i spent the entire afternoon cooking. from soba to miso soup to macaroni gratin, i have done them all. heck, i even did kebabs just for fun and i am not jesting you. after doing all these, i managed to get a dozen gold medals for the dishes that i single handedly whipped up and not long later, all the food disappeared.

5 hours of the afternoon was spent on preparing a feast good enough for a king in a japanese country, seeing that all i had done was prime grade cuisine from the land of the rising sun.

i even got praises from mama that my skill was as good, if not better, than hers. so yup, i basically kicked my mama's ass in cooking.

if you haven't guessed it by now, i played cooking mama on ds the entire afternoon after replying emails/ doing some work. yesterday was spent being a survivor in lost in blue 2.

lost in blue 2 is modeled after the award winning series of lost. so basically, it starts off with this high school senior being involved in this shipwreck and happened to be washed ashore and met this THING with ovaries who is also a victim of the tragic accident. that guy's name is keith ( i bet catherine is having a field day right about now) while the other is named skyy.

so anyway, the character is stranded on this desolated island together with this THING (i refuse to call her a girl or even something remotely related to the human race). the point of the game being that you have to ensure that you are properly hydrated, fed and rested so that you dont die and guess what? the LIABILITY is your responsibility.

the game is designed such that you could ask her to help you carry out some of your chores but whatever she does, she screws up. If you ask her to prepare food, she will poison you with colourful mushrooms and even if she doesn't poison you, she could only prepare raw food that probably will have just killed you all the same. and should you ask her to get firewood, she will bring you a grand total of ONE.

and she is always in danger. apparently, she can't feed herself. she can only cook if i tell her to and i must eat with her. she can't drink if she's dying of thirst. and guess what? she can't sleep without me too! i know i am not brilliant but it does seem like a good idea to eat something when you are practically dying of hunger or even getting a drink from the nearby stream (which i have brought her to for countless times) when you are dehydrating.

so a bulk of the day has to be spent babysitting the moron from hell when i could have gone on to do better things like fish or pick up clams.

ah, but anyhow, i managed to entertained myself. the ds lite is indeed a worthwhile investment.
