2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

I was just reading Pearls blog when her post on Game Shows reminded me of my favorite show.. The Price is Right. I really love it, I don’t know why, I think maybe because it reminds me of the summer I spent in California. I was always terrible at guessing the prices of the items but thats because they would be like totally random stuff that I would never use in my life. Anyone know where I could find torrents of the show because I would really like to download some episodes..

Just got the dog show forms and they are scanned and attached to this post. Here are the details of the event again.

Event: First Dog Show in Kuwait
Date and Time: Friday April 7th, 2-6PM

We will be entering Geo in the “Most Adorable Dog” and “Best Puppy” categories.

A runaway train killed seven people and injured at least 11, severing some of their limbs, during the filming of a TV show in Uruguay, police said. The accident occurred during a “test of strength” challenge to raise money for a hospital in Young, 380km (235 miles) west of the capital, Montevideo. Contestants were pushing and pulling a train and two carriages when the vehicle gained speed and ran them over. Local authorities have declared three days of mourning. [Link]

I just watched the Snakes on a Plane trailer, looks like its going to be one helluva of a strange/cool movie.. [Link]

“Enough is enough. I’ve had it with these snakes!”

It’s my day off…

Finally I was able to get one. It’s like you need to have wasta to get your hands on one if you are not a kid opening a Zeina account. Would have preffered the original one from the 80s though, the dark green and gold one.

Update: Here is a brighter picture of the original golden camel [Picture]

This is an interesting Firefox plugin I found..

Oil Standard is a web browser plug-in that converts all prices from U.S. Dollars into the equivalent value in barrels of crude oil.

When you load a web page, the script seamlessly inserts converted prices into the page. As the cost of oil fluctuates on the commodities exchange, prices rise and fall in real-time.

I just tried it with Amazon and its a pretty “fun” script. The price of a PSP is 3.97 barrels of oil while a new Macbook Pro will set you back 39.77 barrels. We should use this standard here in Kuwait, everyone could walk around paying in oil! [Link]

Many people have been complaining about Apple’s new Magsafe power plug that come with the new Macbook’s but these pictures on flickr show their might be a bigger problem. One guy came home to find his Magsafe connecter had melted… really freaky. [Link]

I like Campaign. It comes out every two weeks week, its free, it gets delivered right to my desk and best of all its actually informative. [Link]

Although I have recently lost a lot of weight I am now afraid I will be gaining it all again with my new chocolate bar craving. I am having atleast 6 chocolate bars a day and from what I am being told, its not helping my diet. So since I am attached to the habbit of eating chocolate bars I decided to get granola bars instead from Sultan Center and hopefully I am going to get attached to them. These bars are supposed to be healthy and won’t cause me to gain weight. I got the Apple Crisp flavor by Nature Valley but I haven’t tried it yet, I hope it tastes good, or at least decent..

Update: I just tried a bar and it tastes like wood. Actually I think wood tastes better. Need to try another brand like Kudos or something, they had a chocolate chip version.

Found this pretty cool daring Playboy ad on Adrants. The more you zoom out the more it looks like you know what…

Fasttelco is now also blocking BoingBoing. Qualitynet also haven’t removed BoingBoing from their block list even after all the emails and phonecalls. Sucks.

Update: You can now visit BoingBoing by just going to mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com/bb

Umm.. is Crunch banned in Kuwait by any chance? Its my favorite chocolate and I have been looking for it for a few months now but no supermarket seems to have it. Anyone know of a Crunch dealer?

Where are my keys? [Link]

Ever wondered how much influence Arabic words have in the English language? [Link]
