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…

Today I got to the office and to my surprise we didn’t have any internet. Something was wrong with the server and no one in the office had internet. It was the most dreadful experience of my life. From 8AM till just now 6:30PM I was without internet!! I tried to call the internet but that didn’t work…

From the Daily News: Salman Rushdie corroborates that new study that says video games can be good for you. Back when the the “Satanic Verses” author was hiding from the Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1989 death warrant, “My main pastime was playing Nintendo games,” Rushdie told Webster Hall curator Baird Jones at the Francesco Clemente show at the Larry Gagosian gallery the other night. “I devoted so much time to mastering Super Mario that I must have been the world champion by the end of my seclusion”… [Source]

Dortmund, one of 12 host cities for the 2006 World Cup, is hurriedly building wooden sex huts with the aim of encouraging discretion among prostitutes and their clients. According to Reuters, “experts estimate as many as 40,000 prostitutes may travel to Germany to offer their services to fans during the tournament.” To make them comfortable, “Dortmund plans to arrange the Dutch-designed huts … in an area with condom machines and snack bar.” Like a highway rest stop, but cooler. “We don’t want a situation where prostitutes and their clients disturb residential areas,” says an official.

“What’s the most frequent question Carl’s Jr. (Hardees) is getting from viewers about the “hot” Paris Hilton car wash ad? According to a Carl’s Jr. executive, it’s the swimsuit.” The swimsuit is made by Shay Todd, the couple who have been dressing Hollywood’s elite in sexy bikinis for the last four years. So if you are interested, you can have a swimsuit just like the one Paris Hilton wore in the commercial for just $185. [Link]

Just read this article in Arab Times where they are talking about building a rail system in Kuwait in preparation for the major traffic congestion we will be facing in the upcoming future. Now the cool thing in the article is they are proposing the futuristic Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) to connect major buildings. It was the first time I had heard about it so I did a bit of research and this thing is like super cool. Its like mini trains that hold around 4 people for example, and if you are say at the main NBK branch in Kuwait City and you want to go to Souk Sharq for lunch, instead of taking the car you just hop into one of these tiny air conditioned capsules and tell it to go to Souk Sharq and it will take you. This system just requires major buildings to be connected via tracks and you no longer need to your car to travel from your building to another down the street. Here is a link with more information on PRT. [Link]

Was talking to a friend of mine and he was surprised to hear the Pizza Italia is still open. So incase you guys didn’t know, Pizza Italia IS still open. I know of 2 branches, one in Bayan next to McDonalds, and one in Hawalli nearly opposite Mouhalab Mall. There phone numbers are 538-7798 and 266-7711. They deliver, the Large sized pizza with everything on it (called the God Father) is for only KD1.500

Some shots of the new Mitsubishi pickup truck have appeared online. Mitsubishi usually bases the design of the Pajero on the pickup truck so we could be looking at the new Pajero SUV in these pictures. I think the front looks a lot like the Murano. [Link]

What extensions do you have installed? This link has some interesting and usefull extensions. I just installed 3 of the ones the guy mentions. [Link]

Yesterday I was talking to a fellow employe when we started talking about t-shirts. Then somehow out of the blue I remembered Hypercolor t-shirts. The guy hadn’t heard of it since he is young (20) and I am old (26). So I started telling him about the T-Shirts and how in theory they were supposed to change color when you touched them or with the weather but in reality you had to pull the shirt up to your mouth and breathe on it really hard to inspire any kind of color change. When you wore it in school all your friends with spend the whole day either touching you or blowing hot air on your t-shirt so it changes color. This was something really cool in the early 90’s (the t-shirt not the touching) and this was supposed to be the future.

The cool thing is you can still find Hypercolor t-shirts for sale on ebay! Anyway I also created a new category on this blog called “80’s & 90’s” where I will be adding some nostalgia stuff like these t-shirts.

I was just flipping through Bayt.com to see if I could find anything interesting and I did. Seems Best Buy is opening or someone copied their logo. Check this.

Update: Nevermind, turns out someone copied the logo and name..

Just the other day I was talking to a friend and telling him how everytime I sign the receipt when I pay with visa, I use a different signature. Not deliberately but my signature is still “under construction” so I am always trying something new just to see if I can make a cool one. So today I was checking BoingBoing and I found this link to a site where a guy scanned his receipts to show us how every-time he signed, his signature would be completely different, he would scribbles, use heiroglyphics, draw grids, etc. So I think the next time I sign I will do the same thing. No one ever checks your signature so atleast we can have some fun… [Link]

We called the vet today, turns out the reason why Chips our family dog is sick and losing weight is because he is old and not in good health. The vet is recommending we put him to sleep, and thats what we will probably end up doing. He has been in the family for over 8 years now. He isn’t perfect, no one outside our family seems to like him but thats because he doesn’t like them (he has psychological issues). I think the day before we put him to sleep I will set up an open buffet for him with all his favorite food. He will have an unlimited supply of cheese, french fries, burgers and chocolate.

I was suggesting after we put Chips to sleep that we get him stuffed. That way we can still have him in the house. My parents are totally against it though and they wouldn’t want it in their house. Nataly also doesnt want it in our apartment since she thinks the ghost of Chips will end up haunting our place.

Update: Just got back from the vet awhile ago. We put him to sleep…
