Using your phalanges

Humm, this is my first posting but I don't really have much to say. But I'm saying them with my skin covered phalanges.. and it's not that bad. Getting ready for bed, because work won't allow you to skip it... Weekends are always one day too short. I propose 3 days weekend every weekends. People are at work for 10 hours a day anywayz.. If you work in consulting, even though your physical being, aka your growing ass, is sitting in front of the computer the whole day, u know that not all that hours are chargable/ billable, thus you have to stay there even longer, and be more unproductive. I'm basically watching my life withering away at work, not doing something I truly believe in. Are there people out there with jobs they actually care about? I wonder.
Sorry, this is not much of an adventure as I have promised in my blog title. My phalanges did some dragon boating today, and that was fun and exhausting.. but they stinked like salty water from the bay, because the H20 was the salty water from the bay, though the place is called LAKE Merced..
aight, goodnite everyone.

A day in Austin

Today, I walked around Austin's Warehouse District and 2nd Street District for the very first time. Maybe because it is the Labor Day weekend, it was almost like a ghost town. None the less, there were many quaint finds. This store specializes in doggie attire... Post-it art =) Old wooden tracks Some of the buildings are the decade old warehouses buildings. How valuable are historic buildings to our current living? Are we preserving them for the sake of nostalgia? Or are they just in the way of developing better money churning properties.

A new semester

Four more years have passed since my last blog, and something happened today that has ticked me enough to write in this again... My friend Hannah and I visited the UT art museum, the Blanton Art Museum, and I am now infused with opposing emotions that I have to let it out. Legend has it that Herzog & de Meuron was commissioned to build the new UT art museum back in the late 1990's. However, after they were selected, the UT Regency demanded the art museum to be more stylistically in line with the rest of the campus. As a result, Herzog said "BISAK (bye in Swedish)" and we don't have a landmark. We have a building that looks like the rest of the campus, with unadorned post-modern arches and columns and boarded up windows at the street level! At least the overhang soffit is generous and has nice wood paneling. Entering the museum, unimpressed, my mind changed quickly as we approached the central atrium with north facing sawtooth skylights, filling the space with ...

London is...

The flight to London was quick and pleasant. Except for the Asian man sitting next to me. He smelled and he stuffed a rollie suitcase in the area in front of his seat!!! Anyhow, half of that luggage started invading my leg room area!!! Other than that, I watched two chick flicks, napped for two hours, and I was in London! So much faster than flying back to Hong Kong! So far, London is alot like Hong Kong, all the road signages and the buses are exactly the same! Second, sales people are not very nice and not very helpful. I paid with a credit card today at the grocery and the lady behind the counter expected me to take out my own pen to sign it! Other than that, I was pleasantly surprised by my Sunday Roast dinner, in many ways... for one, it was very delicious, and two, it was very huge and I finished it all!!! I also had the pleasure to stay with my friend Saaleha and her family on my first night on this Island. Saaleha made me guest baskets, full of foods and good...
