Oh my Empirical Reality which exists estranged from the self, this roast. Oh my FUCK, this roast!

Beef Roast
New Potatoes
Carrots
Water Chestnuts
Cloves of Garlic
Baby Portobello Mushrooms

All cooked within a beef broth seasoned with pepper, garlic, and crushed red peppers. Cooked on low for 9 hours now.

Oh my, FLAVOR!

The mushrooms completely absorbed the flavors of the broth. The water chestnuts merrily crunch as one bites into them. The carrots and potatoes retain their firmness while still yielding to teeth. The garlic cloves are falling apart; they literally melt in one’s mouth. And the beef? The beef is falling apart. This is due, one assumes, to the sheer mass of flavor encased within it. It is too flavorful to cohere.

Too. Flavorful. To. Cohere.

And none of you can have any.

So there.

Also, Omaha is a trollop.

Valkyria chronicles is so pretty. Oh, and it is a sweet interpretation of a trpg. I'm a big fan thus far.

damn you kyle brown! i needed you to say "Valkyria chronicle" sucks.

in other video game news, i am going to skip Fallout 3 (at least until the price drops) and go straight to mirrors edge. that is, if i can get PhD apps mostly done today/tomarrow.

Rockbands new DLC this week is the Foo Fighter’s The Colour and the Shape album.

Unknown said...

umm valkyria chronicles sucks





... at being a bad game?

Mike Lewis said...

AACK!!!
I need reasons NOT to get a PS3!
AACK!!!
AAACK!!!

Unknown said...

I think pending a few more days of actually playing the game (i only have about 4 or 5 hours of play time in so far) I will write a review up, of what I think at this point.

Unknown said...

Also, endwar for the 360 is very cool also. I enjoy being able to the play the game almost entirely via voice commands.

Mike Lewis said...

does end wars come with a headset? though once the update comes out, i will be upgrading xbox live, so i can get netflix steaming.

Unknown said...

nah, but my 360 did, so I had no problem there. You can buy a version of endwar for the 360 that comes with a blue tooth headset for, i think, $20 more.

Unknown said...

I too will be getting a gold account for the netflix streaming when the update is releaseed.

Sleep is terrific.

Roscoe said...

lies. Sleep is only good while it's done.

once it's over? Sleep is the thing you pine for. In other words, Sleep makes you WANT sleep. Makes you WORK for sleep.

Lack of sleep? it makes you enjoyably lunatic. (pronounced Lou-NAHT-ic)... and you don't WORK for that, you simply DON'T work for it.

Andrew said...

no. sleep is terrific.

Unknown said...

I take it everyone went to sleep today in support of their argument?

Nothing but crickets chirping today.

Google Maps: Cloverfield

I finally got around to playing ninja town last night, as teenie took hold of the TV to play World Tour.

It was quite enjoyable, it mostly reminded me of Fort Condor minigame in FFVII in that you place units to deter the oncoming hordes. I'm about 7 scenarios in and enjoying it pretty thoroughly.

Mike Lewis said...

Piper Palin in Spiky heals.

_J_ said...

You got world tour?

And you didn't have me over to play?

you ass.

Unknown said...

Feel free to come over and play! :) Bring your own talent juice.

Mike Lewis said...

i played world tour at the best buy last week. I like rock band a lot more. Guitar Hero controls feel awful...

where does one go for game reviews now-a-days?

Unknown said...

I hate the feel of hte guitar UI on rock band. GH still works for me.

_J_ said...

I just want to play crazy train.

_J_ said...

Yeah. I want to play that.

_J_ said...

Guess who has Wrath of the Lich King Collectors Edition?

Guess who waited in line for two hours to get the damn thing!

Unknown said...

meh...

Unknown said...

I thought it was interesting that people were waiting in lines and struggling to get the expansion when Burning Crusade came out, all the while Teenie and I went into Meijer at like 12:30 and just picked up a box each and left, no line, no worries. :)

Roscoe said...

I've got an honest question.

Becasue I'm getting conflicting answers.

Chewbacca vs. Kevin Bacon in a Dance Off.

Who wins?

Unknown said...

Kevin Bacon, no question. He would go all abandoned warehouse on Chewie's ass, and that would be all she wrote.

Unknown said...

Best ever!

Andrew said...

I love my city.
I wish i knew what restaurant that was.

Unknown said...

I hate my city, but c'est la vie

_J_ said...

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

Unknown said...

It is too quiet here today... I'm scared and lonely.

WoW expansion.

A friend had his wisdom teeth out today so I went over this morning and sat in his living room playing WoW while he played WoW to ensure that if he fell over and died someone would be there to loot his place.

It was fun.

Except I took Firefly over and he didn't seem to enjoy it very much.

Unknown said...

How can someone not enjoy firefly?

Did you start with Shindig? Or, the Pilot?
