Went into KC for the day. Got a few parts for my R/C cars, ate some very nice Lebanese food, and saw a movie. There's an IMAX theater in the 360 Mall, so we saw the new Tron movie. Actually, I'd already seen it, having ... um.... found it on the 'net already, but IMAX is MUCH better than my laptop.... and it was in 3D. Of course, it had Arabic subtitles, and we had to sit in the bachelor section up front, but it was good. The movie was 4KD (~14US) to get in, but popcorn, skittles and a soda was only about 1.250KD. However, if you ask them for salt for the popcorn.... they go all 'deer in the headlights' on you.
On the way back to base, we stopped by one of the roadside vendors and picked up some fun..... :)

(sorry about the links.... I can't get the blogger software to upload video directly from here....)
The video doesn't do the sound justice..... it's amazing how LOUD things can be when there isn't anything around to bounce the sound off of. hehe... of course, they are slightly bigger than your normal bottle rockets. These were the smallest ones, and they were about 1.5 inches in diameter and about 9 inches long.
So that's was my New Year's eve fun. :)
Later...
