XXIX - Dollar For Your Thoughts?

2009-09-21T19:06:31Z

I think the U.S. Mint really wants to get rid of the paper dollar and start using coins. I've actually started to use these coins and don't really mind it so much. The odd part is the reaction I get from cashiers. A couple people have questioned if it's U.S. money. Uh...there's a former president on the front...the statue of liberty on the back...and the words "United States of America" on it...what do you think?

XXVIII - Waiting For Use

2009-09-21T18:55:45Z

I while back, there was a really good sale on printer paper. I made use of the sale, but now I have about a bazillion reams. If I ever manage to finish writing a first draft of a play or musical, I shouldn't have very many problems using the paper. I just need to start writing...

XXVII - Slow Going

2009-08-18T09:05:00Z

After three weeks of this semester's jewelry-making class...this is all I have to show. In the end it's suppose to be a filed ring, but so far all I've managed to do it heat this thick piece of metal a million times until it was finally soft enough to bend into a circle. Fun times...

XXVI - Lack Of Variety

2009-08-18T01:24:28Z

This afternoon, I accompanied my mom to a new Asian supermarket in the area. I was walking around and saw boxes and boxes of instant noodles and decided to buy a box. I happened upon this box, with a variety of flavors. I thought it would be good to try out a plethora of different dishes, so I purchased the box below it. When I got home and opened the box...it was filled with one flavor. So...I'm wondering if the box I saw in the market was a sample (and I picked up the wrong thing) or it was just a random box that people threw stray bags in. Ah well...I hope I end up liking the flavor I ended up buying!

XXV - A Little Late For Fall

2009-08-18T01:18:00Z

Once again...it was getting pretty late in the day and I needed something to take a picture of. Today, I didn't venture very far, as I snapped a shot of what was lying on top of my monitor. Needless to say...I don't change my decorations or knick knacks around too much...since Halloween happened a long, long time ago. At least it will be apropos once October rolls back around. ;)

XXIV - Mmm...Noodles...

2009-08-18T01:09:51Z

I may be Filipino, but I'm not too fond of half the food. I guess being born and raised in the U.S. makes me a little too Americanized. ;) But...as with most cuisines...I really like noodles. Here's a close-up view of some pancit palabok. The dish consists of rice noodles, hard-boiled eggs, shrimp, shrimp sauce and crushed up pork rinds. With food such as this, you can see why Filipinos end up having high cholesterol. =P

XXIII - Trying Something New

2009-08-18T01:01:06Z

It's somewhat dangerous for me to have a membership to Costco, especially when the new set of coupons come in the mail. I want to try out new things, but buying stuff at Costco means buying in bulk. The Fuze drinks seemed promising...especially w/ the selection of flavors. But alas...it turns out not to be my favorite drink brand by a long shot. I will still drink all of it, but it won't be quite so fun.

XXII - Who Are These People?

2009-02-26T12:36:47Z

Okay...I know the purpose of putting random people's photos in picture frames...you want to see what the frame looks like with a sample photo. But...random photos on a tissue box? I guess the kids are cute enough, but I don't know them...and I thought it was particularly odd...odd enough for me to take a picture of a picture of random people. ;)

XXI - Out In The Open

2009-02-26T03:10:15Z

I didn't have very much going on today, so I had to hunt for something to photograph. I ended up going with the "legs" of a folding tray. These suckers come in handy when you're in need of portable table space. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to pile too much junk on them and the tables never get folded back up again. I guess I still have some work to do in cleaning up the clutter in my house. ;)

XX - Stopping By A Familiar Favorite

2009-02-26T02:04:08Z

Alas...with the long weekend behind me, today's excitement feature a trip back to jewelry class. Since it was only the second meeting, there's not really much to report there. I spent most of the class waiting to saw a piece of metal and then annealing it a million times. Hopefully it will be soft enough to work with next week. After class, a friend and I headed to a local tea shop. I fear that you may see more pictures of this shop than you would ever care to imagine. I'll try my best to not take the same pictures each time. ;)
