Riyadh Radio

well it's been exactly a week since i moved to rio ... i mean riyadh ...

as far as the area i'm living in is concerned it's great ... everything i need is nearby ... and there's even a carrefour within walking distance ... and the commute to work is fast and easy ... so i'm happy with the location ... btw the street i live on is called sibawaih street ... for those who don't know who sibawaih is click here ...

as far as the apartment itself ... i like it ... it's actually intended for two people to live in so i have a lot of space ... currently using the second bedroom as a storage area seeing as how i still haven't unpacked ... so yeah i like it ... i would say it's perfect except for the occasional cockroach that i discover from time to time ... but i live on the first floor so that's bound to happen ... and besides they're usually dead when i find them ... lying motionless flat on their backs ... although i did have to kill a few ... but that was mostly when i first moved in ... they've pretty much stopped bothering me since operation raid gas chamber ...

anyway ... i still haven't bought any furniture ... all i bought so far was a tv and a dvd player ... so i don't have to stare at the walls when i get home ... been playing some playstation ... a little bit of this ... a little bit of that ... and watching a dvd from time to time ... i don't get any tv channels so that's why ... i need to subscribe to showtime or something ... also been reading the biography of kurt cobain ... oh my goodness he was one disturbed individual ... i'm about halfway through it ... but it will forever change the way i listen to a nirvana song ...

but yeah payday is in a few days ... so when i get my salary i plan on paying a visit to ikea and casing the joint ... i need a bed ... and a tv stand ... and a couch ... and a coffee table ... and a chest drawer for my clothes ... a bookcase ... i think i'm gonna be in there for like 5 hours ...

i also need to hit up carrefour and get a fridge and a microwave ... and maybe some other random things ... like ashtrays and trash bins and what not ...

my car should be ready within a week ... hooray ... carla ... i miss you ...

as far as social life is concerned ... i saw a couple of college friends ... mostly we just go out to eat dinner although on one occasion one guy came over and we watched a movie ... i called a girl i knew back in college and we made plans for next weekend so i'm kind of excited about that ... but in general my daily routine goes something like this ... i get home from work ... eat ... shower ... and sleep ... wake up late at night ... play a little playstation ... or read ... then fall asleep again ...

what else ... work is boring ... everyone is too busy for me right now ... they're getting ready to move to the new facility ... and until they finish moving they will continue to ignore me ... but my manager told me that once the move is complete he will have a ton of work for me ... so we'll see ... they should be done within a month ... they promised me a laptop ... but they still haven't given it to me ...

i think that about covers it ...

over and out ...

thanks for listening ...
