Prison Break Seasons 1-3 - Review

My review are not long and drawn out, so let’s make this simple.  This is the review for all 3 seasons in my short formed frustrated version.
How many bad things can happen to a group of people?  Seriously, a few mishaps is fine, but at every turn when something goes wrong, it appears they are [...]

Photoshop Tutorials

Everyone knows about the potential of Adobe Photoshop.  Many of us use it for the simple task of resizing pictures while others of us may use it to create our very own works of art.  Fortunately, with a program like this, there is ALWAYS more to learn: another technique, point of view, or tool you [...]

Observation: Learning Arabic

Please don’t try to learn to SPEAK arabic solely from a book!! I know I’m not perfect, and yes, my arabic needs tons of work, but when your job involves interacting in the Arabic language, get a real class or an audio self-paced class.
Another suggestion, learn the letters, then the sounds, then learn to speak.  [...]

New Apartment Woes

After finally finding a place and getting the price correct, we are now finding little things that are irritating us.  The washer, for one, doesn’t work the best in the world and sometimes gets stuck on the cycles.  Secondly, the stove was changed out for an electric one, but there is no outlet in that [...]

Does the Kindle Work in Kuwait?

Has anyone seen a working Kindle in Kuwait, as in dowloading everything over the air and all that good jazz?  The choices of magazines and books here kinda suck, and I was thinking of getting the Kindle to read the books I purchase.  I tend to get my books from Amazon anyway.  Magazine subscriptions rock [...]

Colleges With Biology Majors in Kuwait?

There has to be some college with some sort of curriculum with a medical type of focus around here.  Any suggestions for colleges with some sort of medical/biology major, besides KU (if it even has one)?  Looking for a college Lana can get into.  Prices and locations doesn’t matter, as long as it is in [...]

Tea, Tea, Tea!

I am a tea… dare I say it…. fanatic… I love tea!  I really do.  It’s safer and healthier than soda, contains mostly water, and it tastes AWESOME!  I recently went to amazon.com and purchased some random tea goodness from China Mist and Culinary Teas.
From China Mist I got the sampler pack, which contains 2 [...]

Kuwait FastFax

I was browsing the Safat RSS feed that I have on my iGoogle main page, and came across a link from “Doesn’t play well with others.”  It contains a link to the gomideast site, specially the FastFax page on Kuwait.  It does seem fairly accurate.  I have e-mailed the site to have them update the [...]

To Teflon or Not to Teflon…

…that is the question.  I remember in 2004 the big hubbub about DuPont and teflon.  There was a class-action lawsuit from 50000 or so people and it was settled for $107.6 million. 
I’ve read alot of things that say teflon is safe, and others that say it is not safe.  I don’t cook with metal spoons [...]

Wii Fit Works!

Ouchies! For anyone who is doubting this device, it WORKS! I have noticed such a huge improvement in the past 3 days alone.  The game even asked me if I noticed a difference in my abs.  I guess it is tracking which exercises I do ;)  The wonderful thing is you get to choose your [...]
