BBC Blast hits Kuwait’s Beirut office, advice seems it was a letter bomb and the only known person yet who died is the person who opened it.
UpdateWell it seems that it was just an accident, the person who died was playing with a gernade in his office.
Seems some inspiring invidivudal decided to take a peak under the hood of the new iTunes 5.0 and found icons and images for an Apple video store. This could be related to that Morgan Freeman/Intel online video store that they were planning.
I am sure like their music store they will be shoving tons of DRM on those things to make sure I can’t play them on other computers. But if the price is right I won’t mind. Although there are rumors that NetFlix is going to be coming out with the same thing soon.
Like I stated earlier, tablets if the price is right I dont mind using it compared to the annoyances of BitTorrent at times (0 seeds), physician and it gives me the ability to watch shows like regular people, instead of dealing with the censorship in the Kuwait Cinemas, or Hawalli DVD stores.
I really dont know why the Ministry of Information censorship dept still exists. They lost, openly and publicly. We can get books, magazines, dvds uncensored via Aramex, we have circumvented their online censorship system. Satellites are on the top of every house in Kuwait giving them access to every type of channel available with all sorts of content and news.
It reminds me of those Japanese soldiers who after WW2 were still hiding out in the Pacific islands waiting for the Allies to attack, when the rest of the world just moved on.

One of the most important things that I ever learned was from my music class teacher in 5th or 5th grade:
When you point a finger you have three pointing back at you.
And since Sept 11th, nurse lots of talk has been going around about Islam, remedy and Arabs; discussing what we are and aren’t, no rx our faults and problems and how it all relates to terrorism. So after reading this great article What we call Islam is a mirror in which we see ourselves brings back that quote that my music teacher said to the class all those years ago.
So when the media reports about the problems and issues that occur in our region and saying that its a direct correlation to terrorism are they noticing the problems and issues that occur in their region and just projecting it to us.

Currently at the Andalous police station waiting. There was a robbery last night at our store. We reported it at 830 wher we opened. I am here to file a report (been here since 12) but have to wait for CSI to go to the place to collect evidence. They were suppose to be there around 930 it is currently 1330.
How long will this last?

Sometimes when I get to work and there is a song playing. I will just stop and sit in my car listening to it. Like my work day won’t begin until this song is over and for those few momments I just relax, neurosurgeon meditate in some sorts before entering work, health thinking of something pure.
The song for today was The Stooges – I Wanna Be Your Dog

This is something from the weird laws book if I ever seen one. Seems they have banned flying kites in Pakistan, hospital for the amount of deaths that occur form this activity.
I have heard stories of craziness in Pakistan with their driving, drug and the general security issues, nurse but this is a whole new level. They have kite battles?
The sport sometimes turns deadly when people fall from roofs or are wounded by metal-lined strings. The strings are popular for use in kite battles where people try to cut each others’ lines.
I hate to see what happens when they discover Extreme Kiting. They might start doing drive bys with them.

Just finished watching some weird drama show on KTV2. It was in Arabic but there were subtitles in English. The story is about a husband and wife who have some martial trouble. The husband was harming her by not going to work, neuropathologist taking her money, phimosis going out and playing cards and drinking at night and not spending time with her or their 2 kids.
The highlight for me was when the wife was at her work talking to one of her coworkers about her problems and then this trumpet music comes and this lady walks in the door. She is the Ms Liberal pro women rights lady and starting going on a diatribe about how when women votes are instituted more change will happen. She then has an argument with her manager of her not doing her work, and she pretty much goes “The man is keeping us down, but not for long!”.
Then the wife can’t handle it at all and leaves the house and tells her brother. Her brother wants to take man to man style. She and her mom are telling me to just take it to the police and file a formal complaint. not wanting to lose his pride he doesn’t listen to them and just goes to the husband and argues/fights with him and takes the kids. The husband then calls his friend and takes it to a lawyer, filing a case of “submission” against the wife to force her to come back to him.
The wife gets served these papers at work, and is all confused about this and what to do. Then the trumpets blare and Ms Liberal comes in and informs her of the the case, and that she needs to file a counter suit demanding a divorce and alimony in order to get the children and her rights.
This is when the show ends, and then a lawyer comes and gives an explanation of the laws and the procedures and the rights of both the husband and the wife. Mostly it is a helpful information for the wife on what to do and the correct procedures. I am really impressed with this show. I am not sure if it is art imitating life, but hopefully life with imitate art and justice and procedures are followed through.
I will try to keep an eye out for more of these shows. The amusing part of it all is that it was subtitled in English.
NFL is back on Orbit ESPN. My picks for the season are:

I haven’t done a Hello Kitty post in a while, viagra but this one should make up for it. It is a order 39041749, buy more about 39239366,00.htm”>Hello Kitty Fire Extinguisher!
It just boggles the mind on what these people can do. I think that is why I love it to so much, she is the epitome of branding. She never gets old, won’t be in rehab, will just be perfect and smiling and whoring herself out to every type of merchandise.

