I think Nevermind should definetly have been #1, and where is The Chronic by Dr Dre and Ten by Pearl Jam?? Who the fuck are the Pavement or The Smiths??

Misguided has a video of a Kuwaiti soccer mom. I just watched it and it was really hillarious and so very true. Samir Sa3eed rulez! [Link]

At various subway stations in Korea, they often they are decorated at different times of the year with school art projects. Fire safety, future jobs, home life, technology, and so on. The theme of this one appears to be “Fuck Japan!” [Link]

A place for sharing any files small enough to fit on a conventional floppy disc (1.44meg High density), art, media, sound, noise, its up to you, all files are hosted here for taking and swopping.. [Link]

A blog dedicated to tattoos! I have been wanting to get a full arm (from wrist to shoulders) tattoo forever but I just can’t afford it. When I went to New York I about a tiny tattoo and it was going to cost me $150 so a full arm tattoo would mean I would to get a loan from the bank.. [Link]

Today I will be updating the sites theme so you might come in a find things looking normal and you might find things looking strange. Be patient with me because I don’t have a lot of free time to work on this but I am trying my best to get it working the looking the way I want it to. Thanks.

Just booked 2 tickets online for Batman Begins. Its supposed to be the best Batman movie yet. I tried to get tickets for the premier which was yesterday but I couldn’t find decent seats. So, I just booked the best 2 seats for a showing next week. I can’t wait.

Update: Just got the following message: “NBK Credit Card Holders only: Dial-a-movie now for Batman Begins & get a free ticket. Call 803456 or check NBK.com for more details.” So basically buy 1 ticket get the other one for free. Good deal..

Billy Corgan’s first solo album “TheFutureEmbrace” was released just yesterday yet Billy Corgan also released a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune saying that he wants Smashing Pumpkins to reunite! Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favorite bands ever, the line which I use for 2:48AM “Breathing underwater and living under glass” is actually from one of their songs. So having them reunite again would be one of the coolest things that could happen. [Link]

Remember the Duck Hunt game that came with the original Nintendo Entertainment System? You can now play it online as a flash game. [Link]

I just changed the website’s theme awhile ago. It’s similar to the old one and derived from the Miskan one. I find this new one tidier and visually more attractive. I will work on it a bit more later also to improve it.

Update: This is not the final look, fonts, colors and banner might change, feedback though is appreciated. Also if things look strange, like if the font looks ugly, do a hard refresh .

Update 2: I put the old theme back up since I didn’t have time to work on the new one tonight. Will try to find time to work on the new theme tomorrow again.

I was on my way to lunch in Nibaq’s car when he noticed what looked like a large TV screen outside the Kuwaiti Stock Exchange. So, after lunch we decided to drive by it and there it was, a huge ass TV screen right outside. The location of it is really terrible though, there is a large tree right in front of it and I was only able to see the screen by climbing out of his sun roof and having him park his car right underneath it. They should seriously remove the tree or else this thing is useless.

The other day I posted a link to a site with some cartoon intro’s from the 80’s, the site closed down but I managed to download 4 videos, here they are:

Bionic Six
Denver the Last Dinosaur
Pole Position
Robotech

Ever wanted to know how long can you keep the ketchup in the fridge or when does your Pepsi go bad? This site has a pretty comprehensive list of Food and Household products and how long they last. The most surprising thing is mayonaise, according to the site:

Mayonnaise
Unopened: Indefinitely
Opened: 2 to 3 months from “purchase by” date (After this time, color or flavor may be affected, but product is still generally safe to consume.)

For some reason I though mayonnaise goes bad very quickly, this is why I usually throw out the jar after the first use. Actually, anything that has been in my fridge for more then a week gets thrown out, unless its in the freezer. [Link]

Yesterday I was at Marina Mall and I noticed Dairy Queen at the food court shutdown. I guess it was bound to happen, last time I ate there the bread was old and the burger seemed raw. Then whenever I asked them for a chili dog they kept telling me they were out of it. I hope they open Wendeys instead.

Mercedes-Benz this morning released the first official pictures of the new S-Class, which is due to be shown at this fall’s Frankfurt Auto Show and will go on sale in Europe in the fall. The interior reminds me a lot of the BMW cars while the rear end of the car reminds me of the new Chrysler 300C. At first glance the car looks a bit… strange and off in my opinion. I guess once we get used to the new look it will sink in better. [Link]
