2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

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]

Choowy Goowy cookies are now available at the NUMI Cafe infront of Dasman Complex in Kuwait City.

I read the scarriest news yesterday.. I read that Ben Affleck might be the captain of the next Star Trek movie! I think that would be the worst idea in the history of movies. We don’t want a young pretty boy captain, it would ruin Star Trek the same way Tobey Maguire ruined Spiderman. Patrick Stewart I beleive has been the best captain so far but if they wanted someone younger then they should get Kiefer Sutherland. He would be a good strong captain and they could get Roger Cross, the guy who plays Curtis Manning on the show 24 to be his sidekick Klingon. Then you could have the nurse from Prison Break, she could be the doctor on the ship, and Sawyer from LOST could be the second in command. Wow that would be a good team. [Link]

Did you ever want to smell like chocolate chip cookies or bubble gum? Do you like the smell of saw dust and wished you could smell like it? How about lobster, did you ever wish you could smell like lobster?

The reason I am asking is because I just found this site via BoingBoing that sells all these weird scents as perfume. They have a really huge list of weird perfumes including the smell of leather, paperbacks, applepie, paint, popcorn and more stuff. I think I would be interested in the Gin&Tonic perfume.. [Link]

This looks like its going to be one hell of a movie. I think its time to re-watch all the old Superman movies in preparation. [Link]

Its an interesting question and some of the answers are pretty cool. I didn’t know I needed so little to make a complete diet.. [Link]

I don’t think I will ever have McDonalds again because of this extremely cheezy and poor advert. Come on, with all this improvment in advertising in the region this is what McDonalds is advertising? This is what McDonalds in the Arab world thinks is trendy? I can’t think of any brand that would suit this advert yet alone McDonalds! This advert wouldn’t even work for those cheap ass bargain bin stores in Salmiya. I am seriously shocked at how terrible this is. [Larger Picture]

Note: The headline roughly translates to “Keep your taste big”

When I saw the new ads for Hardees advertising the Chili Lava I fell in love. I haven’t had Hardees since I started my no fast food diet late last year, but I love Chili and I really love the Chili Hot Dog at Hardees so to have a Chili Burger was like wow! Sadly though the Chili Lava was a disappointment. Don’t get me wrong here, there was nothing wrong with the burger, just don’t expect to get what you see in the picture. The burger looked pretty boring but I liked how they presented it to me.. in a plastic basket covered with a sheet of paper with my curly fries and burger on top. It looked like something you would get at Fuddruckers or TGIF. Taste wise I was expecting it to be wilder but it was pretty normal. I would most probably have the burger again its just that I think their ads over hyped it so I was expecting more flavor. My biggest issue with the burger is the price, the single lave combo costs KD1.550 while the double lava combo costs KD1.750. When did the combos get so expensive? Even the regular Mushroom & Swiss or Roast Beef N’ Chedder combos cost like KD1.400 and I remember the Roast Beef used to always be cheaper then the burgers. Because of the expensive price and the lack of shock and awe I give the Chili Lava a 3.5 out of 5. [Chili Lava Poster]

Five people just got executed today morning for crimes ranging from rape to drug smuggling. The interesting thing is it turns out I could see the hangings from my office window. I used the office camera with a 120mm lens to zoom in as much as I could onto the hanging yard and if you look at the picture, on the left side you can see people wearing black. I think this picture was taken after one of the people got hanged because you can see the trap door open and some people dressed in black underneath it… [Picture]

Some really funny new Mac ads which bash Windows computers. My favorite is the iLife one. [Link]

A man gets home, screeches his car into the driveway, runs into the house, slams the door and shouts at the top of his lungs:

“Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!”

The wife says, “UNBELIEVABLE! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?”

“I don’t care. Just pack and leave!!!”

I just noticed that a9.com is using Windows Live instead of Google for their results.. sucks.. [Link]
