So i turn on my 360 for the first time in ages, download the most recent dashboard update… all looks nice, quickly looked at the hundreds of naff games in the “community games” section, then restarted, and that. >_>

Clearly the most recent dashboard update breaks old 360′s… must be microsoft’s way of getting everyone to buy a new one. Well screw you.

Christmas Food – Episode 2…

Tag: Misc,My LifeInsaneLampshade @ 18:31pm

What do those 5 animals all have in common, yes that’s right, they were all in my christmas dinner (well not those exact ones pictured, but you get the idea).

Another year and yes it’s that time again… time for another installment of cooking with Lampshade :) (i know everyone’s been desperately wanting another one).

Miscellaneous game stew with yorkshire pudding:

Xmas 2008 Meat

Ingredients are venison, phesant, partridge, pigeon, mallard, onions, thyme, bay leaf, parsnips, potatos, worcestershire sauce.

Xmas 2008 Food Simmering

Shove it all in a pot, simmer for a while and you’re done. Oh, and since it’s christmas make a yorkshire pudding while you’re at it. ^_^

Xmas 2008 Food Done

…and you never need to eat dry tasteless “traditional” turkey again. Only together can we change tradition… you know it makes sense… fight the power… etc. etc.

Christmas playlist

Tag: Anime,MusicInsaneLampshade @ 1:44am

Hmm… i think i’ve been neglecting to post for a while, lol…

Well i’ve been trying to cobble together a Christmas playlist of anime/Japanese music and this is all i could find in my collection, lol (not in any particular order)…

1. Little Non – Samba de Santa! (3:44)
2. Chiba Saeko, Ohtani Ikue, Toyoguchi Megumi, Hirohashi Kai – Kita he (3:54)
3. Shiho – Ever Stay Snow (5:02)
4. AKB48 – Anata to Christmas Eve (4:43)
5. Idoling!!! – Snow celebration (5:05)
6. AKB48 – Christmas ga ippai (4:49)
7. Halko Momoi – Hajimete no Christmas (3:53)
8. Eiko Shimamiya – Empty Tracks in Winter (5:28)
9. Ueda Kana – Snow Rain (4:37)
10. Ayana – Last regrets (6:12)
11. Ayana – Kaze no Todori tsuku Basho (6:09)
12. Perfume – Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow (3:49)
13. Nanaka – My Love (5:18)
14. Shige-Pinku & Koha-Pinku – Wa ~MERRY PIN X’mas! (3:57)
15. Nami Tamaki – Shining Star Wasurenaikara (4:24)
16. Yukari Tamura – Onegai☆Santa Claus (4:27)
17. ave;new feat.Saori Sakura – snow again (5:10)
18. Nana Mizuki – Promise on Christmas (4:47)

There must be more surely? So if anyone knows any must listen christmas anime/Japanese music that i’m missing out on let me know, lol. I did originally have all of the Itsudatte My Santa character songs in the list, but most of them don’t really sound “Christmassy” (lord knows why i bought them back then, lol… hell that was back before Aya Hirano even hit the masses).

So yes… suggestions please, only requirements are that they’re not instrumental tracks, that they’re related to something Christmassy… snow, winter, stars etc, and that they’re Japanese!

…in the meantime have some Shana…
