A Wild El Cheapo Gas Station Appears

by | Mar 13, 2013 | ,

I was sleeping when I Dad woke me up, asking me if there was a gas station nearby. I check the GasBuddy app on my phone to be greeted by this. I had to screenshot this to show proof of this gas station; I’ve never heard of it before despite traveling here previously, and it was only because of that app that I now know of its existence.

 

The name itself gave me a good laugh. I’m not sure what El Cheapo sells, but they’re pretty low, considering the rest of the prices. But too bad, Sunoco has you beat.

**Technical note: the metadata on the screenshot shows 2:52AM, even though the actual screenshot says 3:52AM. This is because of Daylight’s Saving Time, and I’ll be sticking with the shown time for consistency.

Eateries – Walmart Captain Crunch Copy and Rice Crispers Cereal

by | Mar 6, 2013 | , ,

The byproduct of pulling almost-all-nighters with classwork? Eating cereal at 3PM in the afternoon when you wake up.

 

I always mix the copycat Captain Crunch Cereal with something else, usually like bran flakes or in this case, rice crispers. At least I’m not getting a whole bowl of sugar that way, and some more nutrition and bran is added to my diet.

Eateries – Chicken Wing, Tuna Pasta Salad and Beans n’ Potatoes

by | Feb 23, 2013 | , ,

This was an interesting dish I got to munch earlier today; and it felt even more rewarding since I cooked most of it myself!

 

The main dish was tuna pasta salad; yeast flakes, onions, mayo and canned tuna. Veggies were a bag of mixed beans n’ potatoes that you’d microwave in a bag. And the chicken side is just Wing Dings from Walmart.

 

Pretty good afternoon lunch if I would say so myself.

ETSU – Shut-in Snow Day

by | Feb 2, 2013 | ,

Consider it my lucky day. One of the few weekends I actually decide to stay at my apartment, it snows!

This would be the first snowfall at my new apartment. Maybe it’s a sign of good things to come, who knows?

Snowed-in evenings require snowed-in foods. Let’s hope that the roads aren’t crazy, and there’s something affordable in-distance.

ETSU – Bristol Motor Speedway Vehicle

by | Jan 29, 2013 | , ,

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this vehicle here. I don’t know who it belongs to or why someone from the Bristol Motor Speedway is at the Millenium center, but it was an interesting sight if anything else. Luckily for me I snapped a picture of it before heading home.

Scientia en Potentia

by | Dec 24, 2012 | ,

My sister got her room remodeled a little bit, and part of what she did was get a portion of her room painted with the “markerboard paint”. I got to try it a little, and decided to put this fantastic piece out with one of the markers.

 

Even though I’m in DIGM now, it always feels like science doesn’t get a fighting chance. I got inspired to make a motivational poster for people to actually like science and keep their heads on logically. I might’ve been doing digital art, but I was probably the only one around that still wanted to do things with science and a telescope.

 

Maybe when my skills get better, I’ll revisit this concept again and do a proper piece. Only time will tell.

Eateries – Soup and Beans Breakfast

by | Dec 1, 2012 | ,

This was a pretty spiffy meal, working out great for a cold December morning back when I was home at ETSU. Cream of mushroom soup, fried red kidney beans, coffee and toast. With the stuff I’m eating while at school, this was a welcome change.

Errr….I don’t know!

DIGM – Nuke Launched Detected

by | Oct 22, 2012 | , ,

While I was heading out one day from DIGM classes, I noticed one of the computers had this typed into the DOS prompt. Looks like someone had a crack at a terminal joke while the computer was being wiped with Norton Ghost!

 

While I didn’t get to grab another photo of it, it stayed like that for another couple days. So the joke was around for a bit.
