2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
Holla started work today at my agency. Regular readers might at one point or another read his “colorful” comments on the blog or maybe his posts in the forum. I met him in person a few weeks ago and I found out he was actually a copywriter. Since I had been looking for a copywriter to partner up with at work, he ended up applying here and getting the job. We are like Ponch and Jon from CHiPs except Holla is still missing a bike.
I was looking at the pictures and I was like why would a boat dock inside a boat? Then the rest of the pictures were loaded and I was just like what the fuck?! Its really weird. [Link]
Flickr has partnered with Nokia to offer pre-installed Flickrness on some N Series phones so you can easily upload high res originals directly from your device without having to download and install any additional applications. [Link]
Thats a lot of post-its. Keep clicking on the pictures for more. [Link]
It’s been a while since I have written about Geo but its only because its really hot outside so we haven’t been doing any activities lately. He has learned a new trick though and thats opening drawers. He uses his front paw to open drawers around the house looking for stuff to play with. It started off when I put away one of his favorite (but very loud and annoying) toy in one of my drawers. He spent 30 minutes trying to get it out and finally figured out how. Since then he has become an expert and I spend a lot of time going around the house closing opened drawers. I am trying to teach him how to close the drawers once he opens them but he isn’t learning that trick.
Finally got it. More info later, need to shower and leave now. I hate showering in the summer since there is no cold water, its like I have two options, hot water, or really fucking hot water.
When I was in high school the scariest word to me was maba7es. Ten years later and the scariest word to me is still maba7es. I just sent in my article to KTM magazine yesterday and a few minutes ago I get a phone call from them telling me that my article is illegal and if they go ahead and print it I might get a visit from the maba7es. They wanted to know if I was OK with the risk. I told them I would think about it and give them a call back tomorrow with my answer. A very nice start to my journalistic career.
After nearly 40 hours of burn in, the AKG’s are starting to sound really cool. The headphones are light and comfortable, my previous closed back headphones were the Technics DJ1200 and those were very uncomfortable and would hurt my ears after long use. The AKG’s so far are comfortable BUT the only problem I have is that they are barely fitting me. AKG is an Austrian company and I don’t know any Austrians but I am guessing they all have small heads because I have the headphones now expanded to the largest size and they are just barely fitting me perfectly. Other then that no complaints.. so far.
Turns out everyday there are new samples!! [Link]
I just stuck 20 of these post-it notes around our office. Whichever employee can find the location of all 20 post-it’s gets two free cans of Shani. Most are easy to find, while some are going to be impossible. Just a little fun around the office.
I passed by Badar Al Badoor yesterday. They supposingly make the best shawerma in Kuwait but when I passed by they still hadn’t started making shawermas so I couldn’t try them out. Will try to pass by tonight.
To get to Badar Al Badoor you take the Gulf Road as if going from the Kuwait Towers toward Salmiya. Once you pass Fuddruckers on your left and Safir Hotel on your right you take a right following the Commercial Bank of Kuwait signage. Once you take the right (Safir Hotel is now still on your right hand like this) you take your first right again and you will spot Badar Al Badoor in front of you.
update: here is it on google maps [Link]
This site allows you to make your own Indian movie. They have a couple of short video clips from various Indian movies for you to choose from and then you add your own sub titles to it. The results can be extremely funny. [Link]
