My neighbour’s chihuahua barked 5,063,045,284,852,458 times since dawn today.
The heater in my machine-washer-sized-bathtub SUDDENLY broke (again).
Can’t sleep again today.
I ask myself this question: do all Bahrainis who go study abroad become more political while away from home?
I am terrible cook, but I tell myself whatever I cook is a masterpiece. (Ever heard of scrambled eggs+tuna […]
In Lieu of What’s Going on in Bahrain (In Arabic)
0 Comments Published by hasan September 26th, 2006 in Bahrain, Scandal.Here is an article I found in today’s Al-Wasat Newspaper, written by the editor (Dr. Masour Al-Jamri).

What Typhoon # 13 Brought With it
0 Comments Published by hasan September 18th, 2006 in daily life, Typhoon.I overslept again. Not because I was tired, but rather because I had nothing else to do today. Damnit, it’s raining again outside my window (my way of wishing myself a good morning as if I were two separate entities divorced from one another). Probably another day of non-stop rain. The weatherman on tv says, […]
On Promises of Healing Wounds and The Strange Things Strange People Do
0 Comments Published by hasan September 11th, 2006 in terrorism, crazy landlady, justice, perverts.Today marks the 5th annivesary of the Sept 11th attacks in NYC. 5 years ago, while I was a student in Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, this day was a very strange day.

Currently in the middle of Hitotsubashi University’s International Students’ Centre’s “Intensive Japanese Language Program”.
I am a proud owner of a SWIMMING CAP and GOGGLES (because I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SILLY RULES of Kunitachi City’s Public Gym’s Pool-Rules) and gave them […]
