2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

zMacShop – KD775
Mac & More – KD785
Mac City – Not Available

Again the biggest surprise here is Mac & More. Their prices are slowly creeping closer to zMacShops. Mac City on the other hand I don’t know why they are still open.

So I end my night eating 4 Krispy Kreme donuts (and thats in the car from Marina Mall to my house) only to wake up and come to work and have 4 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts delivered to my desk. Someone working with Krispy Kreme read my blog and noticed I mentioned I only had the regular glazed donuts so I just got an assortment of various flavors.

I don’t know why I bother trying to diet..

While driving to Maki yesterday at Marina Waves I noticed the Skate Park at the side of the parking lot was open. I had passed it a few times before but the lights were always off but yesterday they were open and some kids were riding their BMX bikes up and down the ramps. On the way out I got a better look (while still driving by in the car) and I noticed the two kids had similar blue helmets and bikes. This is why I am guessing that the park actually rents out bikes, boards, blades and gear. I should probably pass by another day and try to get more details unless a reader already has more details and can share it with us. It looks wayyyy better then the one that used to be located in the basement of the Salmiya palace Hotel.

I first passed by Auto Bullz around a month ago when they first opened and I was pretty impressed. Tonight I passed by for the second time and took a more careful look at the place and it really isn’t as good as I thought it was the first time I went there. Its mostly filled with cheap knockoffs which really sucks. Instead of the pimped out H2 they had on display the last time they now have an MV Augusta motorbike which I personally think is cooler. But really the place is too big, over staffed and just feels cheap.

So I tried Krispy Kreme, and I have already tried Dunkin Donuts and honestly I have to say I prefer Go Nuts Donuts. Actually to be truthful I have only tried one donut from Go Nuts and its the “Choco Mallow Frost” and its just my favorite donut ever. Its not greasy like Krispy Kreme and its not heavy like Dunkin Donuts, its actually better then both combined. Hard to believe I know but its true.

This is a video from Dove’s campaign for real beauty where you see a girl get a heavy makeup and then “fixed” in photoshop before she’s beautiful enough for the ad. [Link] #

I own this camera, I purchased it I think around 2 months ago for like $170 and its now selling for $132. Its really a great camera and I lug it around everywhere I go. My Nikon D70 is too big and doesn’t fit in my laptop bag while the Canon A530 is very compact and can even record videos at a resolution of 640×480. If you are looking for a good portable cam and a really good deal then this is a good camera to get. Check it out on Amazon. [Link]

A friend just informed me that today starting at 7PM Krispy Kreme will be giving away boxes of donuts in Marina Mall near the fountain.

– They never make the boss look bad (e.g. stupid, incompetent, clueless, etc.)
– They dress and talk the way you want them to
– They are always willing to do whatever it takes (insane hours, etc.)
– They make perfect scapegoats
– They don’t care what their workspace is like, and don’t complain if they don’t have the equipment they need

Was just at Sultan Center, seems they have a major phone line problem because all their Knet machines are down and they have “Please Pay Cash” posters all over the place. That can’t be good for business.

This is my list of my top 5 favorite phones I have owned:

1- Ericsson 337 and 388
2- Nokia 3110
3- Siemens C55
4- Ericsson 688
5- Nokia Communicator 9110i

BusyNow is selling a brand new still in the box unopened iPod nano. Its one of the new models, its blue and its 4GB. He is selling it for KD60.

Update: Item Sold

I was in Hawalli yesterday when I decided to pass by the store Best Buy Kuwait (not official Best Buy just a copy). Turns out they had the Sony UMPC on display. I had only seen it before online so it was cool seeing it in person. Its super tiny and I really wish Apple would come up with something like it. They were selling it for KD699. [Link]
