Notes on the Closing

Monday, August 30th, 2004

Due to the lack of anything to do yesterday and inspired by the great Fusla I watched the “closing” ceremony of the Olympics in Athens. For some reason I knew I will need a notepad to take notes. Here it goes:

1. What’s with Sad Old Farts in the beginning of the ceremony?

2. Why the hell do we need a commentary for? I tried to switch to other channels but the same smart asses was on them all.

3. There was this segment where “Tourists” are running and jumping in very happy manner. One of them (she was wearing red) had these amazingly big tits and they were jiggling in a very crazy manner. (yeah, I notice stuff like that)

4.When the French team entered the middle of the circle I saw some of them were holding some cute dolls, any body any idea? I swear to god I’ve seen them before, Just don’t know where.

5. Who was the mohajabah behind the IOC president?

6. What’s with the very short dresses of that Chinese band with weird guitars?

7. Have you seen the look of fear on the face of the little Chinese little girl when they triggered the fire works?

8. What’s with Anna Vissi? The extra slutty-ness? (Greek Britney Spears, I guess) She was singing over the Pulp fiction soundtrack by the fun loving criminals.

9. Have you seen that kite? Tits? On the whole fucking screen? That was fun. I wonder if they blocked it on KTV3, yeah right, like they can.

Mineral Water Logos

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

So i was looking at the strange shape of the mountains on the ABC mineral water’s logo I mean just look at the mountain in the middle and how it overlaps the one on the left. It just looks wrong to me. That’s what i was thinking two/ three months ago when I was drinking that water at my friend’s house.

Yesterday, I saw the logo of Evian water and I was amazed not by the nicely drawn mountains but by the fact that ABC actually ripped evian’s logo off in a very bad way.

I went crazy buying other brands of mineral water just to see if there’s any other thing worth noticing.

Well, I noticed every body is using the mountains Iconography and I can’t blame them. It’s what mineral water is all about but when a local brand like “AL-Raudtain” is using the image of mountains in their logo you know things are absolutely gone wrong.

Now somebody correct me if I’m mistaken but WE DON’T HAVE ANY MOUNTAINS, do we? I know we have few hills and stuff but even the hills have nothing to do with alraudtain’s water. Thanks god Al Raudtain noticed this before i can find any bottle with that logo. Now they have a new design which is basically the same old logotype (only the word alraudtain in blue as usual on white background).

Ok, I really liked the fact that the mountains in the saudi hayat’s logo are brown. Somebody is being honest and down to earth Unlike the emarati masafi’s blue (snowy) mountains (does it snow in ras al khaima?)

By the way have you ever seen this?


I found it in a book.

A Productive Day.

Monday, August 23rd, 2004

I should do this more often. I shouldn’t get out of my “studio” unless I have a million thing to do. I did it today and I was amazed how much work I can finish this way.

I woke up earlier than usual and went to the dentist. I ate my breakfast (Mars and Mango Juice) while i was waiting for the dentist. I came back home to pick few things up and I went to meet a new client. The meeting was very successful and I went to Virgin and I bought these:

I also arranged a last minute kind-of-meeting with a “fellow blogger” with a similar interests. Tried to arrange a lunch with another “fellow blogger” but I guess it was a little bit late, It didn’t work. I dropped some CDs on another client/friend. I thought my day is over when I remembered I can do more stuff today. I went to another friend/ collaborator to pick an invoice for a client of ours and I went to the client and I gave them the invoice. I Also picked samples of the finished project which looked really cool, I was proud of myself once again.

I came home, had lunch and watched some TV.

I did all of this while I was having this impossible headache caused by the the three big ass injections of the dentist.

Exhibitionists In kuwait

Sunday, August 22nd, 2004

You won’t believe what I saw today.

First of all, Do you know the Little beach front between “Layali el helmyah” Cafe and Johnny Carino’s Restaurant on gulf road? This is where this thing happened.

I was waiting for my friends to join me for a late Lunch at Johnny Carino’s and I choose a table where I can have a nice view of the beach. So i was looking at the people swimming and enjoying their time and sipping my coke when I noticed the fishy couple.

They were stuck together when I first saw them before entering the restaurant and they are still stuck together now. She was wearing a black “hijab” and full black dress code (black shirt & black trouser) and he was wearing a short. They were in the water and you only can see their heads and shoulders.

When i first saw them i caught them kissing but i thought it’s an innocent kiss and they might be some newly weds or something. Now after 20 minutes they are still VERY close to each other and they are still kissing some-deep-french-shit kind of thing and there were some hugging and weird position adjusting. Basically they were making out. I wouldn’t say they were fucking or anything but I’m sure they were getting off on each other.

