heads up!

Posted in travel on July 5, 2008 by sknkwrkz

as of the middle of august, this blog shall be broadcast ( in as far as text can be broadcast ) from a new far away land.

an odd series of parallel events have resulted in my being deployed to another one of the four corners of the earth,…. to do fierce battle with the evil purveyors of this:

evil yuck

the fight shall be fierce,…

cos that shit’s just gross.

junkies of the above substance rejoice,…. you shall be liberated!

super blueberry muffin!

Posted in Uncategorized on July 2, 2008 by sknkwrkz

this is what happens when you have muffin mix,…

but no muffin tray:

thats a teaspoon, you know for size reference.

super muffin!

coming soon to a store near you,… for occasions when you have to bring a gift, but you dont like the person enough to get them cake.

patent pending. :D

an alternate aggregator

Posted in Uncategorized on June 30, 2008 by sknkwrkz

the last time safat was down i went looking around for an alternative and found this:

http://bloggersarabiakuwait.blogspot.com/

i’ve settled with google reader so i rarely check safat anymore, but its always nice to see if theres anything new once in a while.

the nice thing about this new aggregator is that its not delayed like 2-3 hours.

the sucky thing is that it only shows the latest post and doesnt archive like safat,… which might be a good thing or a bad thing. i think i’ve only ever checked their archives once or twice.

if you didnt know, now you do.

skunk’s five under five

Intlxpatr has started a tag that i think is especially poignant at a time when everyone is paying more at the supermarket, mp’s and governments are fighting over money the world over, and just about every stock market in the world is starting to look like an emo teenager who needs to go on prozac,…. or get a good kick up the backside.

so heres the deal:

list five things that make you happy / smile / not act emo that each or all together cost less than KD5.000

which is roughly US$20 or 10 quid or Euros 12.

or 129782578940375847835784378943078 trillion zimbabwean mugabe dollars.

here are my five:

1- the smell of a good strong cup of home brew coffee first thing in the morning ( none of that starbucks crap,… ps even if a starbucks coffee only costs KD 1.500, it doesnt count cos you have to add the “i am a chump and will pay for a lifestyle image” tax of $50 a cup,…. ).

2- the feeling of a rotating cotton bud in your ear…. i’m surprised there isnt a porn fetish for this yet,… or maybe i just havent looked hard enough,.. not that i’ve looked yet. :|

3- the clipping of nails,…. both toe nails and fingernails,…. but i find toe nails much more satisfying, naturally. ( only my own toenails of course,… i dont want to clip yours or anyone elses!)

4- the first breeze on a freshly shaved head as you walk out the barber shop.

5- that split second, when you jump off the diving board, where youre just hanging, you know right before the plunge.

what?

yes.

of course youre tagged.

you read it, so youre tagged!

why?

cos.

time to google “cotton bud porn”.

brain>think>stomach>get food

on the rare occasions that i actually use my brain for something complex,…

like basic math….

i get hungry.

just one of the many disadvantages to having an unusually large head.

when working, i like to listen to music.

but when working on music, i obviously cant.

which is probably why i have trouble working on my own music for extended periods of time.
