In A Bit...


Clov_rfield...
a story of 5 young New Yorkers... blah de blah..
blah de blah...
blah de blah...

blah de blah.

see here.

Reviews:

A dazzling experiment that paid off immensely, this is cinematic pleasure at its purest. One caveat: If they ever make a sequel, we’re taking two stars back. (5 stars) - EMPIREonline.com

“Clov_rfield” delivered some legitimate thrills and downright creepy moments. (3 stars)- Bullz-eye.com

Now that the fanboy hype has cleared, we can see Clov_rfield for what it is: borrowed inspiration, trite screenwriting and amateur acting all in the service of a ballsy idea — that a horror movie could maybe, just maybe, have a soul. As it turns out, Clov_rfield's virtues are all mechanical, but, hot damn, what it might have been. (2 1.2 stars)- Rollingstone.com

The humans are ultimately pretty disposable, but the monster and the camera are worth attention. (4/6 stars) - Timeout.com

Rubbish; epilepsy inducer; a probable cause of my epistaxis; watch it to have nausea, headache and vomiting (Blackhole rating)- KrisJasper.com


_________________________________

Anyway, I tried this in Illinois (hello anne and ardi!!!), and Im looking for one now...

SHISHA.

A shisha (or Hookah) is a glass-based water pipe for smoking, First invented in India, it is now commonly used in Arab states. It is reportedly less harmful than smoking cigars (aint sure about that to be honest, but..)

It is also called Nargila in Iraq, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, etc.. (nosebleed..)

I just call it "poh-king". That's Posh Smoking.






I was about to give my VISA card details to an online shop to purchase that cute, shiny, little thing (30cm in ht) on top... It's on sale at the mo, £26 (inc. postage), a bit small but that already includes everything (bowl, hose, pipe and tongs, plus coals and 2 bags 0f Al Fakher: apple and mint).

Before I clicked "checkout", I changed my mind... I MIGHT go to London before _____ 2008; I might find myself a good deal. If not, I'll look around here in Birmingham.. There are a lot of turban wearing people in here.. Maybe they sell it here. I'll just walk around wearing turban after eating kebabs, they might offer me a bargain; If I carry an explosive with me, they might give it to me for free.. who knows? oh well....

Lastly, I have been drinking Moroccan Mint Green Tea for almost a week now, I like it and it's actually good. Am I turning Arabic? hmmm....

Al salaam a'alaykum

Scary as well coz we might have an inspection in the Nursing Home soon... I texted my manager that I feel like Im developing Chicken pox and I need to be off for the next 3 weeks. I dont think she believed me for a sec.

Hello Kris, shisha is also popular here in australia in most lebanese restaurants.... Also, there's a variety of flavoured fillings na mapagpipilian depende sa taste ng smokers.... I was also planning to get one for my father pampasikat sa mga kumpare nya.... You can get it here from lebanese shops for as low as $AU30.00 lang.... Comes in different sizes and shapes.... I like those ones that has a classic arabic sort of shapes and designs on them.... =D

Well if you are worried about
hooka smoke being worse than a cig, I suggest that you check out getting a hookah smoke filter that can attach to the end of your hose!