Still my friends are not there yet and I’m left with this peep show by my self and the Filipino waiter/ess of the restaurant. I couldn’t care less for what was happening and i just ignored it and focused on my salad.

My first friend came in, a girl, she didn’t know about anything until i told her. I thought they stopped, but i wish. They were still going strong with all kinds of foreplay, almost not caring what other people might see (there were children too). Another friend of mine came and he caught the action from the first moment he got off his car.

Now when you see her legs right behind his neck this means one thing. My Friend (the girl) couldn’t take it any more and she called 777 and she told them about this couple doing a “fe3l fathe7″. We were waiting for the policy while watching some more kissing some more hugging and what could be some more fucking.

The Police came and caught them in action. We just couldn’t ask for more.

It seems like they are married because the police man was almost easy with them. We were watching this whole thing and waiting with a lot of anticipation for them to get in the “dawryah”. But it never happened. After some crying, begging and ass kissing they police man let them sign on some papers and then he left.

I was reading Newsweek and there was this article about XM Radio. It seems like the service is finally available in the middle east through World Space. Retailers are only available in Dubai and Oman (but I guess you can buy online).

Watching Stars

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

Jenna Jameson released her book yesterday while pamela released her book on the 3rd of this month. Funny timing indeed but what’s really funny is how both of them used the star on the cover to cover their tits. (cliché?)

I doubt reading them in the near future but they sound like a good coffee table books. :p

Summer and Sleeping Patterns.

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

Is it only me or every body gets their sleeping patterns funked up in the summer?
Maybe it’s because I don’t have a day job. Yeah, I guess it’s one of the cons of freelancers’ life style.

The Art of Kissing

Wednesday, August 11th, 2004

Oh my god, This guy made a career out of Kissing.

To whom it may Concern.

Tuesday, August 10th, 2004

These are excerpts from a message i sent to some one. I modified it of couse, I just thought it could serve as a good introduction to my blog.

… I jumped from blog to blog and I discovered a lot of new Kuwaiti blogs (weird coincidence, almost all of them started in June, yeah maybe the summer holidays). Being the old blogger member I am and feeling nostalgic to my blogging days. I decided to come back.

and here I’m introducing my blog http://tatabotata.blogspot.com , yes,you can call it the tata botata blog. The current title is temporary. It’s just like the others will serve as a daily journal of what’s happening. Also, I really enjoy picking at the local ads we see in the newspapers and magazine, so yeah call me an Ad Critic.

I’m a graphic designer, I’ve worked in different agencies and done work for few production houses. Right now suffering the close-down of the company I used to work for (4 months now, I got over it) You can call me a freelancer. I’m still not sure if I want to continue doing this.

You see, I bought every thing in the studio space of my last agency (still paying for it) and my bedroom became almost like a … dunno, I might post some pictures later and you can judge. So I’m totally open for both commercial and non-profit personal projects.

Movies in Kuwait.

Tuesday, August 10th, 2004

No, i’m not going to talk about censors and censorship here in kuwait. No, i’m not saying they are stupid for cutting a french kiss while leaving all kinds of cursing, bad language and referals for all kinds of taboos. (kuwaiti taboos that is)

I have a question, Why Blockbusters (which means expensive and high budget) like “i,Robot” get released here in kuwait almost the same time as does in the states and sometimes before europe. While Independent Movies (which means cheap and shoe-string-budget) like “Lost In Translation” have to wait more than a year to get released here.

I need some one to answer me or i will go totally nuts.

Terry Richardson

Tuesday, August 10th, 2004

Using only a pair of point-and-shot Compact cameras, Terry Richardson is invading the classy, glossy covers of Vouge, Dazed and Confused, The Face and the not so glossy Vice. His Skills were used in many of Sisley’s Campaigns.His style is a mix of happy-bithday-party-kind-of-photography and the DIY Reality Porn.
Personally, i think richardson’s influnce on magazine’s photography is similar to Warhol’s influnce on Art in general.

Ladies and Gents, My Hero Terry Richardson

Sniff & Win

Tuesday, August 10th, 2004


It seems like watanya is not only using woman as a tool to promote their services, they are encouraging people to use Drugs too. ;)

No really, just look at the boy’s nose and how close this thing is to his nose. It’s like the boy is sniffing and he is getting high over this (notice the dizzy eyes, twirly eyes actually).

Some body tell this abdul razaaq to just STFU.

Just think about it, In the first paragraph he says the lion RAPED her. But in the Second paragraph and after explaining that the guy’s name is ‘asad’ (lion) he says he couldn’t get what he wanted because she started screaming and running.
