2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Was flipping through my Miskan archive when I found this picture dating back to February of this year which for some reason I never ended up using. Looking at it now I think its a lot cooler then the image I finally decided to use that day.

What the fuck, this sucks!

I happen to think that the Jeep Wrangler is about the gayest thing on the road, and not just because I own one. It’s the kind of car that’s so self-conciously rugged and masculine that it starts veering into camp. Unless you’re straight, and then it’s just a rough ride. But I love my big gay Jeep.

Two days ago I posted about an offer that if you purchase a 4GB iPod Nano from zMacShop for KD88 and mention my blog you will get a free unpowered boom box for it in addition to the free sleeve. Well just to keep you updated there are only three more gifts left. So hurry up.

iPod mini
Blue Color, 4GB (First Generation)
Excellent condition, with no scratches
Will include case for Free
Asking Price: KD40

If you are interested leave a comment and I will send you contact info.

Note: These ipod’s I post about for sale are NOT mine. They are for people I know.

Starting today I am on a new healthy diet.

– No McDonalds
– No Hardees, KFC, Texas Chicken, Burger King etc..
– No Softdrinks even the diet ones
– Subway is allowed (although after my last visit I won’t be going back)
– Gulf Royal Chinese is allowed but not 2 days in a row
– Will start eating more fruits. (I like melon, grapes (with no seeds), bananas and apples)
– Will start drinking chocolate milk every morning
– Anything from Kababji, Sajj House, Mughal Mahal, Great Steak & Potato is allowed
– No chocolate bars for breakfast or when bored at work. Chocolate bars will now be replaced with a handful of natural nuts (not fried)

I was going to try and be a vegeterian but I would end up starving to death since I don’t eat vegetables.

Update: Day 1 and I already broke rule #3, I had a pepsi for lunch. But I decided anyway that a bit of Pepsi is ok, it helps me digest…

Todays B-Side is from a car wreck near McDonalds on the Gulf Road.

This is going to be one busy weekend.

This is a good post by a student on how to wake up feeling fresh and energetic instead of grumpy and sleepy. The student suggests a very simple method of setting up 2 alarms, the first one would play music at a very low volume while the second alarm will ring at your normal volume. The thinking behind this is you set your first music alarm at very low volume to play at a time you want to wake up. If you wake up to the music you would probably be in light sleep and you will wake up feeling good. You set the second alarm to the latest time you would want to wake up, as a backup in case the first alarm didn’t wake you up. If you wake up to the second alarm you would wake up the normal way you wake up every day.

You can read the full details when you click the link, I am gonna try this myself tomorrow morning. [Link]

Update: Dogbert gave me a link to an alarm clock that runs away and hides after it rings so you wouldn’t be able to snooze it off, thats fucking crazy! [Link]

A friend of mine just told me they are selling Segways at Virgin for KD1,500 each. I will pass by tonight to check it out myself.

Update: I received a phone call earlier tonight from zMacShop telling me about the following offer. For the first 6 people who buy an iPod Nano and mention my site (2:48AM) they will get a FREE rubber unpowered boom box for the iPod in addition to the free sleeve. Everyone else will get a free pair of Apple Logo stickers in addition to the sleeves. So if you want an iPod Nano hurry up to get the extra gift, they only have 6 to give away.

Since Google VPN is kinda flaky at the moment, you could try anonymous browsing (for Free) using Hide My Ass. [Link]

Note: Keep in mind, Hide my Ass is NOT secure. Meaning if your connection at the office is monitored, they will know where you have been going. For a secure connection use Proxify.

This is one of my favorite ads and its for the BiC permanent marker. Since Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, this ad is showing how permanent the marker really is. Say this woman is around 60 years old now that means she got the autograph when she was max 30 years old, that would mean the marker lasted over 30 years. Here is a link to the larger version. [Link]
