The pleasures of idleness
Came across the Idler website [link] while I was searching for a chapter in a mystery book I had read years ago on the Pleasures of Idleness. It was explained with a beautiful painting which I can’t seem to find now.
As copied and pasted from the site’s About page:
The Idler is a bi-annual, book-shaped magazine [...]
Grocery shopping
It’s now become a habit for me to write down the grocery list for the week on a large post-it note and stick it either to or inside mario’s wallet. Sultan center in Salmiya was a good place at first, however getting a parking spot is such a problem and it becomes very crowded inside the centre [...]
Finding Nemo
Sushi seems to be everyone’s favourite food. 4 years back, a friend Hang (and some 2 words after his name which I don’t remember - he was Korean) offered sushi to a group of us. We being first time eaters didn’t know what to expect and gulped it. Afterwards, one guy in the group had a strange [...]
DONKEY!
My yapsolutely favourite character in Shrek…and what a great visual of Neil Diamond’s ‘I’m a believer’!
The way donkey irritates Shrek and gets on his nerves is so much fun to watch. Eddie Murphy’s voice is just so apt. Same reason why Mushu makes Mulan a treat to watch. I liked the movie more after watching it [...]
YST

Came across this joke, and it seems too good not to be entered as a post. Have fun!
A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to [...]
Paton’s Cointreau Flavored Macadamia Nuts
Mario came back from Dubai with a box of Paton’s Cointreau flavoured macadamia nuts among other things purchased at the airport’s duty free shop. This was midnight 22nd. By now, time 5.16 pm, the box is half over with me being the major ,for lack of a better word, devourer. They are so incredibly tasty [...]
Monk theme song on the ukulele
Came upon this video when I was looking out for some of the latest episodes of Monk on YouTube. I feel the song sounds much better on this than on the guitar (of which there are more videos)…it looks kinda cute too
Chore’s a bore
Yesterday was the day I decided to do spring cleaning. Got up the last few days snoozing my alarm till way beyond breakfast time (or morning for that matter). Surprisingly last morning I woke up before my alarm started screeching “That thing you do” (pun not intended)..reason being I wanted to make my bladder gladder. [...]
