Finding some old video tapes

I can’t believe the DVD guy WATCHED the videos I sent him. Not only did he watch them, but he also had the guts to comment about the fashion & lifestyle of the 80’s and how we spent our time back then. Wlak at least don’t SAY that you watched them! Apparently he didn’t have much to do during the day. Lebanese & their curiosity.

Anyway, I just felt like holding a pencil and scribbling & here’s what came out 🙂 Couldn’t possibly let you go to your weekends without a quick post!

Have a lovely weekend my darlings! And here’s Chick Corea’s “Love Castle” from his album “My Spanish Heart”.

    Amazing like usually.. so what are the videos about? Is it your childhood? Your life in the 80s?
    Take care.

    This might sound strange but where did you take your videos to be converted? I have some Betamax and VHS tapes I brought to Lebanon when we left Kuwait during the 1990 invasion and they’re still tucked away in one of the closets at my grandma’s. Would be cool to convert them to digital.

    Well Maya, copying VHS to DVD would require playing the whole tape, so i guess the guy would be very obliged to watch everything, unless he purposefully intends not to. who would miss such an exciting opportunity!
    but yea, he should at least shut up and not brag about it lol!

      But he should not mention it! So funny.

    Why am I not surprised? It’s almost like they feel entitled to this or something, so entitled in fact that he can casually allow himself to comment. hmpffff!!!

    I love this unconventional style, which we are not used to on this blog 🙂 Very expressive, and it actually put us in the mood for something very dark and twisted 🙂

    been there… stupid ppl…

    Lyom sar ma3e she be3asseb. A “friend” more like someone I know was trying to help his “GF” install the latest Live MSN. So he was like all over me… I even searched for the download link, w kel shway y2elle “hurry man hurry”. Then it was finally download, HALELUJAH! BUT, the file was no place to be found. So 23od ya walad hawel tefham menna (3an taree2o) wein el file.

    The conclusion is, some Lebanese ppl are veeeeeery computer illeterate! Computers are being used just for chatting w ta22 hanak… I really would be thankful if u posted somehting about this “plague” so as ppl like me yfesho khel2on!!

    i like the different style of this post! ive grown quite addicted to this blog! you have a lovely way of illustrating in a simple way each passing thoughts in our heads! i love your outlook on the matters.

    back to this post, i wonder if the look at pictures when they develop them… that would be a big problem for various reason (e.g. veiled women with their veils off)

    the nerves to that guy to brag about it… must have been two interesting videos! 😛
