Ramen fail

So I completely failed at making ramen noodles last night
I normally use the 3 minute brick stuff just because it’s dirt cheap…Heres my normal cooking process:

-I’ll start the water boiling, pop the chunk of noodles into the pot, and set my oven timer to 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
-I’ll go through the first two minutes cooking and stirring the noodles.
-When 1:20 hits, I have a twenty second window to rip open the sauce and garnish packets and dump them in before I hit the one minute you’re supposed to spend cooking the sauce and garnish.

I normally can make this window with my eyes closed, but this time, something went terribly, terribly wrong.
The details of exactly what happened are still a bit hazy to me, but I do know that I ended up with pork grease and little pieces of dried vegetables all over my hands, and that I ended up having to add another 30 seconds to the oven timer. It was truly a horrifying experience.

I ate the ramen anyways. It was okay.

So, this is where I’ve been working for the last several months. It’s a little datacenter in the Purdue research park. I’m only hourly for the time being, but they treat me well… Yes, that’s a new intuos4 and a 24″ widescreen that they bought for me ^___^

clear! *BZZT*

If anyone actually reads this blog, please feel free to stop by and gimme some feedback. The content is a bit bare, and I will be trying to populate the galleries as much as I can, but painting is hard T_T.

I had a good round of Spelunky last night:

Spelunky is a nifty little pixel game modeled after “roguelikes” such as rogue and nethack. Although it is extremely hard, frustrating, and a complete time waster, it can be tons of fun…I’d suggest it to anyone. And best of all, it’s free! Careful viewers will note that this round cost me more than an hour of time. That’s because much of the death in this game comes instantly and with little warning, so it can pay to be cautious.
