Addicted to Learning

After getting my Duke of Edinburgh's Awards people asked me what I got out of it and I think the biggest thing was an addiction to learning. Now that I have finished the Gold and I nolonger need to wait for paperwork or prove to anonymus outsiders that I really did what I said I would do I think I'll attempt to keep a record of what else I do to progress my addiction. It's certainly not something I want to cure.

I am going without pie so I can get pie, will you give me pie?

I like the advertising campaign. there is also an internal rewards system to get me to encourage  others.

"I'll give you things. You like things, yes?"
"I mean "things" in the metaphysical sense. Like, I send you good vibes."

I may not have any sense but if ten people give me big pie then I will only be a few senseless.

Chicken soup

Vegetable juice from boiling vegetables and keeping it in the freezer.

add more salt and turn the stove on.You shouldn't be able to burn this soup.
most of a cooked chook
as the iceblocks have melted use a potato masher to make the bits of chicken smaller.

mixed frozen vegetables, or whatever.
when the soup is warm add spices, ome packet of chicken soup and one packet ot 2min noodles.
heat to the boil. then turn on low and simmer until the vegetables are soft.

all in all that was pretty simple.

New Lan game for school hols

Progress Quest
Definitely a worthwhile way to kill some time. I taught Riverbank how to play and Skype video chat was great.I have expanded the steam group to a guild for us to join. Deo specifically left his PC on to outlevel me.

Seems that xXVect0rXx is testing all the free2play steam games for us.

I have a copy of moonbase alpha to try, have played for ~5min and it made me laugh several times. might be a winner.

I'm sure VRB will want to have a go at TF2.

Deo was looking for the seven kingdoms installer, i couldnt run it last time we tried.

Rofl picked up a pack of monday night live, i think because Azo helped make it. Also the Minecraft server is back online.

Thats all i can think of ATM
