MBA presents… The 15 Egg Challenge! (Eggisode 1)

Category: Food

Long story short , 15 eggs for £1.50.

Task : Make unique dishes using 15 eggs , dishes cannot be made twice , no more than 2 eggs can be used in 1 dish.

‘Eggs in the basket’

y2img-0045
Have never made this before and only found out about it from wikipedia on a list of egg dishes.
Basically you cut a hole out of a piece of bread and crack the egg in the middle whilst frying the bread. Ate mine with ketchup.
Yumminess : 8/10
Ease to make : 6/10 (butter bread , wash glass that i used to cut hole of bread , cooking stage is easy though)
Eggs Used : 2/15

‘Ham and Egg Toastie’

y2img-0048

Used the toastie machine after frying the egg and putting it in, its totally not a sandwich. Eaten with BBQ sauce as seen in picture.
Yumminess : 7/10
Ease to make : 9/10 (fry egg , make sandwich , toastie machine it)
Eggs used : 1/15

‘French Bread / Eggy Bread’

y2img-0052

Ah, good ol’ french bread. Have never made it before so i had to google how to do it. I didnt put enough sugar in the egg mix so i had to top it myself.
Yumminess : 4/10 (I most definately made it wrong or something, little flavour even with a dusting of sugar and not soaked in enough egg, an eggstra egg and a ton more sugar would have probably made this a 7 or 8)
Ease to make : 3/10 (No idea how much sugar to add , have to beat the eggs first , bread falls apart if you try to pick it up with a fork to lift it into the pan, fair amount of washing up)
Eggs Used : 2/15

‘Bacon and egg sammich’
y2img-0054

Ah. Bacon.
Its hard to top a bacon and egg sandwich with ketchup. Im dribbling a little bit just looking at this picture - and im typing this up after i just finished eating the thing.
Yumminess : 10/10 (god tier - you could say its pretty eggcelent)
Ease to make : 8/10 (Step 1 : Fry eggs and bacon , Step 2: ??? , Step 3: Profit!)
Eggs used : 1/15

Not sure were im going to go from here really , i could make an omlette or something eggtravagant I suppose. I did consider trying to make meringues but they’ll almost definately end badly and i’d need to go buy caster sugar or whatever goes in them. Might make pancakes or something i suppose… Kinda screwed since ive used all the easy recipes so early on and im going to need to make at least another 5 dishes to finish these eggs.
I also need to think up more egg puns.

Eggs left in the fridge : 9
Eggs Used so far : 6
Slices of bread used : 8
Egg Puns so far : 4

Noise Complaint

Category: blog

‘To the residents of X brunswick street
Reference numerous conversations we have had regarding your behavior and noise pollution, to ourselves.
Once again on Saturday 27th Febuary you chose to ignore all requests, to keep within a reasonable noise level.
We feel we can no longer keep this problem within the boundaries of the two houses and are taking advise from our local councillors and warwick university, and will eb asking them for an explanation how a group of students feel they have no obligation what so ever to the community in which they reside.
Mr Mrs D.P (double penetration) Harris’

Ahahahahaha , what a load of bullshit.
They have formally come to complain 3 times since we’ve been living here , thats like.. once per two months?
I am so very fucking tempted to put my £70 speakers against their wall and unleash some fucking dubstep on them
THEN they’ll know what noise pollution actually is.

My 21st Party

Category: blog

Week overdue update , didnt think it would matter since im pretty sure nobody reads this blog anymore anyway. Might just stop updating.

So my birthday party thing went pretty well , started off as a casual thing , bit of musics and stuff - we spent about £40 on booze and chips and dip and all that stuff which isnt too bad.
We started playing the Internet drinking game using alot of cards from 4chan and a few that duncan created , i wish i had a few to show - maybe ill get them later. Was pretty good stuff , rule34 got played twice D:
During this game i also had to run around the house making chicken noises and had to bend over and get spanked by everyone in the room whilst downing a drink.

Drinking games soon devolved into strobe light rave

Strobe light rave soon turned into the landlord at the door telling us to turn it down because apparently our neighbors had called the police on us and they had contacted him about it.

We went off to the jet , our localish pub - full of 30-40 year old drunks, I ended up talking with some random guy who bought me a pint because of my big 21st badge, his other friend decided to start trying to talk to me in japanese - and then practically pulled his ass out to show me his japanese tattoo - and then kissed me :|

We went back to the house shortly after this , where the alcohol was starting to get the better of me , i thought id rest my eyes.
Fortunately managed to open them fast enough to avoid an antiquing which my housemates were planning (for those not in the know , basically.. flour.)

