I was watching some burned copy of Daffy Duck the other day and I noticed one of the episodes has a rather funny title.

You see my beloved readers, my birthday is on the 1st of November (wink wink, nudge nudge). Which means, yes, It will still be ramadhan. So I have two options, either celebrate it next tuesday or wait for after ramadhan, and celebrate maybe the second day of eid.

This is a crappy situation on all fronts.

So what do you think? keep in mind … We can’t have much fun in ramdhan and people are already busy buying stuff last minute. Keep in mind pepsi gets kinda expensive around both times. People are still kinda busy on the second day of eid, maybe not.

Also few facts you might find interesting:

• I never turn down free tickets.
• I love music
• I still don’t have an iPod.
• I’m moving to a shared office in the city (more on that later)
• I have a really crappy car (interesting information for my
  very generous friends, yeah right) :p
• I’m really easy to satisfy
• A card will do, seriously.

I might/ might not add to this list later.

I’m up since yesterday’s futoor, had a quite long day (and a half?) will tell you some interesting news tomorrow.

Now I shall get a very early suhoor and hit the sack ASAFP.

This children book from germany will give you the answers when your kids pop that hard question. Very graphic and kinda not safe for work. That family kinda looks hippy, especially their car.

I can’t believe I actually called my brother’s cell phone in the next room to see him.

What’s with the guy with the russian accent in the Ford Mustang commercials? You know, the one who does the voice over.

“I had a drrrream … It became rrrrreality” or something like that

I mean, do they really think we (arabs, gulfies basically) talk english like that? I think it’s plain stupid move of them or whoever made those commercials.

However, big ups for the soundtrack of all the current Ford commercials (mustang, focus) They incorporate a well-crafted elements of electronica (drum ‘n’ bass mostly) with the sounds of our music and rhythmic arrangements. A slap on the hand for including those weird, sadness-implying vocals in both commercials.

Bush said he instructed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to “call upon the United Nations to convene a session as quickly as possible to deal with this very serious matter.”

United Nations to convene a session? for this?

I’m by no means trying to underestimate what they’ve done but bush’s reaction to this only means one thing.

Some body will be fucked really hard.
Vote in the poll to the right.

It’s 22 degrees (celiuses) in jahra, my body shivered when I was outside wearing a t-shirt. Now I’m not sure what dishdashah I’m gonna tailor.

Bu Rashid, Summery? wella Wintery.

Some fellow bloggers have been complaining about how their time zones in blogger.com are “messed up”, “wacky” or maybe even “funky”. Wrong time zone information could cause problems when the blog is published through a news aggregator like safat. The aggregator recognize the post with the false date as the newest entry and keeps it on top and whatever actual “new entries” by other blogs with the correct time zone information will be under that post.

I think it’s unfair for the rest of the blogs to be down the list of the updated blogs on safat, especially when some bloggers intentionally change their publishing date (two days in advance?) or the time zone information. A new trick even involved changing the date and then waiting for safat to include it and then changing the time back to the correct date and pretend to be all innocent and clueless for what just happened.

We have told some of those bloggers about what they’re doing and their abusive practices are affecting safat. We got all kind of excuses from people claiming their computer clock is wacky to people who had “personal reasons” for doing that, and people who thought simply “it’s not my brobrem”.

Whatever your excuse my friend, we will help you set the time zone right (one thing to start with). I expect EVERYBODY to check their time zone, even if you think it’s correct. Keep in mind, bloggers with “wacky” time zones WILL BE DELETED from safat’s database in the very near future if they continue to do what they are doing.

Go to your dashboard, click the name of the blog you want to fix its time zone information.

Click “Settings” tab and then click the “Formatting” sub-tab.

There, you see that? The red word … yes, that’s how we spell the name of the country we are in, not “France” not “America” (no, it doesn’t count even if you studied there). “Kuwait” was that so hard?

Click the “Save Settings” orange button down the page and republish your blog.

Thanks, now your blog is published in the local kuwaiti time.

I found this yesterday in a clinic here in jahra, while I was taking the shot I was worried the munaqaba nurse might object but all she did was laugh her ass off.

What’s with companies using quran radio station as the waiting tune in their phone system? Keep in mind it’s the same companies that used music stations before ramadhan.

Do they realize how this will reflect on them?

I’m not saying stick with pop music radio stations, It’s not professional to use them in the first place but at least for ramadhan use stations like the easy listening and “cool jazz” station or something like that.

What do you think?

I just discovered that Fredwreck, the guy who remixed the door’s “Riders On The Storm” and added snoop dogg’s rhyming over that beat, is an american palestinian.

I found this interview with him, the best bit is when he quotes snoop.

Fredwreck has helped Snoop learn about the Palestinian cause. Says Fredwreck, “He calls me on tour: ‘Hey, cuz, what does this mean when muthafuckers going up to the Temple Mount, what is that shit all about, cuz, why they be tripping?’ or he’ll be like, ‘Why they building a wall around y’alls people’s shit. That’s fucked up, cuz.’ ”

He’s very anti-bush by the way.

Update: I just found the track, It was in the soundtrack of “Need For Speed 2″.

I realize I’ve been “tagged” by many people so far and I promise I will do them all. Starting from next post I will do them randomly. I know I got tagged by Mama Fusla, Catch-22, NuNu, Forzaq8 and the devilish Swair.

If you have tagged me and I didn’t mention you here, please point it out. Thanks.

What a turn off to see all these religious paintings when googling “madonna” hoping to find more poses of that single cover photo.

That red/oragne hot hair could break my fasting tommorow.

Just testing stuff …

Well, some people already know about this but the Extravaganza got a facelift, and some more. I’m still working on it so your feed back will be much appreciated. A screenshot from a windows machine would be really nice right now. There’s a lot of things I need to do, categories, fixing old weird posts, maybe few more pages, install a bunch of plug-ins and more and more.

Update your bookmarks/ blogrolls/ RSS feed readers.

Update: Oopsy, It seems like Feedburner posted the last few posts of my blog on safat all at once. Sorry.

My friend is leaving the country and she’s selling a bunch of her stuff to get rid of it. What you see here my friend is a very good deal that I wouldn’t even post or tell anybody about if I had enough space in my room. (click the pictures to see bigger ones)

(Just few minutes before futoor) :p

I need a very strong shelving system that can handle heavy loads of stuff. The cheaper the better. I’m pretty down with any D.I.Y ideas.

Please help … That’s the only way I will solve the mess my room turns into a week after I clean it.

Bloboz pointed out how enterprise’s rent-a-car’s logo looks very close to eureka’s logo and he was wondering if they stole eureka’s logo.

Dear Bloboz,

Yes, THEY stole it not the other way around, NOOOO. Since when americans got any creativity? They stole the logo from our creative local company with the not-so-local name.

Thanks

Tata

P.S: Yes people I was sarcastic in case you didn’t notice.

Nice article about the technology and methodolgy used in making “Corpse Bride”

… and I thought it’s a CG thing.
