well

a few hours in

all those times i opened the pot up

according to the internet i shouldn't have done that

i'm not entirely sure what i was looking for

the chicken in the pot continued to be chicken on each inspection

well

i left the chicken a little longer than the recipes suggests

and it came out... juicy, falling apart at the touch, and not particularly flavourful. this doesn't particularly worry me in this case, since i plan to use this chicken for a soup, but i now know a. to brown the chicken before using the crockpot, instead of just cooking from raw, and b. use more dressing and less chicken broth.

otherwise, success, i guess

So, I wake up this morning and decide, out of the blue, to check my bill for this semester. Last week I had financial aid authorization but this morning I didn't. I turns out that either the school lost my financial aid probation appeal (on probation due to illness) or denied it. I have been suspended outright for financial aid. If my dead grandfather hadn't left me anything, I'd be fucked. Thank Christ I'm going to university in the summer so I can get away from this school which would greatly benefit from mass firings for those who work in office departments.

it's safe to say i have no idea what i'm doing

Are you making a stew? Stew is incredibly simple. The first time I tried it I fretted about getting all the proportions from the recipe just right, but I made another one last night and basically just did the following:

browned some beef (first coating them with a mix of flour, salt, pepper)
chopped up potatoes and vegetables
mixed up some broth with beef bouillon and water, added more water
threw the lot into a crockpot (including the leftover coating mix)
added some seasonings (thyme, basil)
set the crockpot on low

12 hours later it turned out delicious.

i am currently making soup with the chicken i cooked in the crockpot

now that i am confident the crockpot works i expect to use it for more important tasks in the future

history shows that i am a danger to any and all stovetops anyway so there are lots of reasons to switch to crockpots

FUCKING SPICKS GONNA SHANK ME

i feel like there's a breakdown in trust here

I'm not drunk enough.

Why can't I just internalize all my problems so that they fester into mental illness?

Speaking as a man unfortunately overly acquainted with these issues, you really don't want to do that.

I see no reason not to.

That may have been a facetious remark on my part.

I said mental illness not permavirginity. That ship has long since sailed.

I'm going to get insurance again

Now I can see the doctor

People gonna treat me nice again

Good to hear, Veef.

@Nietze: good to know. Wonder if it works for chili.

It'd probably work better for chili than for the chicken...

fuck me spidermonkey is an annoying piece of shit to build

small list of shit i've had to do:

1. some hours to figure out how to even get the damn build thing to recognise the existence of gcc. can use a .mozconfig file for this

2. get the damn thing to recognise preprocessor defines so it doesn't try to build with x11 for some fucking reason

3. it tries to create some stupid program to move around files because apparently it can't just use standard commands for this. too bad this sucker won't compile because it's using unicode shit, so i have to rewrite that shit, but then it assumes the argument array is null terminated which it isn't always and breaks down, so i have to fix that shit too

now it actually gets somewhere but stops at

4. some files assume types defined in <stdint.h> are available without including that file, so i have to rewrite it to include it

now it's mostly done, but it stops when

5. g++ is complaining about missing files, it appears the slashes in the file paths are gone for some reason. i spend an hour to track down where the christ it's getting those files from. it's in some auto-generated dependency file has backwards slashes. i change them to forward slashes and

finally

it is done

took the whole goddamn day

let's see if it even works

I'm glad I just redboxed MW3. At least now I know my suspicions about the game were right.
