I've got the Monday Blues! Stayed late at work cause I'm swamped. Deadline for my 1248745875687 projects at hand? April 9th! *sigh* But anyway, today I don't want to complain about how I hate Mondays, I wanted to share with you, a finding. Some people might have heard of it, or are familiar with it, but Im A'antar and I discovered it last night (does someone telling Im A'antar about it also be considered as 'discovering' it?? Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know.. Can you repeat the question... You're not the boss of me noww... ) Moving on! So, what is this great finding you may ask? It's called Shankaboot. It's the first Arabic webdrama (for those who haven't figured it out yet, it's a drama series on the web.. I'm not judging) in the Middle East (as opposed to Arabic webdrama in Europe? Hmmm food for thought.. Anyway, it's basically about a 15 year old delivery boy named Suleiman, aka Shankaboot, and his adventures in Beirut. I'm rhyminggggggggg... Moving on.. again.. Each episode is around 4-5 minutes, and it's unbelievable what can be shown and portrayed in that time span because I am hooked. new episodes every Mondays and Wednesdays, and to all those who live in Beirut, this is what it's all about, and to all those who live abroad but whose hearts and souls are attached to Beirut, this series is as close to home as possible. It's raw, it's real, it's current and it's funny. Please check it out, the website is pretty cool as well. Each episode is accompanied by its own game. I guarantee you a new obsession. Enjoy!
Oh and it has English Subtitles, it's not the same but just in case you non-Arabic speakers decide to take a look.
