Krispy Kreme at Nuzha Coop

Well, from what I've heard... they've just opened up a Krispy Kreme in our Jam3eya..

Seeing as I'm too lazy to go check for myself... can anyone else confirm this? :p~

That's not the only reason I don't want to go and check.. it's cos I know I'd be leaving with a dozen glazed donuts. YUM! :p~

Take care and stay safe,
The Archer :)

I'M FREE! FREE AT LAST!

Well.. for the next two months that is. Meh.

Ah well, it's certainly better than nothing, isn't it?

I did very well in my finals el7imdillah :D

A couple of questions in my Bio final were a little tricky but I think I did very good :)

After a grueling summer semester tackling three subjects [in three different campuses] I think I've earned my three-hour-bath ritual. Of course, I'm not really free... cos there's the small teensy weensy little subject of GRADES. *insert nervous laughter here*

I would like to wish my fellow students good luck in all of their finals.

And now a special dedication to a dear and beloved professor of ours:

HaPpY BiRtHdAy Dr. "H"


May you have many more happy ones to come that
are filled with joy, laughter, and love.

I wish you great health and happiness :D

Eternally Yours,
The Archer

And one last WOOHOO!

The Joker Strikes Again! for real this time :p~

Why So Serious?

LOL! Check this out...

These undated booking mugs released by the Three Rivers Police Department show Spencer Taylor, 20, of Three Rivers, Mich. Police arrested Taylor who they say tried to steal posters and other items related to the new Batman movie from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker. Mohney says police officers who were dispatched early Sunday, July 27, 2008 to the Three Rivers 6 theater arrived to find employees restraining a man wearing a purple suit, a green wig and face paint in the style of Batman's nemesis in "The Dark Knight."

Underpaid Workers = Overflowing Trash Carts

We've all seen it on the news, read about it in newspapers, and probably heard it from friends or family... Many, if not all, workers are on strike due to neglect from their employers side. They're underpaid, overworked, and not being cared for properly. They've been neglected, disregarded, disrespected, and basically pushed over the edge.

The number of foreign laborers here in Kuwait are about 1.2 - 1.5 million.. and their numbers are on the rise. If even a fraction of them decide to go on strike, the whole country would be in utter chaos.

Take a look as some pictures I've taken of trash cans/carts from my area:






























This certainly is a problem that can't be ignored.. unless we want to be ankle deep in waste and refuse.

What say you? :p

Take care & stay safe,

The New Yorker's Controversial Magazine Cover

This illustration provided by The New Yorker magazine, the cover of the July 21, 2008 issue by artist Barry Blitt, shows Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama dressed as a Muslim and his wife as a terrorist. The magazine says the cover is meant to satirize the use of scare tactics and misinformation in the presidential election to derail Obama

(AP Photo/New Yorker)

...to read more on the story click here

What do you guys think? Who should be offended more? The Muslim community as a whole? or Barak Obama, the Democratic nominee for Presidency?

Be it a satirical criticism of Obama, or political prpaganda.. I personally find this illustration very offensive to Muslims. It was a cheap and tactless approach from Barry Blitt, whose many illustrations I enjoy, to convey his ideas and feelings on Obama's candidancy.

What do you think?

P.S. note the painting hanging on the wall behind the caricature of Obama, and the American flag burning in the fireplace.

Take care and stay safe y'all