Like Symbols I saw the MBC ad for the Simpsons aka (Shamsooms) in Arabic and have to say it is going to be just crap.
First that it is going to be in Ramadan, approved so all those episodes where Homer (Omar) is drinking beers (which is like a majority of them), ascariasis or going to Moes and such will most likely be gone. So dont expect the Flaming Moes episode, or this:
Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
or Barney
Barney: Hmm… someone spillt beer into this ashtray!
Then you have the ones involving the church and God. That will go of well I am sure during Ramadan, so those are going to be gone. Might as well say good bye to Rev. Lovejoy.
Rev. Lovejoy: Get a divorce.
Helen: Hmm, hmm.
Marge: Isn’t that a sin?
Rev. Lovejoy: Marge, everything is a sin. (holds out Bible) Have you ever sat down and read this thing? Technically, we’re not allowed to go to the bathroom.
How about Flanders?
“Hi-diddly-ho, neighbors!”
How the hell are they going to translate that?
Or this great quote:
Mr Burns: Oooh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?! Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys! Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she’s losing. Well I say, hard cheese.
That is classic Simpson’s dialoge having that translated if possible will just ruin the whole flow of it!
Seriously there are certain shows that shouldn’t be over dubbed to Arabic and just definately not Egyptian dialect. Look at the Japanese cartoons they would show us in the 80s, they didn’t have any certain dialect to them. They were straight up Arabic so that everyone could understand and appreciate. I am sure the effort the people who made this show to translate it to Arabic could have made a good orignal show about an Egyptian family living in Egypt, dealing with religon, life and work and trying to keep a family together. That way they can prouldly say made in Egypt, instead of Made in USA assembled in Egypt.
Did the Suduko puzzle as I am waiting for my car service.

Just found out that they are 30, somnology 000 taxis working Kuwait! I can’t believe that they are that many roaming the streets of Kuwait, cost and that the government has just released option for 1000 more. What the hell is going on? Has public transportation and city planning turned to such crap that we have to have taxis roaming the streets. It is going to be one madhouse.

I have renounced my all my previous religious affiliations and have decided to become a Pastafarian and accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I hope that we all join this new religion for the end is near if we dont all become pirates and stop hurricanes, cost
earth quakes and global warming.
Christopher Walken is running for president.
I want to go to this island Tristan da Cunha. It is in the middle of no where in the south Atlantic and has just 276 people and 1 swimming pool.
I am wondering how the people live in that small community away from most and if not all types of mass media. I remeber when we were in Bora Bora – Tahiti and how just quiet it was there. That whole cut of feeling sounds scary and fun at the same time.

I just discovered CIA’s Archive, noun this is stuff that the CIA used to have classified and marked secret but now are open for anyone to go through and read. I been doing a search for Kuwait in the archive and it is like a mini history lesson. Most blurbs about Kuwait before 1990 are just a page or 5 long discussing current politcal and economic situtaiton and other random stuff. Yet even that has some lined nicely marked in black. I wonder what they were saying and what they hid.
One cool one I found was about the Arab Israel situtation in like 1950s and there was this part where they talk about the missles that Egypt and Israel are developing and then there is this huge paragraph that is blacked out. I wonder if it is hiding the fact that around that time Israel got nuclear weapons.
I think this is the section that would interest most Kuwaitis
CIA FOIA – Kuwait, August 1990. So we can get all the cool info about what happend during the invasion, occupation and the following war.
I was with Mark at Souq Sharq for lunch earlier today and we noticed the most amusing thing. Seems the women who were wearing hijabs or even minaqabat were being hit and actually encouraging it.
We saw these 2 guys tailing 3 minaqabat and they were giggling and laughing. When a bunch of non covered girls passed by they ignored them.
Looks like the comments in Q’s post on hijabs. Guess hijabs are just show and not a sign of purity like it used to be.
