    Enough. Is. Enough! I know it’s the elections, and I know that you all want to win, and I know that you’re doing the best to pass out your messages (Billboards, Radio, TV, internet, TELEPHONES! , greeting cards, etc.) But I think that by now, we all got your points very very clearly printed into our brains, and I mean it: no need for more propaganda. Let us miss you a bit, give us time to think about all the campaigns you’ve poured into our brain before the d-day! Ever heard of reverse psychology? You’re doing exactly what you should be doing if you wanted most of the population to go for the voting abstinence option. Just give us a break (at least give us Sunday off). Thank you.

    Wonderful news! The Silk Museum website is finally ONLINE… Oh, the reason I’m excited about it is because .. well take a guess 🙂 or go to www.thesilkmuseum.com, search for a clickable moth (somewhere at the bottom of the pages) you’ll see that the website is designed by moi ;).

    But seriously now, we have a beautiful Silk Museum in Bsous (near Jamhour) that I advise each one of you to visit when you get the chance. It is a mixture of beautiful natural landscape, and old craftsmanship (or craftswomanship). An exhibition is currently held there, I’ll let you discover all about it on the website!

    Have a splendid day!

    Well, it was about time we removed all those semi-nudes female ads from the streets. What a joy to see them replaced with… Male hunks! It’s funny how our dear politicians are acting as models now. I must admit I just can’t used to the idea of driving in the streets and seeing semi-photoshopped political figures around instead of the semi-nude super model females. How far will you go for those stupid elections?

  • A walk that makes you smile

    al-younbouh

     

    Today, Sunday May 3rd, was the yearly walk organized by Al Younbouh to support children and people with special needs, and help them integrate more efficiently in the society. Nour and I participated, and enjoyed it. This post is dedicated to all the people with special needs, starting with my sister Nour: I love you all, you make our world better and make our life worth living. If only more money was invested in helping them develop their wonderful skills, instead of those useless pieces of cardboard used to promote old fat politicians…

    Here’s a lovely song dedicated to you: I’m sticking with you, by the Velvet Underground. Enjoy 🙂 (don’t mind the video, I couldn’t find a way to add audio to wordpress!)

    I won’t tell you how I eventually got out of this labyrinth, but I clearly did because I’m telling you the story  right now… And as a conclusion, the following points need to be made: Marina area in Dbayeh needs SERIOUS re-designing. It took me exactly 32 min to get out of it and take the highway. At night the lighting is so weak you can barely see the parked, turned-off cars (which also explains the great amount of tragic car accidents that unfortunately happen there regularly, now I know why!).

    As a side note, to those of you who recognized my badly drawn Jack Nicholson character from the shining: Respect! 😉

    I have a pretty bad history (and luck) with ATMs. Today was the pinnacle. I went to three ATMs in a row, at a time where I badly needed money to pay for the gasoline, otherwise my car would stop in place and I would be late to the (going-to-be-boring) meeting, and not one was working properly, and I don’t think there were other ATMs in the region.  Hope you have a lovely day for a change! 😀
