Eateries – Walmart Captain Crunch Copy and Rice Crispers Cereal

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Touchscreen Vending Machine

While walking at West Town Mall, I was surprised to see this installed vending machine with a touchscreen.

Futuristic me was elated, especially since I was still busy playing Mass Effect 3 and imagining a futuristic world in the next 10 years. This was also on top of a class project where I had to create a touchscreen vending machine in an airplane, which dispensed hygiene products. So seeing something in life that sort of followed that model was spiffy.

It was enough I even showed Mom, who took a pause herself at seeing this giant screen vending machine as well.

But to my dismay, everything was sold out. While I didn’t need the drink, I had planned to see how it handled the purchase.

Unfortunately, the mall was still banning photography in the mall when I took this. So it wasn’t as clear as I liked to showcase what was going on. The reason I bent that rule was for how monumental that was.

EDIT: Future Janeil here. I never saw a touchscreen vending machine like this till 2015 or so, and it was outside of Tennessee. I wish they caught on more.

UT Heart Hospital Sculpture

Went with Dad to visit his sister in the hospital. It was a bit late but this very interesting sight greeted me when we walked in.

Well, at least it was interesting to me. It reminded me a lot of Mass Effect architecture for some reason. I also like the contrast with the warm tones and the darkness around it.

I especially got attracted to this, due to my recent interest in physical sculptures the year before. I’m a bit more observant of these things in public when I walk around, and at least try to note them if not grab a photo.