I went upstairs and fell asleep shortly after this but the party went on without me, apparently at 4am there was a paintball fight in the garden or something and the girl next door (not the complaining side) decided to go get her violin and play that for a while.

I woke up… aftermath…

This place sure is different…

Category: blog

So this week we have more labs to do :/

Today we did a virtual nerve simulation, which was pretty boring stuff. Yesterday however (Monday) we did a frog disection… Essentially we were given a freshly killed frog which had been decapitated , I then had to cut off the skin on its chest and cut upwards through its chest , move stuff out of the way and find the heart in a little sac , i then had to cut open the sac and basically pull out the heart slightly and clip it onto a thing which measures weight - this then could measure heartbeats… Oh yeah , i forgot to mention , the heart is still beating.
Yeeeaaahh… the heart muscle basically beats on its own to prevent problems in the brain from killing off the animal, so as long as we put this nutrient solution it would keep beating , and it did - for like 2 or 3 hours while we did various tests on it (such as changing the temperature , putting depressant on it , putting adrenaline on it , using string to cut off the atria from the ventricles (seperating the top and bottom) , and a bunch of other shit ).

Poor Frawgy.

Also , on the bus home today I ended up sitting at the top at the back (where all the gangsta’s sit and shi fo rizzle) , I spotted some ‘graffiti’ which made me laugh. Warwick sure is different to Essex..

y2img-0040
It may be a little heart to work out because of my fuzzy camera , but basically its an ionic arrangement of Sodium Chloride (salt) compound , complete with scale measured in angstroms.

Finally , a picture of the ridiculous amount of wires around and under my desk right now.

In other news…

- Sales at asda , ended up with 3 packs of M&M’s :D

The last week in pictures… and abit of text i suppose.

Category: blog

Apolagies for no updates in a while.
I went back home for a very extended weekend on saturday and stayed there until last night.

y2img-0027_1

^ ‘Green eyed monster’, my new favorite drink , chilli sambuca , blue curacao and monster ripper (which is essentially a can of sugar + water , men in black style.)
Had this to perk me up on friday night before we went clubbing for christina’s birthday. Apolagies to fiona in the background who looks alot hotter irl.

y2img-0028_1

^ Kasbah in coventry , pretty packed out. Was alright for the first hour or so but then everyone wasnt really in the mood anymore and christina (birthday girl) didnt want to leave which apparently means we all had to stay >_>

y2img-0029_1

^ Chinese new year in Chinatown London , went there for a big meal with family on sunday. Got lots of moneyz too.
y2img-0030_1
^ Ridiculous oversized new arcade game they have at trocedero, pretty much full sized minigun and giant screen and you shoot down planes and shit.

y2img-0031_1

^ My new netbook came on monday , shit is mad tiny. The screen is around 1/4 of my main monitor size. Ive also found out my oversized mousemat works well for 2 mice if i ever want to use my netbook and my main pc at the same time. I get the feeling it’ll mainly be used for work on the go or vent while im downstairs on the 360.

y2img-0032_1

^ Started snowing pretty fuckin’ heavy earlier , it seems to have calmed down now but outside is now painted a thin layer of white.

Other things that have happened over the past week…
- Played and finished Assassins creed 2 over 3 days
- Got the result of my first essay that i submitted , Low 2:1 , kind of disappointed as I put my heart and soul into that thing but at least its not a 2:2 which may have made me kill myself.
- Found some leftover washing up which i forgot to do before i went home , green mold. nice.
- Im drinking root beer.
- I found out that the £10 wireless mouse i ordered for my netbook needs to have a piece of tinfoil wedged into the battery compartment otherwise the battery doesnt make contact with the pins.
- Got my windows 7 to stop nagging me about genuine
- Started watching Kaiji , intresting anime , Try watching the first episode and tell me you dont want to keep watching to find out what happens.

The company of myself

Category: Games

I rarely find myself playing online flash games unless im at uni or somewhere and trying desperately to kill time , ‘The company of myself’ however is an amazing game in every way, similar to braid in aspects , the game tells a simple story accompanied by some beautiful music.
Takes about 10 minutes to complete, give it a try

Closing a chapter of my life

Category: blog, rant

So , better get this out so i can go about forgetting faster.

Sunday whilst exploring fran’s facebook inbox i came across messages between her and some guy , called her up about it and turns out she’s been sleeping with some guy for the past week. Broke up over the phone on monday morning.
I fear i will have trust issues with future girls given the fact that frances completely lied to me about stuff even as i asked her over the phone , god knows what else she’s lied about , who knows maybe she was seeing other people during my entire first year of uni.

