In Israel/Palestine a Jew and a non-Jew cannot get married (they can get married abroad and this is recognized). However, it is obviously possible for a Jew to marry a dolphin! Link.

I am completety and utterly incensed! Last night, I went to Souk Sharq with a couple of Egyptian friends. We sat in my car for almost a 1/2 hour, waiting for a parking spot to open up. When one finally did, I tried to maneuver my car into the spot but it had a sharp turn before it, so it took me a failed few tries. Finally my friend's husband, Freddy, said "Why dont u girls get out, and I

Yup... I'm about to turn 33, and I find myself reflective on the good about being in one's 30's and what it took to get there.Looking back on my 20's, I try not to wince as I recall in detail some of the horrible screw ups I have been through and I am thankful for having survived them.The mindless mistakes and foolish risks taken, pushed by naive curiosity and warnings gone unheeded.

It was just a thought that turned into a weak plan, that ended up getting cancelled, or rather morphed into something else; a bbq at the chalet.The gang and I (7tenths, Doctor Lost, Misplaced, Satisfied Nina, Death_In_Technicolor and some of our non-blogging members) had all decided to go spend Friday in the desert, and bbq our heads off, and then build a massive bonfire once dusk arrived.

I received news that one of my best friends, Bintfilm, was arriving to Dubai along with a few other of my friends from Los Angeles. They were coming to promote their film, Alliance, at the Dubai International Film Festival. Naturally, I immediately proceeded to buy myself a ticket and book a hotel room with my friend, Misplaced, who happens to be an amazing [professional] actress.I ended up

I was wondering... Is it legally permissible, by Kuwaiti Labour Law, for an employer to cut his worker's salary by 50%, after having worked for them almost an entire year?A few of my peers have been telling me that it isn't, however, I thought I would ask on here.Thanks!:-)

This is not a good way for me to kickstart my first Ramadan back in Kuwait.I'm enjoying a coffee during my lunch break with my (best) coworker, Nina, when I receive a call from The Dragon (my grandmother). I call her that because she is known throughout as 'The Woman Who Will Not Take "No" For an Answer'. She is extremely demanding, and is someone most people really go out of their way to avoid

Interesting... I never would have thought it would have turned out the way it did. In all honesty, I did not partake in the voting, and had my own hunch that The Don would have come out with the highest votes... but Bo Jaij did (?!), with The Don riding in second place.So congrats to Bo on that... :-)Poll Question: Blogettes, which of these bloggers would you choose for a dinner date?

Desertgirl returned to Kuwait the night before last. So last night, herself and I had sushi in private room #3, and were accompanied by Bobarino and Fishgirl, as well as Ms. Romania and a new friend DG had met on the plane over... Over sushi we heard horrible stories about Katrina victims that just further confirmed Bush's ashloch status. Not surprisingly, none of it had made it to local

1) see how many carts you can smash yours into before you are removed.2) when someone turns around to get something, steal their cart (if there is a purse or something in the cart, don't steal it unless you want to be charged with stealing or something and if some brat is in there then don't do this either)3) while those little sprays are going, reach in to grab something, have the spray hit

Mmmm-m! Things are getting hot hot hot around here this month! Oh! You thought I was talking about the climate? Well that too. What I am mainly referring to is Mr. Firefighter.The man is hot, hot, hot. He's sexy, cerebral, has obviously studied women well... very well, and enjoys talking for hours with me.

Between the sheets... No, I'm not talking cocktails here, but rather how my weekend was spent."M, B, N... M, B, N..." can you hear how stuffed up my nose is?!I stopped by the International Clinic on Thursday to get Dr. Luther to prescribe some antibiotics for my sinuses, but alas, he was away on holiday... screw august!I'm also told that this is the month of sandstorms and super-humid days...

I think I may end up killing our office teaboy. I derive great pleasure from spooking him to death...In our office, we have these 6 sliding bookshelves that span from the floor up to the ceiling. If you slide the first 2 open, and then the 2nd two again, you can make room within the shelves to hide, by sliding the first 2 closed .so it would be something like:| | | |o| | where "o" is

I haven't heard from firefighter, it's been just over a week. I am guessing he's found other fires to put out, as this one is just inextinguishable (is there such a word? i don't know!)

Not much except work happened on Thursday. Friday:Spent it in B'naider, or Kuwait's Malibu (as I like to call it). Visited Magazine Girl's beachhouse and got roasted again. Mag's husband bought 'his girls' a floating deck and anchored it some ways away off-shore, the tide was high and the wind blew in a south westerly direction, so it took a while to swim to it. Once on it, seasickness crept

Ok, so I went ahead and called TBWA and spoke to their head-honcho, and very politely told him what I thought about the radio spot and asked him in turn how TBWA felt about it."We feel terrible" he says, and "We made the spot and now we are stuck with it, cause the client loves it".When asked if they planned on making any changes to it, the answer came back as "Yes, we do, and right now we are

Polygyny, not Polygamy. See the definition.I met this interesting Kuwaiti (Firefighter) online and we've been having sporadic discussions regarding the cultural differences between us. Despite the fact that we are both Kuwaiti he says I am so unlike the average kuwaitia, and due to that, the chances of me hooking up with a Kuwaiti are extremely slim, lest he be like myself in mentality.

