The Twilight Zone

For all of you who remember the Twilight Zone, here is a treat for you. Most of the original black and white series can be found here.

WARNING: If you are easily scared, spooked or have psychological problems, don't watch the Twilight Zone, it will scare the heck out of you.

Sharks and Stingray

Here is a little clip I took at the Kuwait Scientific Center a long time ago.





If you have not gone to the Scientic Center at the end of the Gulf Road, go today. It is a lovely day and you will not regret it.

Here is a little map to help you out.

Supersized Ghoozi Feast

Ghoozi is lamb with scented rice served at Arab feasts such as wedding and other distinguished occasions. It is usually served on large trays of rice with the roasted lamb on top and guests share from the same tray. The ghoozi here is on the largest tray I ever saw. This feast appears to be in Saudi Arabia.

Something Old, Something New, Something MBC2

I was watching MBC2 and I saw this movie and I could not remember the name. I racked my brain, but no name pops up. I was fiddling with the remote and hit the [i] button, and the name appeared with the channel info. I hit the [i] button again and a little brief about the movie showed also over the channel info.

This might be old to the techies out there, but it is new to me. Very cool.

Swearing

Do you start swearing if things don't go your way? If someone cuts you off while driving and nearly pushes you off the road, do you start bleeping loudly to yourself and anyone within earshot?

What if it was a life threatening situation like your parachute not opening the way it should?

Here is a Russian parachutist whose parachute got tangled, he started swearing at it in Russian (sorry, I won't translate and have my blog blocked).

Don't play the video if you have Russian speaking people around you.

Office Tea

In most Kuwaiti offices, someone is employed to serve tea and coffee to the employees so that their caffeine level is raised sky high and makes them buzz all day at maximum efficiency. That person is called a farash or Tea boy. A lot of farash's are jealously guarded by their respective departments because they know how to do the coffee just right, or cook the tea to a millisecond precision and add the exact proportions of milk to it. Other farash's that are not so talented, make you hate your morning.

Here is a little movie of our Farash doing his magic:

Letter to Dr. Ruth

If you don't get it, you are probably too young.

iPhone and the rest

The iPhone created a mini revolution once it was announced with all the mobile companies struggling to catch up with its looks and features. You can expect a lot of lookalike phones to enter the market and it already started with the first shot fired by LG with its Prada designed phone.





Excuse my limited fashion knowledge, but doesn't Prada make shoes? How would they know what sort of phone would be useful to me. If that is the new trend, associating your self with a shoe maker, you can expect zanooba mobiles or tamima mobiles.





Motorola already released a D&G RAZR a few month ago, doesn't D&G make overpriced T shirts and Jeans? How can they contribute to making a mobile better? All they did was paint the RAZR gold. If the mobile companies don't come up with more innovative ideas, the iPhone will eat up the market once Apple decides to release a cheap iPhone version a la iPod shuffle.

Balancing Trick

You know how you can balance a broomstick on your palm and and try to keep it upright until it comes crashing on the floor? Or those chinese acrobats where the guy balances the girl sitting on a chair with the chair leg on the guy's forehead?

Well here is a little act with a little person, or rather a 5 month old baby. Simply amazing! Click here to see it.

iPhone Ringtone

Everyone recognizes the Nokia ring tone.

Well here is the iPhone midi ringtone and MP3 ringtone that you will hear if the iPhone proves to be as popular as the iPod. For those musically inclined you, can find the music score here.
