Water Bottle Walls

In: Fun Times, Hobbies, Movies & TV

I have this strange habit of stacking empty water bottles. I’ve managed to balance and stack up 4 bottles max to date. The round Aquagulf bottles are better than those square Rawdatain ones. The image to the right shows two bottles balanced on my wife’s knee. The stuff she has to put up with! I [...]

Of all the buildings I’ve seen, this was the best lit for Diwali in Kuwait. Its in Salmiya block 10 opposite the football ground. I think its called the Titanic complex? Was expecting Durar complex in Reggae to be lit up real nice but it didn’t beat this one. And the fireworks display at the [...]

There are a lot of TV shows going online now like on Hulu and NBC. However, in Kuwait (and even Dubai) the shows don’t play. Seems you need to be in America to watch them. Norm & Vela were pretty eager to stay up to date on the US election TV coverage. And I was [...]

Was waiting for the lift on my way to the exhibition and wanted to find out what this ran on. I’ve created similar kiosk [...]

About a week ago I posted about hacking traffic signs [Link]. Took this snap while driving to work. Is that a smiley? Hmmmm… I wonder who dun it

Latina Mina Drunk

In: Fun Times, Kuwait

Seems Latina Mina was caught drunk on 99.7. [Link] I really like her afternoon show. The best among all the RJ’s on FM99.7. We were tuned in last night when some Lebanese DJ (very shy voice) was playing house music. She was pretty excited since he was a Doctor of sorts, and his triceps and [...]
