [Link]
So I am coming back home after work on the Gulf Road and I notice there was a huge fire behind Texas Chicken. So made a detour, passed Texas Chicken and parked my car just as the fire truck was arriving. I take my camera, locked the car and walked towards the fire. The fire looked huge and still fresh so I turn on my camera to shoot and turns out I had no battery! This was the first time I ever ran out of battery when I needed to shoot something. I felt naked.
Wow I suck. This is a flash game where you try to guess the location of a country. Press start to begin. I scored a 44 in my first run. Africa just confuses me. [Link]
update: I got 74!
Seems the local magazine Student-Talk doesn’t think too highly of us bloggers. K.TheKuwaiti has a couple of interesting posts regarding Student-Talk including the emails they sent him in reply to his original post. After reading their emails it kinda makes me appreciate Bazaar just a bit more.
Here are links to his posts:
Student-Talk Magazine is a joke
