Cartoon Eshin

Ever wondered what it is like to see a cartoon version of Eshin?

Well, here you go. Absolutely top class this one. Now, if only I was that cool in real life.

New Naming

I saw my friend had some Hebrew text after his name on MSN, so I asked him what it meant. It was just his name, so I got a little bored and asked him to translate my name into Hebrew script. He did translate my name (oh, the irony of a Muslim name, written into Hebrew script), but it wasn’t curvy enough for my liking. He suggested Nathan which is kinda cool.

So hence forth, my Hebrew name is Nathan. Nadim/Nathan it’s a pretty close. Although Nadim means friend while Nathan means giving or given. That might also be close, depending on how you spin it.

And no, I haven’t converted.

Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra

Ended up going to a jazz thing on Saturday at the Fringe Club. Not really my cup of tea, but then a little culture never did anyone any harm. Actually, it wasn’t all that bad and they were doing big bandish sort of stuff from Ellington and had also through some swing into the mix. I don’t think my two friends were into it as much as I was in the end since my folks used to play this sort of music when I was younger. They probably still do.

Figured out a couple of things:

1. I prefer modern jazz.
2. Jazz gigs/the Fringe Club is a great place to meet bohemian-style hot chicks.

The last one only really applies if you are looking which explains why my friend hangs out there quite often.

Anyway, check out the Saturday Night Jazz Orchestra at the Fringe Club, every last Saturday of the month.

Laughing Life

Life always finds new and exotic ways of punishing me.

When you find that it can’t get any worse, you discover she also has a morbid sense of humour to teach you a little more humility.

PCCW

Apparently not paying your phone bill gets your phone disconnected.

Go figure.

And not so apparently, paying it doesn’t get it reconnected.
