One Seat Before TV

Hello Again, And sorry for the delay in writing... Busy, busy!

Anyway, no big events to talk about... Well, there are actually two good things, not here, but on TV!

First, there is the African Soccer Cup 2006, held in Egypt these days. Of course, the TV channels that carry it to the Arab World are all scrambled (=encoded, you need to pay to watch) channels.

Having a moving satellite dish that rcvs 17 satellites, turns out as very useful in events like these! After not seeing the first set of 5-6 matches, and not getting any hint from the many websites that address the sat rcv'ing issue, I decided to run a check on the potential channels that might carry this championship free to air, and voala! There was it! on a sat called Eutelsat W3A, there was Senegal TV! RTS is the name of the channel. Oh, God bless Senegal!

The 2nd thingy on TV, was a beautiful Saudi comedy series on mbc1, it was called "My siblings" or "My brothers and sisters". It was very funny. And quite interesting for addressing issues I haven't thought that a Saudi series produced by the state-run Saudi TV would address it. Anyway, it was a definitely don't-miss cracker-up segment of the day.

They were 2 brothers and 2 sisters, older brother had a 21-seater bus, which was the airplane of his dreams, he even had a loudspeaker thru which he talks to the passengers, and he played one song all the time, and his cell phone ring tone was a bunch of baaaaa'ing sheep! The other brother was a musician who chased his dream everywhere; one of the sisters used to sell watches to tourists and foreign workers, while the other lived in the US for more than a decade and came with mostly the good effects of living there, more than the bad effects.

Anyway, as a thunderstorm passes by, making it "a dark and stormy night", I say good-bye, and see you next time here!
