I am: Arthur C. Clarke Well known for nonfiction science writing and for early promotion of the effort toward space travel, his fiction was often grand and visionary.

How much food do you buy at once?

Usually I’m on foot when I go to the grocery store and how much I buy there is limited by how much I can carry.  I go for the baskets, for me one basket holds $30 worth of food.  This is an average, but it’s often very close to this.  Using just a basket, you’re bound to have to return fairly soon.  This isn’t all bad since your food is always fresh.

You could take your TankUV to the store and load up on 15% off day and save money.  This requires you to arrive early since later on in the day all the good stuff that was on sale is out of stock.  You have to brave the crowds.  Also, you are required to have sufficient storage space at home.  Personally, my roommate and I share the freezer attached to the fridge which isn’t too big.  However if you have a house and a big freezer it sure is economical to use this method.

I’ve been thinking about this after visiting my parents where they only go to the grocery store once in a while since they live out of town.  As a result, some of their food isn’t that fresh.  Some garlic I was going to use while there was almost sprouting.  Still good they say.

I am the lizzard King!

After coming back from snowboarding in Montana I got really sick. I’m not sure if it was a really bad cold or a flu but it had me on the chesterfield for 5 days. I spent my time playing the original Civilization. I came upon it while rooting through my archived disks in my room looking for something my Dad’s laptop could run. I never actually beat the game so this is what I’ve been trying to do ever since I picked it up. My previous blog about marathon gaming with Gears of War pales in comparison to the amount of time playing this pixelated turn based strategy game. At the moment I’m very confident I’ll be able to take over the world soon. It’s just the slightly tedious process of ferrying in units to other continents that’s left to do.
