Today’s bitchings
Peeves – not pet, but wild and untamed: People who describe themselves as “enigmas” “weird” or “different”. People who are these things don’t know about it, and if you’re really that mysterious, why don’t you let people find out for themselves, instead of alleging that you’re unique when you’re probably not. People who, despite many […]
For those with mouths agape
May 28, 2007
…here’s part two of the tale. In case you’re not one of those people who thought the posts were getting too long. E fully made up for the whole lateness thing by immediately stuffing me full of McDonalds, which pretty much makes us even. I love McDonalds, and I’m not ashamed of it! E lives […]
What hometown?
May 27, 2007
I don’t miss Cairo at all – probably because it’ll take a few more days until the insidious dirt of that city is fully washed out of my epidermis. But apart from the remnants of exhaust fumes and eau de taxi about my person, Egypt seems a very distantly removed concept to Dubai. This, I […]
The underdog always has an underdog

I don’t give a shit about football, but still felt very mild satisfaction when Zamalek beat Ahly for the first time in forever last night, just because I’m dead sick of hearing how the Ahly team craps gold bricks.

Blogging the blues
May 16, 2007
Having received the little flyer from the cutie at the S.O.S. music festival for Blues on the Rocks, I made my way down to the Sakia last Sunday, along with Amnesiac and some of her friends. However, in order to seduce Amn into going thence, I first accompanied her to a showing of a documentary […]

Yes, I will be visiting Dubai from May 24 to June 2. Anyone who I already know there/will want to get to know there, email me!
A load of balls (and vaginas)
May 15, 2007
I wasn’t in the best of moods immediately before the opening performance of what was unimaginatively titled “The Bussy Play”. It was raining (climate change has hit Cairo hard) and they weren’t letting us in. “Us” included, on this occasion, me, the Source and T. Shahin, whom we met at the door. We took our […]
