Ibrahim has read the same column I linked to on cinema, and he has something to say about it.

We have talked about gel pens, but today I found this great fountain pen. What I like about fountain pen is that they are so elegant. (via Mighty Goods)

Clockr is a neat Web-based clock that’s generated via Flickr, which, btw, is unblocked in Saudi Arabia now. I wonder when they are going to block it again.

Saud al-Balawi thinks that our Saudi idea of privacy, “which is really a form of isolation,” is one of the problems behind banning cinema theaters in Saudi Arabia. This is true, but I think the domination of the extremists on many aspects of life in the country is the main problem. We let them to control our lives in the past, but we should not allow them to enjoy that for any longer.

A young teenage boy enters Herfy Restaurant holding two large cups of Pepsi in his hands. He puts them on the counter, and starts yelling at the first employee he sees. “Change this with strawberry milkshake, and put some ice in the other one, now!” “Sorry, sir. You can’t change it like this. You have to pay one riyal more,” the employee says. “Are you a donkey? I’m telling you, do it now!” the boy yells again. “Sorry, sir. I told you I can’t,” the employee told him. “You don’t understand?! My uncle Abu Khaled owns this place, and you told me I can’t do whatever I want!” the boy yells, even louder.

I guess that boy is one of the little princes who cruise the streets of Riyadh in their fancy cars, thinking they own the whole city. And I guess by Abu Khaled he meant Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal, which the Herfy Restaurant are a part of his large group of businesses.

I am a sucker for pens. Even though I use text editors to write all my stuff now, but I still cannot resist the urge to buy more and more pens. One of the good pens I have come across recently is this Inoxcrom Short Gel Pen. I never used to like gel pens, but this little thing was really good that I started to change the way I look at gel pens.

In addition to gold and silver, it is available in black, blue, red, green, and purple. For those in Saudi Arabia and the gulf, you can find this pen at Jarir Bookstore.

I am hooked to Imogen Heap‘s song Say Goodnight And Go. The first time I heard about this singer was last summer, when a dear friend of mine told me about her. I thought the name was weird, so I did not try to Google it and find out more about her. But a few weeks ago, I accidentally stumbled upon that song, and since then I can’t get it out of my head.

“… Why’d you have to be so cute
It’s impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It’s bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go…”
