<p>The person who comes up with the best solution will win &#8230; (<em>you guessed it) </em>an <strong>iPad*</strong>! That&#8217;s the only idea for a gift that brands seem to have these days. So that was my parking nag for today. Now, Bob Dylan has something to sing for you. Enjoy and have a lovely day! <img src='http://mayazankoul.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile Once upon a parking spot" class='wp-smiley' title="Once upon a parking spot" /> </p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Lately, it seems to be the trend. The plumber, the taxi driver, the carpenter, all send me invoices of &#8220;as much as I want&#8221;. I wonder how they have the guts. Imagine I send Burburry lady an invoice of &#8220;as much as you want&#8221;, I&#8217;d end up with nothing! <img src='http://mayazankoul.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile As much as you want!" class='wp-smiley' title="As much as you want!" />  Guess they&#8217;re hoping for more than they were planning to ask for. Next time I will keep them up to their words and REALLY give them as much as &#8220;I&#8221; want! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s a hectic week over here, lots of projects on the way, but so far I can proudly announce that I am <a href="http://www.arabicalistapart.com/profiles/mayazankoul/" target="_blank">illustrating</a> for the <a href="http://www.arabicalistapart.com" target="_blank">Arabic version </a>of <a href="http://www.alistapart.com" target="_blank">A List Apart</a> magazine for web designers, thanks to the very lovely <a href="http://www.twitter.com/BeshrKayali" target="_blank">Beshr Kayali</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.twitter.com/mkayyali" target="_blank">Mohammad Kayali</a>.

<p><em>Getting new jazz CDs in an addiction that – unfortunately, and given that buying original CDs is one of my deepest beliefs – costs a decent amount of money. Whenever I go to a music shop and contemplate all the possibilities it just breaks my heart to the core because I know I will get out with only one or two items :&#8217;( Well, at least there&#8217;s one or two items, let&#8217;s start our day with a positive thought! <img src='http://mayazankoul.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt="icon biggrin My weakest point" class='wp-smiley' title="My weakest point" /> </em></p>
<p><em>PS. This post is dedicated to Alain, one of the best musicians of the century, who ingrained this addiction in me, and who has an unequalled passion for music.</em></p>
