This is the picture of the fake Hungry Bunny that I spoke about a few days ago thats opening on the 4th ring road. As you can see, although they are using a similar typeface and color scheme as the official Hungry Bunny, the main visual of the bunny rabbit is different.

Just yesterday I posted about the end of the Sub Club here in Kuwait but when I went to Sbarro for lunch they gave me their own version! Its only valid at Sbarro, Hardees, KFC and Baskin Robbins.. but the Fashionway branch. Order anything over KD1.200 from these 4 restaurants and they will give you a sticker. After 4 stickers you get your choice of either a Hardees or KFC combo for free! Offer valid till August 10th.

It’s official now here in Kuwait also. No more Sub Club, no more stamps. When I asked the guy why they stopped them he told me because some kids in the States made copies and sold them on eBay. I was surprised to know the guy knew the full story. Now I have a whole bunch of Subway cards that are full and I can’t use them. SUCKS!

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]

According to NASA, the moon will hang in the sky at its lowest point in 18 years over the next three nights. So go outside, relish the beautiful hot sticky Kuwaiti weather and enjoy the supersized moon. [Link]

I have a photoshoot in 30 minutes I have to go to. Its going to be shot on a boat which means I have to be on that boat. I don’t know how long the shoot is going to take but I didn’t take any anti sickness medication or anything. Last time I loaded up on pills and it didn’t do shit so today I am planning on going without any medication but with a lot of mental readiness. I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick, I will not get sick..

I just purchased an internet card so I could get online from work. Our internet is still down and this is the first time I use a dial up connection in a long time. KD1 got me 15 hours of internet using Fasttelco which I think is really cheap. The connection though is veryyyy slowwww, I hate dial up. I still remember when I used to get kicked out of BBS’s because of my 2400 baud modem. Nibaq and I used to connect our computers together and he would send me pictures of the Texas A&M chick, each picture would take over 5 minutes to download from him because of my slow modem..

OK, tonight I found out I have a 5 day long photography shoot coming up. It starts on Wednesday 8AM and ends sometime next week. The worse part about this is the first shoot on Wednesday will be on a 70 foot yacht and you know how much I hate boats. I don’t know or should I say I don’t think I will be able to update the blog during the mornings like I usually do so I will probably be posting during the evenings. Its going to be a really hectic week…

Just got back from Aramex, first good news is the guy who used to collect money has been relocated to another branch and Shop and Ship customers no longer have to deal with him. Seems a lot of people complained about him. Second good news is they will be moving from Emirates airlines to Kuwait Airways which means packages will arrive to Kuwait faster AND they will be going back to mailing out packages 3 times a week instead of 2 which they are doing now.

I found a Baseball field in Kuwait.. with grass!! [Link]

Is THIS the Marina FM logo? There was a huge pitch for it by like every agency in Kuwait plus one from Bahrain. I sent in 3 logos and 2 of them made the final cut but in the end another agency won, I think it was Memec. But I was expecting the winning logo to be something really cool, this one is just sad (no offence to the designer). [Link]

The other day I posted a number (198) to call and find out if you had fines. Today Jackie posted a website that would also allow you to check for fines. I have no fines! 🙂 [Link]

I spotted a Maybach today morning on my way to work.