Mr. Geneva... too blah for my taste. Neutral. How Swiss!I've concluded that he does not possess what it takes to make this chick happy. Aside from the fact that he's funny, suave, and still makes me laugh, I believe that it ends there; at friendship. I've told him he is too shallow and have refused to set him up with my single girlfriends... honestly, I do not think he knows quite what he

A couple of days ago I went to Chicken Tikka with a couple of gals from work to check out its salad bar and we are sitting munching away happily, enjoying the view of the Gulf Road through the floor-to-ceiling windows when I happened to look directly down below and spotted a man in dishdasha sitting in his parked car, talking on his cell phone.At first glance, I would not have thought much of it,

Ever get the feeling where that everyone you know is so busy with their lives and you just can't help feel down over it? I've been feeling as such lately... and it's not very fun. :-( To counter it, I've been trying to keep myself busy by filling in the voids of my free time by going to various art exhibitions, or going out on walks by the beach in Shuwaikh or simply visiting the salon and

Felt like I was back in the Moroccan Souk. Was nice to be home on some level... i say home because I spent most of my childhood in Tangier, from 79-88.I went over to a tailor to check out how much it would cost to have a few clothing items made, and to my disappointment realized I was being ripped off. But that's ok, I know the cousin of the owner of that tailorshop, so I will mention

I have decided that as long as I live in this country, I will never, ever date [or marry] a Kuwaiti man.I have many reasons, however let's just say that they are not prime candidates when it comes to giving their significant other respect, loyalty, faithfulness, as well as treating them with discretion and privacy.

I have to say, Mr. Geneva has the patience of a saint! He picked me up after work on Thursday for Sushi over at Edo's. It's a very Zen-like restaurant, and we ate out in the garden, enjoying the sunshine. Turns out we are both 'sun worshippers'...After that, I took him for a ride on "my boat".

I've just made it over the one month milestone!Congratulate me.I have to admit, I am starting to feel slightly claustrophobic. Kuwait IS small. I just put that to the whole 'settling in' experience. Physically things may seem small, however on a social level the boundaries are somewhat more expansive (to a degree). Not helping also is the fact that I am starting to feel 'homesick' for SoCal.

I spent another night in the desert. This time on a more quiet scale. No music, just human voices, laughing and talking, debating and by the end of the night yawning.It was a dinner I had attended a la bedoun style. Once again with my side-kick Desert Girl we headed into no man's land.I walked out into the darkness, away from the getoun tent and neon lights, taking in the stillness of the

there are only two really and that is to surround yourself with FRIENDS. The other one would be a mantra that goes something like this:"There's no such thing as V-Day and all the red I see is a result of burst ocular capillaries" Mostly, I worked my heiney off. Overtimed during lunch (again today), and after business hours. Last night I went over to Desert Girl's pad for the 'Pathetic Losers

This blog addition is dedicated to Desert Girl since she's so insistent that I write about the party we went to.I ended up being taken out by Desert Girl, along with El Mexicano, to a villa that housed a few pink flamingos, ducks and a white and black llama. Who needs Kuwait zoo when you got it in your back yard?! I got my hand nuzzled by the llama and was thankful that I did not get spit on.A

Yup. Back with a vengeance. So the other day I'm riding with 3 of my co-workers on our way to marina's food court for lunch and we passed by StarCraps next to Azhar Center, you know, the one with the outdoor seating. I spotted a blue Harley parked out front of it so I poked my head out the window and yelled "Aaaaaaaw! It's The Donnnn!!!" I checked to see if some guy's head looked up. Better

My faithful fans! [wink] It's been a while since yours truly's blogged, I just have NOT had the time. What with my new job and having had to immerse myself into my new reality, as well as trying to overcome jetlag I've been anxious to get back into blogging. Update in random order: I've hooked up with Desert Girl and have been having a blast with her. She's exhiliratingly funny, and knows

Let the harassements begin! Ehhh oui! I got harassed over in Salmyah this afternoon. This morning I was up at 4:30AM, still adjusting jetlag-wise, so by 8AM I headed over to Jean's resto in Sultan Center in the "new-place-built-on-the-sea". It had a nice view of the Gulf road... I later met up with a friend and headed over to buy some makeup at this shopping center, where? i dunno! the

