For the past 3 weeks or so I couldn\’t access the wordpress dashboard and I was swamped with work that I didn\’t have the time to figure out the problem (while I\’m at work). \n\nSo here we go again.. I can post .. I can even post from my blackberry with the new wordpress application which I love so far.\n\nGlad to be posting again :)
Lately I have been on twitter all the time… and I have to blame it on BLaSha and Alsubaih! but seriously.. what the hell is with twitter? you don’t get it unless you use it for a while and then it just becomes a second nature that you update your status and bitch about thing that annoys you.
All I have to say is everyone should be on twitter!
10 Items or less, Another show that I watched season 1 of.. it’s easy watching.. not the kind of show that I can watch over and over like scrubs or the big bang theory but it’s ok to watch.. I would give it 2.5-3 out of 5 if i really have to rate it.
The show is about this grocery store which is inherited by the son of the founder and now is being managed by him (he reminds me Michael Scott from the office). it’s all about how they are struggling to keep the shop open and not screw up.
I plan to finish the rest of the seasons as each season is between 5-8 episodes.. there are 3 seasons so far.
Bushido is the new IT place in Bahrain since it opened couple of months ago, It’s a Japanese restaurant with a lounge in the second floor.. so lets talk about it
Restaurant:
Their starters are as good as any other good Japanese restaurant so I wouldn’t be expecting anything special there, yet it’s good. the sushi I thought was below average. their main course though was pretty amazing, I tried ther rip-eye teppanyaki and it was delicious!
The lounge:
remind me of Buddha bar (hence the rumour that Bushido is a Buddha bar replica, it’s not though) the atmosphere is amazing but the service was bad the first time I was there. Yet I think it was better the second time around.
definitely worth seeing.. for the atmosphere at least.
My car was a the shop for a week or so, and HJ gave me his car to use for the time being.. and after driving it I would like to share my opinion on it.
Pros:
Fuel consumption is really good.
Car looks amazing.
High speed handling is great!
Sound system is good.
Acceleration is good.
Cornering is near perfect.
Takes some guts to get it out of traction.
Breaking is great. (from a previous experience)
Cons:
Convertible (HJ wouldn’t agree with me obviously)
Air sound is noticeable at high speed.
Automatic transmission (not a fan of the tiptronic they have and the way it shifts)
Things I would have changed if I am buying a Carrera would be:
Few days ago we watched New In Town on DVD. the movie was ok in my opinion, had some funny stuff (I guess too romantic for my taste). I loved the accent, it was amazing :P
The movie is about am executive that was sent to a factory own by her company to restructure it and ended up closing it up making the town out of jobs, soon after that she decided that was wrong and managed to help the town… and of course while she was there she falls in love (the too romantic for my taste part).
This is a great website for people who uses the King Fahad Causeway often. it has a live update of the traffic status on the bridge for both ways. I can’t say how accurate is it because I haven’t compared it to real time and I’m not a frequent traveller on this route.
