Review: Doomsday
I have been waiting for this movie for some time, thinking its going to be a some thing like resident evil with some cool action. Then there was Rhona Mitra, who is very hot which is another positive aspect of this movie. I was sorely disappointed with this movie, it went from an action movie such as 28 weeks later to crazy world such as Espcape from New York, then jumped into Castles and Fortresses such as Robin Hood. I didn’t know where they were going with it, but it was a roller coaster and I kept looking at my watch. If you haven’t seen this movie, then don’t, it isn’t the worst movie out there, but it could have been a lot better.

The Shredder
The most entertaining and satisfying object there is in an office is the shredder. I feel very satisfied when I am done with some work and I take all the papers I have straight to the shredder. Then I stand there for some time watching it shred all the papers, there is that thought that something might get caught in it but we can avoid that. I remember all the desks got messier the first time the shredder broke, but now that we have a new one hopefully it will last a lot.
Zain Bulk Election Msgs
Getting bulk sms messages get really annoying especially during this election period. I seem to be getting one every 30 minutes about one candidate or the other, it doesn’t matter where you are registered you just keep getting them. This was driving me nuts for the longest time until one comment on pearls blog which solved the issue to a degree.
Text OUT to 90037 ,and you will receive a text message from zain saying “you have been blacklisted from all zain bulk messages” or something similar to that. It isn’t perfect but in one day I received about two to three messages instead of the usual 30 to 40 messages.

Wowwee Bladestar Recieved
I have been curious about this product for some time now, I saw it was selling used on Ebay for about $35 and decided to get it. I received it yesterday, and it comes in this cool brief case, makes you think that its a spy tool rather then a flying toy. It turned out to be a lot smaller then I thought it was, the pictures looked a lot bigger then it was, I switched it on trying to test the sensor system which is supposed to avoid objects, but I haven’t gotten the hang of it yet. I was almost taken out by this little flying contraption, its supposed to fly away from objects, but this might programed with a kamakaze directive.

I Got a Breast Implant
This is what happens when your friend is a surgeon and you end up with a fake boob in your hands. This is probably one of the funniest things I have yet to see, and we were shocked how much this C-Cup costs. It seems over the past few years breast implants have been the new thing for women in Kuwait, and this one boob costs 3000 KD because it is top of the line.
It has some cell memory type gel which makes it special, and then there is the material. It is very interesting to hear all the details from the perspective of the doctor, and how different surgeons place this implant differently and how to get a better job. I’m still laughing about this boob, and it does feel soft but still very fake.

Avenues after Sundown
We are currently working on a project, and some space was made for this project. K needed a work bench/desk for the testing area and setup. So we decided to go to IKEA but none of us were free to go before 7:45 pm, since we didn’t get back from work until late.
We went to the avenues, and the parking lot of was packed at IKEA, we found some parking towards the end of the lot. We went to Araan to pick up some coffee, and I felt like a Krispy Kream doughnut which I haven’t had in months. To say that we look disheveled was an understatement, but some how we still looked normal or less freaky then half the people walking inside the avenues. There were three boys wearing bandanas and their boxers on the outisde thinking they are the coolest thing in the world. I wish I had my camera with me, I was so tired I forgot it at home. Some women had so much make up that their eyelashes somehow looked part of their eyebrows. When you start seeing these freaky sights, it sends a chill down your spine. So we decided to hurry up the pace, we flew through IKEA which felt more like an obstacle course due to people walking slow, we picked up what we wanted and headed towards the safety of our homes.

Ironman Bust
I have always been a fan of Ironman, and other Marvel Comic characters, mostly all comic characters, especially the interesting superheros who have flaws. Right now Ironman the movie has got my blood going, and as I was browsing through the slideshow website, I stumbled upon this life size bust. Its is th realistic size of the top half of Ironman’s armor and I am really thinking about getting this and placing it on a mantel of some sort, I don’t care where I place it but I have to it, what do you guys think? Oh and the eyes glow.

The Sanctuary
This is probably one of the best products for a tech junkie, I have a ton of wires all over the place just to charge all the gadgets. A storage solution which solves your everyday need. You can place 99% of all your gadgets in one are with your keys and wallet while it gets charged, you don’t have to have so many wires for all your gadgets. This can work in the kitchen, bedroom, desk or anywhere you want to organize. It works with 120 or 220 volts, and with that one unit it can provide power to all the items below. This really would solve a lot of my problems, the only thing is that I would want it a little bigger, that would really be cool.

Headset Fines
So the police have something new and useless to add to their fines such as using your phone while your driving. I don’t mind this law at all, since I have been using bluetooth for over 6 years now, before even Sony merged with Ericsson. They can’t seem to fix our lights, at least install sensor traffic light systems, stream line our fine payment process, fix our roads, or fix the 777 hotline so that someone answers the damn phone.
Just for everyone’s information, the police can fine you directly and indirectly, so it is up to the discretion of the police officer. If they see you talking, all they need is your plate number, car make, and color. So they can fine you if you are moving or if they stop you. I wonder how long this is going to last.
On another note, headset sales has gone through the roof, so much so that there is a current shortage in Kuwait for almost every kind of headset.
Drive Space Junkie
One year ago I thought I had more then enough space to satisfy all my downloading habits, I knew I might need to expand later on. I was completely wrong as to the scale of expansion, the amount of space that I have has expanded exponentially over the past couple of months due to my archiving all my Movies, TV Shows, and Anime, then taking all that media and backing it up.

That is the current space that I have available to me, I think I’m using 63% between all the drives, and I haven’t fully backed up everything at this point I know when the 1.5 TB Drives come out, it is going to jump up very quickly.