I sit here with heavy eyelids and a trio of kuwaiti men about 20 ft away from me. I have arrived in London and am sipping on a caffeinated beverage to stay awake long enough to squeeze a few words into this blog. So, I've been getting these stares from the local British Desi (Indo-Pak) airport employees, I am thinking they likes what I am wearing but are not commenting? Well one did. When I

So, I thought I would post a long, overdue update on yours truly. This last week has defintely been a trying phase of my life. I have not had much time to be melancholic about leaving LA and the life I have established for myself here. Last night I was taken out to dinner by my friends to Cafe Habibi, on Broxton, in UCLA village. MLK holiday, so things were swinging. I had a good time, and

I took some photos of certain places I have frequented in Santa Monica and Venice Beach [with exception to the Rest Haven, which is across the street from where I live], however they were taken super late on a weeknight when most people were off the streets, aside from nightowls like myself. More [daytime] photos to come:-) to view the rest of the images, click

I received this in my email, and have checked the link at the bottom. Amazon users have had some interesting things to say for and against this book. I myself am against it. I find it somewhat amusing, if not slightly offensive that its printed by "WinePress" printing press. What I would really like to know is if it is true that this book is being circulated amongst Kuwait's private english

My wish for everyone this year is to come closer to finding themselves and their goals, and may this year be better than the last! I hope for the following: -a smooth transition into Kuwait. -make friends who will bring me up and not down -to be a positive force to myself and those around me -to keep living large -that Zouina will have a good life wherever she is. -iraqis will continue to kick

The next person to wish me a merry xmas or happy holidays is going to get smacked. I am so over it! Holiday based on historical ignorance and mass consumerism that just makes you want to gag yourself with a spoon (Oh my god! I am totally, like, speaking "valley" here!) That aside, Carrie and Lou, my next door neighbours, invited me over for a great Xmas party. The theme: Fire and Ice. We

Brief update on yesterday: Looked for Zouina in all Santa Monica/West L.A. Animal Shelters... to no avail. Today. Not much happened except that I was wisked off by Verna (my friend and attorney) over to her friends' Anna and Paul's shop Kidrobot. Tonight was their grand opening in Los Angeles, and we were admitted ahead of the rest because the qeue of fans was very long indeed! Reason being,

I was doing a google search today on Kuwaiti films, and filmmakers, and came across an (outdated) BBC article about Kuwait banning Fahrenheit 911 from being shown in state movie theatres. I am completely incensed! "We have a law that prohibits insulting friendly nations," said Abdul-Aziz Bou Dastour of the Information Ministry." Since when is a nation that refuses to return money that you had

I've noticed some bloggers have posted images of what their dwellings look like, and I thought I would too. I hope I have not contributed to overkill, but I wished to 'memorialize' the home I will be leaving shortly... My Abode: 1) outside view from street 2) the garden, many of my hours contributed! 3)

I have certain concerns about moving to Kuwait. If you've been following my blogs, this would not be news to you. The thing is, recently I have had new concerns come to light... and they are ones of a personal nature rather than external. The main one I would have to say is my faith. A practicing Muslim is something I never was. Having been born in Australia, and spending a big part of my

I was walking through the aisles of Petco and made my way over to the Aquatic section to purchase some crickets for my garden. Once I had all 50 of them in the bag, I turned around and my attention wascaught by a young man and his female companion walking by a few yards away from me. I focused in on the man's t-shirt, making out the faint design on the back, and slowly my blood began to boil. I

Zouina is missing!!! It's partly my fault, really. I had let her out without her collar, as I had taken it off to clean it, and then wash her. The cold weather had delayed her bath, hence delayed the return of her collar to her little neck. (kicking myself here) I let her out as I had many a time, leaving my 'luck' to the fates that she will return as she had the previous times, only that night

Aggggh! Day 8 of having to go to Velocity Cafe, which is around the corner from my pad, to use their internet connection, cause Adelphia can't get their friggin act together! The scoop: I made an appointment with them to fix my DSL connexion on the 3rd. Back entrance to cable box was locked and I had no combination to open it. The tech dude was afraid of getting hurt by jumping out my kitchen

I have made up my mind where I am going to move to... and its [drumroll] back to Kuwait! Just when I thought I had left it for good, I am going back. Oh God, Why?! Negativity aside, I think that part of living out my purpose on this planet is to go there. I have a hunch something big is gonna happen, and it is good. Don't ask me what, cause I ain't tellin'! Be nice to me and I just may

Today is November 2nd. As I wait for the election results to come out, I have come to the definite decision to leave the US. Not becaus eI think Bush will be stealing the elections again, but because, God willing, I have something better waiting for me there. This is my first blog posting, and I am not exactly sure what to stuff in this entry, but I am sure come tomorrow I will have a better
