Nerd
I Very recently downloaded the mass effect 3 Demo and was Amazed by the graphics. It is Beautiful! As shown by this picture

Its time for me to share a recipe with you blog readers (if there are any of you)

Steak and Chilli Stew

Ingredient                                                        (serves around 5 people or one student for 5 days)

400g of steak (cubed)

200g of Bacon (stripped)

2 Tins of chopped tomatoes

1 Tin of Mexican beans

2  TSB of chilli

2 TSB of garlic

1/2 an onion (diced) 

1/2 a bottle of beer

Cooking instructions

heat the pan with oil and add the chilli and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper

add the Diced Onion, Bacon and Steak

allow to cook through then add the chopped tomatoes and beans and lager

allow to simmer for about half and hour stirring regularly to prevent burning 

serve up on its own or with bread ,rice or couscous.

Best time to eat this

this is hearty meal that I find works very well after a heavy night of drinking as a pick me up. however i have served this up to my house mates before to much appreciation.

The whole meal cost around £5 (when bought from my favourite shop LIDL) so that is around £1 a serving a thrifty and filling meal.

Early mornings

I am a keen amateur photographer and I've found the wonderful thing that is very early mornings. it allows to go out and take pictures without people getting in the way. However, this has somewhat buggered my normal sleeping pattern ive been getting up at 5/6 am to travel to the places i want to photograph and have therefore suffered the curse of going to bed at 10 pm here are some of the picture I have managed to take

  

sales and fedoras

I came to the conclusion over this holiday that i need to increase my social circle as I've been pretty much on my own for 3 weeks.

however I have been donning the pixelated fedora of Cole Phelps this week and entering the seedy underbelly in 1950's LA after discovering the black and white function in the options the game has taken on a whole new almost film noire element to it.

another key element of the holidays for me has been shopping i have bought about a trillion DVD's (thank you HMV)

New Year ’s Eve is commonly a time for Bacchanalian Frivolity as long as your name is NOT Oliver Armitage this news eve I was in bed by 10:30 and asleep by 1:00 am and (mostly) sober.

anyways tata for now world more post will be incoming this month as i shall be back in Bangor
