2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Super, Unleaded and Diesel. [Link]

I first found out about F4T from q8techdrive‘s blog a few days ago and then yesterday out of the blue they delivered their menu to my office. So today morning me and some friends ordered some food from them and it turned out to be pretty good. Their menu was a turn off, its too cluttered, hard to navigate and full of useless text on the history of each food item when they could have used that space to put the ingredients. After finally figuring out what to order we gave them a call and they told us they would be over within 40 minutes, 30 minutes later the food arrived. I ordered the Halloumi Heaven which was recommended by q8techdrive and Entrepreneur, while my friends ordered the Tender Turkey Sandwich, Fries and the Sweetcorn Chicken Salad. I found the Halloumi Heaven not bad, like a 7/10. The Tender Turkey was supposingly really tasty while the Sweetcorn Salad not that good. The fries is regular fried fries but was really good also. Unlike LoFat, F4T does provide you with nutritional values although they are a rough estimate. Anyway I can’t give it a full review based on one sandwich I had but atleast you get some idea. It seems like better food then LoFat although not as healthy. Then again healthy food is usually no match for unhealthy food.

I really dislike F4T’s menu and website style, its like wannabe cool/trendy which is a disaster. They have a website where you can download their menu from. The link to the menu is on the far right just incase you couldn’t find it. [Link]

I was supposed to watch Lucky Number Slevin but the downloaded copy I had turned out to be corrupted so I decided to watch Stay. I had downloaded it a while back but wasn’t very keen in watching it but since I didn’t have anything else I went ahead and did.

The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, where Ewan plays the role of a psychiatrist who is trying to stop one of his patients from committing suicide. Things start to go weird and confusing and he tries to get a grip on what is real and what isn’t.

The movie wasn’t only weird and confusing to Ewan but also to me. I don’t mind “strange” movies and I don’t mind being puzzled trying to figure out whats going on, but the problem with Stay is that in the end when everything finally comes together and all the questions answered, you realize that the past 90 minutes were really not worth the ending. I am not going to ruin the the movie and tell you what happens in the end but I can tell you that it didn’t leave me shocked but more like “huh this is it? How lame.”

The movie felt slow at some points but the acting was great and visually the movie looked cool. In general I like Ewan McGregor as long as he isn’t singing and Naomi Watts when she isn’t running around the jungle looking for King Kong. It could be the movie wasn’t weird enough to make the ending good or maybe its the other way around, but whatever the case, I didn’t have high expectations of the movie to begin with and so wasn’t left too disappointed.

Like Metafilter, just more personal. [Link]

Today morning around 5:30AM when running with Geo, I tripped and fell on the ground scrapping my left leg and getting a slight cut on my left hand. I came back home, washed up and went back to sleep. I woke up again at 8AM to get ready for work when I realized my right ankle was killing me. I think i sprained my ankle and now I can barely walk or use the gas pedal in my car. I am actually driving with my left leg on the brakes while the right one on the gas pedal since it hurts less this way. Going to use Google Health to try and find out what I need to do to fix this shit.

I dropped the review score for LoFat yesterday to a 3.5 out of 5 because as some people mentioned, LoFat doesn’t provide any nutritional information nor the amount of calories in their meals. This kind of information is important for people who are watching their weight and should be provided.

Anyway today some people from my office placed an order to LoFat at 11:30AM, by 2PM they still hadn’t delivered the food so we had to cancel the order. This isn’t going to effect the original rating since they have been delivering on time in general, I just don’t know what got into them today..

We showered Geo today and I took a picture of him while he was all wet. As you can see he doesn’t look like a dog when wet, more like an ugly goat or something. Looks really fucking ugly and evil. The picture below is how he looks like when dry.

Some really clean and tasteful themes here. Hard to choose which one I am going to go with… [Link]

You can now preorder the MacBook’s from Amazon:

I had lunch at Marina today and I passed by Mac & More but they were still not open. The opening is at 6PM but here are some shots I took. I also passed by Fono to sign up for mPay when I noticed my Motorola V3x is now KD110 which is 10 dinars cheaper then when I bought it a week ago…

I have been waiting for the MacBook for what seems forever. My first laptop ever was an iBook (G3 700mhz) and I was really hoping the MacBook would be similar just better. So how much better is it really? Looking at this iBook vs MacBook comparison chart it seems by a lot. [Link]

I was at Marina Mall today and noticed that Foot Locker will be opening up where the Bear Factory used to be (Across from Tommy). It seems Alshaya got the franchise to Kuwait.

Apple G3 300mhz
288MB RAM
3GB Hard Disk
Running OS10.3.9

Battery doesn’t hold a charge so you need to keep it plugged in to the power socket. You could find a new battery online for $55 and up. The power cable works perfectly but has black electric tape on it. I don’t know why I bought it like that and never removed the tape to see why they had it on. I use the clamshell for browsing the web from the living room and resizing images for my posts using Photoshop. I am selling it because I am going to be purchasing a MacBook. I originally paid for it KD25 (which is really cheap) but I added 256MB of Ram which cost me more then what I paid for the iBook.

Selling price is KD50

Update: Ok, its sold it. Thank you.

Really busy today so here are some quick Apple links:
