2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Yeah its just a mockup but it does look cool. Would love to get my hands on the black one. [Link]

I am so jealous from TivoGuy since he has the D200. [Link]

I am currently using a Sony Ericsson K700i. To summarize my experience.. it sucks. The phone is buggy, sluggish and ugly. Recently its also been acting very strange like for example the down button would stop working or my call list would show that I called people whom I never did. Not only that but sometimes when my friends call it won’t show me their names just their numbers.. even though their names are on my phone. Its really starting to piss me off and so I need a new phone. My problem is I don’t like paying too much for a phone, you can call me cheap but I personally just don’t see myself paying a lot for phones. I still remember when the Sony Ericsson T610 got released and I forked out KD220 for it back then but those days are gone. Now my budget is KD100 or less.

What I need is the following:
– Bluetooth
– Good looks
– extremely responsive system
– No Nokia

Yesterday I saw the Samsung SGH-E530 (pictured above) and it looked pretty cool. Although I dislike Samsung the phone looked really slick, it had bluetooth, a beautiful colored screen on the inside and a gorgeous OLED screen on the outside. The price at the dealer was KD95 so I should be able to find it even cheaper outside. The problem is the phone is targetted towards woman which would make me very girlie. Another option I was considering was the Motorolla Razr, I haven’t done any research on it yet nor do I know how much it cosst but I will check on that later tonight. Can anyone recommend me a phone?

update: seems like the Treo 700P is launching this month, I am going to wait for it and check it out before I take my decision. [Link]

A few days ago I posted about how Hardees recently increased their prices well today I passed by McDonalds for breakfast and it turns out they just increased their prices as well! The thing is this is the second time they increase their prices. I posted about their first price increase last July when the majority of their combos had their price increase by 50fils. Well they just did it again but this time by 100fils. Even the breakfast menu got effected this time with the regular breakfast combo now costing 850fils compared to the 700fils it used to cost before.

So I picked up my breakfast combo and drove off thinking about how these price increases suck when I stuck my hand in the bag and realized they forgot to give me my hashbrowns! So not only did I pay 150fils extra compared to what I used to pay but they also forgot my hashbrown. Luckily I had their phone number stored on my phone so I called them up to complain. They apologized and told me I could pass by again for the hashbrown, I told them I was on my way to work but it wasn’t a problem, I just didn’t want it to happen again.

Nice way to start a morning..

I don’t know how I didn’t hear about this from before but Pet Shop Boys (one of my favorite bands) are releasing a new album on May 23rd. The new album is called Fundamental and its available on Amazon right now as a limited edition import version which is double CD. For more information plus an mp3 of one of the songs from the album follow the [Link]

So I was at Hardees yesterday getting cookies when I noticed that they had replaced all the pictures of the burgers on their display menus with new ones that used the Thick Burger patty. Someone commented the other day in one of my posts that Hardees no longer had “normal” burgers only the Thick Burgers so I asked the guy if this was true and to my surprise it was! You can no longer have a normal Mushroom & Swiss for example, you can only have the Thick Burger version which honestly tastes terrible.

I hate the flavor of the Thick Burger and I don’t understand how they can phase out their regular beef patty. Now the cheapest combo is KD1.400 and its the Roast Beef & Chedder, everything else is KD1.500 and up. They are now officially the most expensive fast food joint compared to Burger King (the previous record holder), McDonalds, KFC and Texas Chicken.

I just watched Apples new ‘psychedelic’ iPod ad and its really trippy. The spot features the song Love Train from the super hot Aussie band Wolfmother. [Link]

Tool – 10,000 Days
I really like it, reminds me of their album Ænima

Pearl Jam – Pearl Jam
I have every Pearl Jam album and have been listening to them since the early 90s. This album is my least favorite so far. My favorite song is Severed Hand.

Placebo – Meds
Urgh, its not that the album is bad but I am just so over their sound.

Sonic Youth – Rather Ripped
This album isn’t out but I am looking forward to it. I really liked their last album Sonic Nurse so I am hoping this is going to follow in the same style.

Ok, now I know what I am going to teach Geo for his next trick! [Video]

“After 30 years without a major design overhaul, the 51-year-old fast-food giant is adopting a hip new look. The world’s largest hamburger chain is redesigning its 30,000 eateries around the globe in a 21st century makeover of unprecedented scale.”

I checked out the slideshow of how the new McDonalds is going to look like and I think its going to come out pretty sweet. Lets hope they don’t fuck it up here and have the same people behind their crappy ad campaign design the interior. [Link]
