You are badass. &nbsp; I'll probably make a PF5 guide as soon as the details come out(or I corner ArohaJ after Comiket and go GIB&nbsp;TEXT&nbsp;NAO!&nbsp;Yeah right, will prolly be too drunk to do that.) If you want to take part, you need:<br />1-A Pixiv account. <a href="http://lc-theory.net/blog/pixiv-english-guide.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Help can be found here</a>.<br />2-Once you get your Pixiv account, go back to that <a href="http://lc-theory.net/blog/pixiv-english-guide.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">English Guide</a> and make sure you understand how tags and image responses work. <br /><br />That's it for the requirements, besides waiting for the event to start.&nbsp; <br /><br />Wait, what is Pixif Fantasia?<br />In a nutshell, it's a combo of art and role-play. The event master posts basic location settings and plots.&nbsp; Then, the participants add their own characters, interactions with other characters as the story goes along.&nbsp; So far, the 2 plots have been warring nations or multiple nations banding together to oust a greater evil.&nbsp; Post character sheets at the very least. If possible, draw your character fighting/drinking with/interacting others'! That's what makes the whole thing awesome!<br /><br />Anywho, without knowing a darn thing about what's planned, anyone up for making a group? If so, whatcha want to do? I'm pretty darn open. If you just want to post a character w/o joining my group, that's cool too. I'm not entirely sure I want to attempt to lead another group after the disaster that was PF4. Well, my group was....ehhh.....Everyone got slammed with life and it doesn't help that I stink at drawing.&nbsp; I might just tell everyone to join whatever group I hook up with to make life easier. <br /><br />What the hey, I even started a new tag for this. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:pharna:604347 2010-11-16T14:30:33Z 2010-11-16T14:30:33Z <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-20-monster-hunter-portable-3rd-hands-on" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">LET'S&nbsp;STAB&nbsp;CREATURES!</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:pharna:594589 2010-09-30T11:45:44Z 2010-09-30T11:45:44Z Okay monster, COUGH!<br /><a target='_blank' href='http://yfrog.com/5iimg3005ahj' rel='nofollow'>http://yfrog.com/5iimg3005ahj</a><br /><br />WAKEY WAKEY!!!

I don't have access to Mexican stuff. I can get good tomatoes.<br /><br />So here's what I have found so far...<br /><br /><br /><br />2 T vegetable or corn oil<br />1 lb. cubed pork, like boneless country style ribs<br />2 T flour<br />2 c chicken broth<br />1 garlic clove, crushed<br />1 small onion, chopped<br />8-10 roasted green chiles, Anaheim or big jim, chopped<br />1 jalapeno chile, roasted, peeled, chopped-more if you like it hotter<br />1 large tomato, seeded, peeled, chopped or a small can of chopped tomatoes<br />pinch of ground cumin (toasted in a hot pan)<br />pinch of Mexican oregano<br />salt and pepper<br /><br />In a heavy pot, heat 1 T oil. Brown pork on all sides, remove from pot and set aside. Add 1 T of oil to pot and heat. Whisk in flour and brown it a little until you've got a light coloured roux-add more oil if necessarily. Slowly whisk in chicken broth until thoroughly mixed. Add onion, garlic, chiles, tomato, cumin, oregano, s&p, and reserved pork. Bring to a boil, then partially cover pot, lower heat to a simmer and cook 1 1/2-2 hours or until pork is tender and sauce is the right strength and thickness-adding water or broth or reducing to correct. Taste for salt and pepper.<br /><br /><a name='cutid1-end'></a><br /><br />I think I can make this...Though sheesh I won't have access to the fresh stuff. Well, fresh MEXICAN stuff.

I went via JR, then returned by the Keihan. <br /><br />I really wasn't planning to go, I thought I would go to <a href="http://www.horyuji.or.jp/access.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Houryuuji </a>in Ikaruga, but ehh, I ended up not wanting to, as I didn't load the directions into my cell phone so I just went to Uji instead.<br /><br />I remember Uji being some supposed holy land for those who love green tea.

There were wooden statues of Bodhisattvas or whatever you call em and they were all partying on clouds. Children thought they were all DBZ and must have crazy powers.
