2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

I just got an SMS telling me that from now on the SMS tariff will be 50 fils per message. How much was it before? I am on MTC btw..

As a Star Trek TNG fan I find this really funny and cool.. [Link]

While leaving home today to come in to work I saw a 2007 yellow Toyota FJ Cruiser parked at one of the second hand car dealers in Salmiya (next to Mr Baker, near Kababji and Shaab Park). I thought these cars were coming out in 2007…

Update: Here is a picture of the FJ I took on my way back home [Picture]

Update 2: I called the guy on 5629429, he is asking KD13,000 for it.

Two weeks ago I posted pictures of a “fucked up crash” that happened on the Gulf Road. Well my pictures were taken after the road had been cleared and the cars put aside. Today while browsing the Q8speed website I found a picture which was taken very soon after the crash happened. Might be too graphic for some people. [Link]

I knew they were going to be expensive but I didn’t know they were going to be THAT expensive. I am not even talking about the $21,000 ticket for a skybox seat in the final game I am talking about ticket prices to regular games for example the cheapest ticket to the Argentine Vs Netherland game is like $1,400! I need to start making more money… [Link]

U Shop We Ship will be hosting an event on the 1st and 2nd of June at Marina Mall. They are going to have a Raffle Draw and will be giving out a lot of great Gifts. It would also be a good time to ask them any questions about their service if you have any. Looks like its going to be a busy weekend at Marina Mall.

The Legend of The 99 begins at the Virgin Megastore in Kuwait’s Marina Mall on the 1st of June. Aside from the press conference that will be held at 11am, The 99 premiere itself will take place from 2 pm to 6 pm.

Everyone who attends this event will receive a special, collectible preview of The 99, free commemorative giveaways as well as a chance to win subscriptions to Teshkeel’s comics and magazines! [Link]

This is a guide to laundry hieroglyphics. I always found them difficult to understand, for example I used to think the Do Not Bleach icon meant Do Not Iron, now I know I was wrong. [Link]

I have been using Moleskines ever since I first saw one with Nibaq. I usually buy the plain pocket sized notebook and its actually the only version I have ever bought since I never needed anything else until I saw the Moleskine City notebook. The Moleskine City notebook is made for travelling and they come in various city editions. I want the Montreal and New York editions but they don’t come out till 2007 so for now I am probably going to order the Amsterdam one. I think these notebooks would be cooler if shared amongst friends. So I could travel to Amsterdam, mark my notes down and then pass the notebook to my friend when he travels to Amsterdam. That way he could get some tips from me and then fill in his own notes. It could be really useful. [Link]

Sara emailed me asking me if I could post information on her dog which recently ran away. Her driver had opened the garage door for like one second and her dog darted out and they have’nt seen her since. Here is some information on her dog..

Description: 18 months old, White/ Grey, female,
Siberian Husky, Blue eyes
Last seen at 5:30am 25th May 2006, North Ahmadi.

If you have seen this dog or have any information PLEASE call this number 7821778

Today Geo learned a new trick.. a trick I would rather he hadn’t learned. Geo today figured out how to open the doors around the house. The whole house is dog safe (ie nothing for Geo to grab a hold of and chew) except for the art room where I have all my magazines and tons of other stuff lying around unprotected on the shelves. Now that he knows how to open the door I need to start locking it from the outside. Hopefully he won’t figure out how to pick locks anytime soon. I think this weekend I am going to shoot a video of Geo doing some tricks, he has gotten really good at them.

Here is a full list of how all the TV shows ranked this season. I have no fucking clue how LOST is in 14th place while 24 is in 23rd place and Prison Break in 55th. Season 2 of lost was the most boring show on television filled with nothing that made season 1 (and early season 2) exciting to watch. Sure they fixed it with the season finale but thats too little too late. [Link]

update: I just noticed Arrested Development is like in position 123 so now I know the list means nothing.

It looks like today is going to be about TV shows. When you look for one thing you end up finding other things. This article I am linking to is written by Dr. Marc Siegel who is an internist and an associate professor of medicine at New York University’s School of Medicine. He talks about Greys Anatomy last episodes of season 2 and how accurate the events that occured on the show would be compared to real life. If you haven’t watched the episodes in question don’t follow the link because there are spoilers. [Link]

update: It seems its now requiring users to login to LA Times. So I copied pasted the article and you can read it below.

Most of this seasons TV shows have ended already and some (like Sopranos) are going to end in the upcoming week. I was curious to know when the new season would start again and I ended up finding this website that lists the new season premier date and time of a whole bunch of shows. I just found out the new season of Weeds is going to start in July which is really cool, some comedy to keep me occupied this summer while I try to catch up on 11 9 seasons of X-Files. [Link]

For the past 2 days I have been having issues connecting to mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com and some other sites like adobe.com with my Qualitynet connection. Is anyone else having this problem? Its connecting but after a really long period..
