- what do the baladi elections and the blackberry have in common ? all of a sudden, everyone is paying undivided attention to the baladi elections.. which in the past have been more secondary and below the radar. now everyone is talking about it, it's like a habba
- so this morning on my way to work i switched to mix fm, and the song "because i got high" was playing.. lol i certainly didnt expect that, and wonder if there is a whirl of angry parents calling the station to scold them for putting bad ideas into their kids' heads
- yesterday i finally tried skype. i cant believe i've waited until now to use it, it's fantastic and the face to face thing is unbeatable.. not to mention free
- i'm never going to avenues on a friday night again. it's like a zoo. but hopefully 360 will take some of the load. but then again thats what we said about avenues when it opened, there always seems to be enough ppl to fill all locations on thursday and friday nights
- i recommend the book "outliers" by malcom gladwell. it's really cool

so last night after i put up the last 2 posts below, i was browsing and reading some blogs when..... all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my laptop screen started looking as if it were fracturing / melting, until the whole screen looked like irregular yellow & black intertwined patterns. and that was that, restarting (i.e. taking the battery out and putting it back in) didnt help. so i calmly shut it, turned the lights off and went to sleep.
if it still refuses to work today, thats it - i'm getting a mac.

i spotted that town whilst driving up the alps last month.. i had seen it a few years before but thought i was hallucinating. if i were from that town and asked where i was from by a non-frenchie, i would think about lying

i'm off to dubai this weekend and i'll be watching the cirque du soleil show - alegria
i've only seen one show before, which is quidam
they say alegria is one of the best they have, so i'm kind of psyched
i'll just never understand how they can bend like that, it's like they have no bones...

this is actually kind of cool... i saw it on facebook and am starting as a tag here...
How to make your own random album cover:
STEP 1 - NAME OF YOUR ARTIST/BAND
Go to "Wikipedia.com", hit "Random Article" (or just click the following link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article is "The name of your Artist/Band".
STEP 2 - ALBUM NAME
Go to "Quotationspage.com", then click on "Random quotations" (or just click the following link) http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the "Title of your first album".
STEP 3 - ALBUM ART
Go to Flickr.com, click on "Explore", then click on "The last seven days" (or just click the following link) http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
STEP 4 - PUT IT TOGETHER
Crop the image to a square format. Use Photoshop or similar programs to put the text together in any way you like.
Now it's your turn: i tag mosan, pokyface, shwaish, N., plastic, Abdullah , chika, and whomever else feels like it

we've all noticed the growing presence of Russians in dubai lately. well i found this note plastered in my hotel room and thought it was pretty funny (click to enlarge):
basically hotel management is politely asking hotel guests to dress appropriately and in line with the country's culture and traditions. i wonder what they saw in order to feel compelled to write such a note !

Smugglers send migrants overboard to drown
heartless migrant smugglers forced the poor souls off the boat when they saw police nearby
how awful that this still happens in the 21st century
it wistfully reminds me of Gericault's parinting, raft of the medusa...

i'm at the airport right now, and as i went through passport control after cehck in, the guy looks at me straight in the eyes and says "you cant travel, there's a "man3 sefar" (a block) on your name, i'm sorry." so i think to myself SH*T, my traffic fines have finally caught up with me and i'm screwed.
then he smirks and says "it's ok, i'll let it slide and let you through this time."
ha. ha.
