Pixiv Fantasia dorkery, everyone else ignore.

For those of you who were in PixFan4, props to you. You are badass. I'll probably make a PF5 guide as soon as the details come out(or I corner ArohaJ after Comiket and go GIB TEXT NAO! Yeah right, will prolly be too drunk to do that.) If you want to take part, you need:
1-A Pixiv account. Help can be found here.
2-Once you get your Pixiv account, go back to that English Guide and make sure you understand how tags and image responses work.

That's it for the requirements, besides waiting for the event to start.

Wait, what is Pixif Fantasia?
In a nutshell, it's a combo of art and role-play. The event master posts basic location settings and plots. Then, the participants add their own characters, interactions with other characters as the story goes along. So far, the 2 plots have been warring nations or multiple nations banding together to oust a greater evil. 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!

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. I might just tell everyone to join whatever group I hook up with to make life easier.

What the hey, I even started a new tag for this.

What I am getting this December...

So that wacky theater near me..

pharna — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:43:04 GMT

Turns out to be some kind of comedy-oriented light Kabuki-type theater.

The tickets are dirt cheap too!

NOMquest. Green Chili edition.

pharna — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 02:10:34 GMT

Being in Japan, ugh. I don't have access to Mexican stuff. I can get good tomatoes.

So here's what I have found so far...

2 T vegetable or corn oil
1 lb. cubed pork, like boneless country style ribs
2 T flour
2 c chicken broth
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small onion, chopped
8-10 roasted green chiles, Anaheim or big jim, chopped
1 jalapeno chile, roasted, peeled, chopped-more if you like it hotter
1 large tomato, seeded, peeled, chopped or a small can of chopped tomatoes
pinch of ground cumin (toasted in a hot pan)
pinch of Mexican oregano
salt and pepper

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.

I think I can make this...Though sheesh I won't have access to the fresh stuff. Well, fresh MEXICAN stuff. Japan has some local chilis that I might try to use...We shall see.

Ye Ole Want Liste

pharna — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 05:31:56 GMT

I usually construct these lists and think to myself, has it been 30 days and do I still want the item? Well, here's everything that stands out.

Half Minute Hero for PSP
Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman for PSP
Phantasy Star Portable 2 for PSP
Etrian Odyssey 3 - I thought I did a trade for this...I haven't heard from the other party...
Nier/Neir WHATEVER for PS3.

Plus I want all the other games I've been owed for almost a year now...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

REVENGE OF A MEME

pharna — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:34:34 GMT

The first time I posted this meme, I got NO bites. Well, I got one, INCORRECTLY FORMATTED bite.
(FFS kids, can't you read?!)

1) Make a list of ~~fifteen~~ 10 of my characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.

2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.

For example:

'One, Nine and Fifteen move in together. Is this a really bad idea?'
'Under what circumstances might Five and Seven fall in love?'
'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
'Write a drabble in which Three and Eleven FIGHT CRIME.'

Etc...

Multiple questions are just fine. I'll probably post up the results in a day or two. :)

Uji

pharna — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 03:32:27 GMT

On a whim, I went to Uji, which is a little ways away from Kyoto. I went via JR, then returned by the Keihan.

I really wasn't planning to go, I thought I would go to Houryuuji 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.

I remember Uji being some supposed holy land for those who love green tea. Well, 2nd holiest compapred to Shizuoka. Booya, I said it.

Uji Bridge. It's near the Keihan station but the JR one is a ways away.

The river is quite nice, and there are supposedly funky little shell critters that are unique to it.

Byodoin. It's a significant, mega-church. Arguably, it was the first mega church in Japan; the builder was a lord worried that Japan some day would be awash in material wealth and Buddhism would decline. Boy, he must have seen visions of the modern world!

The best quote? 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. I like how they were all happy looking. How many religions use sad and emo looking people in their images and icons? Seriously. Party hearty with music and dance.

I took in some hyper caffeinated macha and went...OSHI, sleepies and went back to Osaka. There was a Maiko and Geisha on the train too. Of all the commuters...

Here ya go, baelheit!

pharna — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:58:53 GMT

Installing Winrar, Skype, Pidgin, Video LAN, Paint.net and a few other things. What else do I need? I guess I should put Fire Fox on there. Sorry Chrome, I like being able to click and see a list of everything browsed in that tab.

I would REALLY like to throw NOD32 on there. I have a subscription but I dunno if I it lets me run it on 2 machines. I wouldn't run both simultaneously, just one at a time.

I also wanna throw SAI, Graphics Gale and hmm... What else?

Man, I love this little thing. It's so light, it's so delightful, I love this little netbook!

I guess I need a bigger purse if I wanna just throw this thing in. But man. The weight. It's so light <3

Got a baby step done today!

pharna — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:16:45 GMT

Last night, I posted a MASSIVE list of stuff I want to get done and today, i took a minor step towards it.

A friend of mine who creates and maintains websites for clients gave me a bid on domain names that I can totally afford so HE WINS!

I am also getting a subdomain set up to futz with various word press templates.

This week, I will get that last tips and tricks page on my cookbook's line art complete and if possible, tone added too.

Yay, it's Jurassic Salmon!

Trains are agents of Darwin. 99% of the time, the idiots go to the train, not the other way around.

So, it goes, HEY! I will taunt you with the ability to never worry about your game disk again, but then DENY you the joy due to region locking!
