jazarah! » Guys, would you really do it in here?
These mouth-shaped urinals are available at some restaurant in Germany, personally I found them weird and stupid, I don’t know what’s the idea behind them, I guess if I was there I might get scared to do it there, it feels like it’s gonna eat me. Found it on the Arabian Business. [Link]
The Black Iris of Jordan » More Reasons To Love The Internet
God I love the Internet. Here are my two main reasons, just for today. The first is a story on Google setting up a bloggers’ tent at the Democratic and Republican conventions next month, and it’s also a story on why I love Google.

my treasure » Packing Bits 
I am happy to report that all our bags are packed and UNDER weight! Garage sale-ing absolutely stank this summer, and I did not shop-til-I-drop, so we are making another trip to the grocery store for yummies like soya nuts, sunflower seeds andchocolate chips (which one doesn’t belong? :S).

The Arab Observer » حبيبي خذ شرفي
اجلس هنا عاجزة عن الحركة. احاول تحريك اصابع يدي, فأعجز. احاول ام امد ذراعي, فأفشل. يعاندني جسدي كأنه يطبق ما اراده اخي. احاول بكل قوتي و لكن بلا فائدة. اريد ان اتحدى عجزي, اريد ان انتصر, اريد ان اتحرك و لو مرة واحدة, حركة صغيرة تمنيتها منذ تلك الليلة, حركة كررتها في مخييلتي مرارا و تكرارا, امد فيها يدي بين … [Link]

Jordan Journals » The Power of Words
Nermeen Murad’s thoughtful tribute to Mahmoud Darwish in the Jordan Times yesterday reminded me of how I first heard of him.

I am not an Arab, but I was given … [Link]

This reminds me of Sharpie-abuse in Saudi Arabia: Olympic logo police workers are tasked with vigilantly going around all facilities and putting masking tape over the logos for any product where the company is not an official sponsor. Talk about taking it too far. [link] [Link]
