life update

been busy installing kubuntu on this pc and getting everything working. just apache/php and minior sound driver touch up’s to go (audigy2 zs’s mic >< ). although the success list includes: wine->tf2/cs, amarok->last.fm, perl->(via dbi)mysql and a few other bits and pieces, eclipse, yakuake etc.

hrm.. trying very hard to get it working so i can resume work on various projects.

oh the job front, i applied for two more today, and one on friday. this one looks very exciting and i would be most pleased to get an interview for it.

ahh yes and were also confirmed to begin moving house on thursday. that means were having our flat cooling party here on friday. we have come up with a very exciting game aswell. basically a wheel of fortune type event. long story. hrmm.. i guess this is the place for stories tho eh.

well then. a few months ago at an op shop we picked up about 200 egg cups. and have since then been planning how to use them for the most awesome. something based on a shot night was always the plan. since then it has evolved, mostly in my mind, into this wheel of fortune type event. well setup a bar, with a spinny wheel etc. everyone has to bring one of the drinks from the list. (which we will be making in the comments here) and well try and assign people to particular things, so we dont get double ups.

so this friday. 123a the parade. island bay. much awesome. come prepared. for it is also kinda scary. some people are crasy.

more news as it is created. and since me and sach are at home all days there should be heaps!!

something a touch ricey

today marks the first day of rice competition.

feeling currently: nicely. not hungry. maby a little thirsty.

thoughts on rice: not too bad. eager to eat some well cooked. white.

2 meals down.

hot food night

event: super hot food

structure: a competition

ok, now that i have your attention. i will state: awesome. this is going to be awesome. im not sure if we will get to have it in our current house, but it will be soon none the less.

the plan is this. to make multi (im thinking about 5 for a good mix of amazing and practical ness) meals, each one being hotter than the last. we have all the bowls in the lounge on the table, and we site around it on the couches. we start with the least, and each take an equal serving. if you cant finish your portion (in the time frame, like 5 mins or watever), you are out, and do not get to progress onto the next dish.

this idea is almost ready to do. i feel it maby could mature a little more. but generally, i think its going to rock.

• need to decide on the type of food, all the same?
• the way we will judge the hotness
• are going be using different chilli or watever in each meal, or just progressively more(which i think is quite boring)
• need lots of cooking stuff and plates and bowls or watever that all look the same
• logistics of cooking, shall we have everone round before hand and all cook togther? (it might be cool, if we just get a small group of hardcore people)