So im single again (ladies?), on the plus side now i have more time to spend with the real love of my life…

<3 Jason Statham

Category: Uni stuff, films

So last night decided to watch ‘Transporter 2′ because apparently I downloaded it ages ago in 720p , go me.
Film was actually amazing , I sort of forgot how awesome Jason Statham is (like i knew he was awesome , but not the level of awesome he presents in Transporter2).
This led to me checking out what other films he’s in on IMDB , this is when i came across a film called ‘The Expendables’….

expendables
The term ‘Holy shit’ doesnt really cover it really , a film with Stallone , Jet Li AND Jason Statham? The fuck. All it needs is ‘The Rock’ and it would be guaranteed ‘action film of the millenium’.

Going to watch Transporter 3 today at some point.. maybe now considering i just woke up and have nothing to do…. well… thats a lie , I have plenty of work to do but ugghhhhh.

Lab reports are really not something i want to do right now , they’re confusing and tbh since we did them up to 4 weeks ago i cant even remember the details of them that well anymore ~.~

Ive also recieved my next Essay title, due in on week 20 (March 18th) , the title is…
“Molecular diagnostics in medical microbiology : Yesterday , today and tomorrow’
Which is… idk… It doesnt sound particuarly nice but then again it doesnt sound TOO hard to write , surely its just researching molecular diagnostics in the past , where they are now and what they will be able to do in the future… I hope anyway

Grumble

Category: blog

Down Syndrome project is done with , final video link is here for anyone that wants to watch a boring documentry - http://vimeo.com/9142087 , the part i edited together is around 5:30~ onwards.

In other news , labs are over for now , we got an email today telling us that we dont actually have labs weeks 5 and 6… but have 2 on week 7. Typical that they would tell us this 3 days AFTER i book tickets to go see the girlfriend for the end of week 6 and the start of week 7, because there was me thinking id be studious and go to the timetabled labs on weeks 5 and 6 and then on week 7 I’ll get a nice break! >_>

Watched Road Trip today, im sure it was better last time I saw it , should have watched something with arnold swarchenegger in instead, or fast and furious 2 (because that film is lolz)

£800 worth of software =/= good quality film.

Category: Uni stuff, blog

So this week has been pretty much a bitch, I cant even remember many specifics of it because it was just so packed with work, its all melded into one very long day.

I do remember on thursday i did my first and hopefully last 9am-10pm day (consider also that included waking up at 7am to get to 9am lecture) , got back at 6;15 and group came over at 6:30 for genetics documentry work until 10 >_>
Did i mention this yet? i cant be bothered to go check.
Basically for our genetics lab work we have to produce a documentry style video , due this tuesday. As of the time of writing its 90% finished , The guy who was supposed to be editing it together’s laptop broke because he was a muppet and spilt drink over it, so editorial duty got passed to me because i was the only other person capable. I sort of dont mind , ive always wanted to try and learn how to use Sony vegas , and whaddaya know , after using it for about 10 hours today, ive pretty much got that shit down.

Shoot ‘em up (2007)

Category: films

Its been a while since ive seen a film so good it deserved its own blog post.

‘Shoot em up’ is one of those films, i watched it Saturday night with housemates and its definately been a while since ive seen anything so ridiculous.

So the plot is…. well.. fucking abysmal. Its ridiculous and nonsensical. The characters are equally ridiculous and nonsensical - a prostitute with milky tits , a random baby, a hero who makes agent tequilla (Hardboiled/stranglehold) look like an amateur and who spits out more one liners than Arnold Schwarzenegger , and a bad guy who is fucking telepathic and takes about 10 bullets over the course of the film and refuses to die.

shootemup

Its hard to explain why the film is so good without spoiling some of the best bits of the film…. so ill only spoil a few , a scene where the hero takes out a heavily armed assault team whilst naked and fucking the hooker , a scene where he shoots the back of a filing cabinet and the drawer hits some guy in the face (knocking him unconscious of course.) , a scene where he has a gunfight whilst freefalling out of a plane (because bullets still travel in straight lines when you’re moving at terminal velocity) , and finally he stabs a guy in the eye with a carrot.

I actually hacked the DVD and found some extra features , The film was originally going to be….

johnwoomaxpayne
But they were concenered the film  would be TOO good and kill off the movie industry as we know it , after all,  why bother trying to top a max payne film starring chev chellios eh.

See. This. Film.
