how to pronounce cajun
i have been making a conscious effort to avoid fast food ... or fast food chains to be more specific ... like mcdonalds and kfc and burger king and so forth ... except for subway and little caesars ... because those are good ... but i get sick of eating the same things over and over ... you only have so many options ... so today while driving home i saw a sign advertising a new sandwich at mcdonalds ... so i was like ok ... i didn't catch the name but i noticed the word cajun on there ... so i was like ok i'll eat that today ... so i went to the drive-thru and the guy opened the window ... he was a saudi ... yes saudis work at mcdonalds believe it or not ... so i told him biddi wa7de min hai il jdeede il cajun ... and i pronounced it correctly ... cajun ... rhymes with mason ... he's like eeh tagsid il kajoon ... rhymes with ma3joon ... i was like ah hiye hai ... and in case you were wondering the sandwich wasn't that bad ... it's the mcarabia but with cajun sauce ... but i won't get it again ... i just wanted to try something new ...

dreaming
i went home to dhahran for the weekend .. got back to riyadh at 5:30 am .. work at 8 .. so as you might imagine i was extremely tired by the time i got home from work .. i ate my dinner and fell asleep soon afterwards .. woke up a short time ago .. anyway i had this weird dream i want to tell you about ..
i don't know i remember at one point i was with my dad waiting for some road assistance truck to come help us with a car breakdown .. but later on somehow i'm at the beach .. and for some reason i had left my stuff unattended .. and i come across these little kids trying to steal my stuff .. so i come over and i give them a good "verbal lashing" if you will .. basically told them to put my stuff down and that if they touch it again they're dead .. or something like that .. so they drop my stuff and run away all scared .. then one of them comes running back and grabs my ipod .. and i'm like hey put that down .. i thought you know he's just gonna touch it and be like oooh i touched your stuff and run off .. but he actually took it and ran with it .. then he threw it into the ocean .. and i'm like you ass .. and i go retrieve it and of course it's ruined .. so i chase the kid and beat the crap out of him .. then later on in the dream somehow i am at his front door to have a talk with his parents .. and as i explain to them what happened .. the father is very uninterested .. and when i asked him what he's going to do about it he's like nothing .. so i ended up beating him up as well .. and his wife was all get out of my house you thug .. there was more to the dream but that's the only part i remember so clearly ..

Julia Lira, 7, dances during a rehearsal by the Viradouro samba school in Rio de Janeiro late Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2010. The tiny dancer will be at the helm of the Viradouro samba school's parade at the upcoming Rio carnival. The Viradouro samba school has been known in the past for having local superstar actresses at the front of their shows.
A judge is considering blocking Julia's participation. A state agency that defends children's rights says she's too young to take on a traditionally sexy role. But the girl's father, who happens to be the president of the Viradouro group, says Julia is a natural who can easily samba through the 80-minute parade route in Rio's sweltering summer heat.

awww how romantic
Visitors to Mildred's Temple Kitchen, a restaurant in Toronto, Canada, are invited to spice up their love life this Valentine's Day with a trip to the bathroom.
"Have you given any thought to moving beyond the bedroom?" patrons were asked in a not-too-subtle promotional e-mail.
The individual bathrooms will be open for sexual escapades from the 12-15th February. According to the manager, Rory Gallagher, a french maid will be working the toilets, making sure everything is "going smoothly and kept clean."
"We've always had little trysts in our bathrooms," co-owner Donna Dooher told The Toronto Star. "We're taking it to the next level on Valentine's weekend." She added that customers are expected to bring their own condoms.
Perhaps surprisingly, Toronto's Public Health food safety program manager said the restaurant wasn't breaking any laws as long as there's no intercourse in the kitchen and the bathrooms are kept clean.
"As far as bodily fluids, it's pretty much similar to the other human functions going on in there," said Chan, slightly undercutting the erotic value of the venture.

seriously silvio?
"I'm going to let you down because I didn't notice," Berlusconi told an Italian journalist who asked him about his impressions of the concrete barrier at a joint news conference with his host, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Protocol obliged Berlusconi to get out in the cold and rain to switch from an Israeli car to a Palestinian one at the Israeli checkpoint in the wall, where a steel gate controls access to and from the West Bank, Palestinian sources confirmed.
However, the Italian leader said he had not paid attention.
"I was getting my thoughts in order on what I would I would say to the president," he said. "I apologize for that."

the movie is not that bad but good lord it takes forever to start ... and by the time it does you're like i waited all this time for that ... hardly worth it ... i know the critics loved it ... but i hated it ... also i don't like george clooney ... he overdoes it with the whole i'm so charming act ... but i give the movie some points for not having a perfect ending ... some things fall into place but some things don't ... so at least it was realistic ... but not that realistic ... so yeah my main knock on it was that it took way too long for any real drama to develop ... i thought so anyway ... 6/10 ...
