back to the 80's

Posted: October 19th, 2009, 2:45am PDT by bored

i've finally got an internet connection at home that's worthy of letting me never go back to jabriya video and just download everything i wanna watch. strange thing is till now i haven't downloaded a single new movie, some are fairly new but for some reason i find myself downloading movies i haven't seen in almost 20 years. talk about feeling nostalgic, and not only that, am now actually understanding the movies (my english being far better than it was pre-american education). so in some ways its like seeing them for the first time...i found this video that has everything that was the 80's, for those who grew up in that time would no doubt feel a bit of reminiscence for our childhood years...if you do, heres a list of some of the top movies of the 80's, i recommend you give yourself some free time to download a few and enjoy...

french burgers

Posted: April 17th, 2009, 5:30pm PDT by bored

yesterday me and two friends had burgers at the new french place in avenues phase II (i simply cannot remember the name) the red cafe across from dean & deluca between Hagen daz and caribou, yeah it's open now. anyways, me and two other friends went there and had to wait approximately 15 minutes for a table. we usually hate waiting for a table especially if we were hungry enough to eat a whole ghoozi, each. but this was a new place newly opened and we thought it might be worth the wait. at least we were trying something new. and because it was new to us, naturally we ordered half the menu. we had onion soup for appetizer which was good if you like onion soup. i ordered warm goat cheese salad (yes i ordered a salad), wasnt that bad but when you eat the cheese you are going to know that it really came from a goat, and not in a good way, but i guess thats just how the french do it. oh i loved the bread basket, am a bread lover and i appreciate a good selection of french bread. for our main dish we ordered hamburgers, medium well of coarse. mine was, as you can see, didnt have lettuce or tomato because i like it this way. the hamburgers were in my opinion the best thing we tried at that place, but maybe am saying this cuz of my prejudice towards hamburgers, but if your a hamburger lover you know your just gonna have to try it. we also ordered the calamari dish and spaghetti bolo(naiz), both of which werent any good and not recommended by the bored kuwaiti food tasters club. we would have tried some dessert but unfortunately as it stood, there wasnt any room in our over extended bellies for it. i think there would definitely be a next time if only to sit there and have coffee and dessert, cuz also the seating area is nice and you get a good view of all the passers by, which could prove popular in kuwait.
ps: polls has been updated!
the iphone wins...for now

Posted: April 13th, 2009, 5:37pm PDT by bored

i have been struggling for a while now trying to decide which phone i was going to make mine. i have been using the old iphone for a little more than a year now and have gotten so used to the touch screen and all that other iphone shit that whenever i touched another phone my insides twist with disgust as to how can anyone feel satisfaction with a button keyboard or those very small screens that dont react to your every touch! this is the ultimate reason why i choose to stick with apple. it was either that or the blackberry bold, and the only reason i considered the bold was because of the habba status. i just felt everyone has one and i was being left out. bs i figured the biggest reason kuwaities love it oh so much is cuz of the bbm, and i realized none of my close friends have it so what use is it to me to get it and not bbm anyone? also the first question on the polls blog was which u prefer, iphone, bb or an old school phone and to my surprise the blackberry came in last, iphone second and old school nokias and Ericsson's were by far the most preferred mobile of choice. since i wasnt gonna go back to using a conventional phone i decided that, for now at least, i'd stick with the iphone. Also a great thing about it is when i plugged the new phone into my laptop i got a msg prompting me to either restore my old phone settings or not. not knowing exactly what that would do i said yes! and to my delight it restored all, i mean alll of my old phone settings. Contacts, ringtones, all the applications i downloaded, all the settings, past emails, and it even copied all the sms msgs i had on my old phone and put them in the new one. Heck, all the missed calls and internet bookmarks and youtube favourites were copied too. it did make me feel, for a bit at first, that i just wasted 260 KD on the same exact phone, but thats just to show you how easy and convenient it is changing phones without the hassle of setting things or copying sim card and all. over all, it was a good choice and am happy with it, but i cant say i wont get a bb in the future, cuz you really never know.

they sell reeses peanut butter cups here! i couldnt believe it. dont know if they have been doing so for a while wana tawny aktishif bs these little things were an obssesion of mine back in 92 and 93 when we were living in DC and i was chucking them cups down like they were m&m's. athkir 9ij kint atfanan eb the way i eat them. talk about a nostalgic moment. kint wagif bljam3iya with the cashier sliding my stuff on the scanner and el bnaya ele wagfa waray et7i6 her things on the belt, that is when my eye noticed a small thin rectangular orange thing, 2 of them god bless her soul, sitting infront. needless to say i told the cashier to freeze while i ran down the aisle looking for them cups. there they were, hundreds of them sitting there. so i took two (am trying to lose wieght, ha!) and went back to pay for me stuff. below is one of me fav old time commercials, how do you eat your reeses?

Posted: March 17th, 2009, 2:33am PDT by bored

this has been an easy week so far compared to the previous 2 months of hell i've been through bl dawam. basically all i have to do is go to the kuwait university job fair in cba for our company and sit there and answer peoples questions. we will take your applications and cv's 6ab3an bs you can forget about getting a job offer from us at this time. as a matter of fact, almost all of the companies who are participating in this job fair are not offering any jobs at the moment. hell, even Global has a booth there lol madre laish. yimkin el wa7eedeen ele ga3d ya3600n job offers are NBK for part time call center jobs or viva for i dont know exactly what. but i really felt bad for a lot of the graduating students, i mean where are they gonna go? seriously a7is radaina 3ala ayam awal ele the only 2 places you can aspire to work in blkuwait are the government or banks (not even that now) or get in the family business, if you have one. a7is it's a good time to start your own business now. anyways, too bad bacher is the last day, back to the office the day after.
