ibmman | Free Food Raid 2006

I have less than $100 to spend on food for the rest of this month. This weekend being springfest, I decided I would try to eat as many meals as possible without directly paying for them. The primary day for this is today, since most of the food being offered in the next 2 days will required to be paid for.

Thus the results so far:
-3 pieces of sub from dibellas (lettuce/ham/tomato/cheese 1 consumed at the time of acquiring, 2 taken back for future consideration)
-2 chocolate chip cookies (1 eaten immediately, tasted almost kinda minty for some reason?)
-2 cans of mountain dew
-1 hamburger (no cheese)
-1 small bag of pretzels
-1 orange (not a particularly large one)
-1 about 6 oz cup of coke, which was later refilled with diet pepsi (as there was no coke left)
-1 bottle water
-1 apple
and not food:
-1 card valid for 1 free itunes download

and so-cheap-its-almost-free from yesterday
-1 large cheese pizza, for only $1 (apparently some group had ordered way too much for an event and were selling like 20 boxes, each for $1 so I had to pick one up, that will last a few meals)

The biggest problem thus far is that I hadn't brought my bag with me before and was thus limited in my ability to carry things back here, because the people in ETC were trying to actively encourage me to take more of the sub (which made me feel not guilty and bad about wanting to do so) but I couldn't carry more with the mountain dew and the orange and no cargo pockets. The current plan is to goto the free pizza tasting-voting thing at 7 to try to get free pizza for dinner.

also helped out on a video shoot in the center for integrated manufacturing studies because hillary clinton came to present a few million dollars for sustainability studies and alternative energy.. sort of bothered me she only mentioned 'environment' once and in passing, everything else she mentioned about alternative energy was about reducing cost to the individual and stimulating the economy and creating new manufacturing opportunities- but really none of those things matter if we lose the ice caps. already I feel bad for the polar bears. we really just need to be reasonable in reducing driving mostly would probably be a good start. everyone here is so darn lazy when it comes to that, I can't understand why there are people that actually drive from residence halls/on campus apartments to classes and things like that. oh well, I could probably go on for quite some time but I won't.
