Generalization

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 by Kwan Ng

My personal favorite cartoon ever made by man. Yes there are some really great ones by aliens, but this is just awesome. Sam Gross of the New Yorker, great stuff buddy.

So the renovation is still going on. These big tall guys are just banging away at everything, breaking it all making a huge mess. Sounds like fun. Maybe they’ll let me help out… Nah, I’m wearing some nice clothes, wouldn’t want to get it dirty. Got a styling polo, nice khakis, oh and a banging pair of brown shoes.
Went out for lunch today to meet a friend. She told me to meet her in between 18th and 19th streets on 7th Avenue. For some reason I understood 9th street and proceeded to look for the nonexistent 7th Ave, and West 9th Street. I got lost and ended up on Houston Street in Greenwich Village. She called me wondering where I was, and redirected me back to the restaurant that was just 6 blocks from the office!
It’s been hard for me to be creative since there are so many noises coming from the center of the floor where they are smashing away at the floor and walls. Don’t judge me, this is not some of my best work.

Be Whimsical

Monday, June 1st, 2009 by Kwan Ng

I’m going to craft a poem about “whimsical“,
Whether or not you read it is up to you.
I can’t promise that this will be a classical,
But I will try to make it somewhat musical!

I have decided not to write this poem,
It’s boring, unrelated and quite dull.
Don’t get mad and try to be physical,
Just laugh it off and go be whimsical!

One more stanza just because,
My advice does have some flaws;
Do not become too whimsical,
because you’ll end up lackadaisical!

Moving on; there’s a renovation going on in the middle of the office. Well they actually haven’t started, but they are putting those plastic sheets everywhere that you can only see silhouettes through. That covers the only non frosted-glass wall, besides the window outside, and our doorway. Now when we want to leave we have to duck and sneak underneath these sheets, which is quite fun, but getting tedious. What’s weird is that they set up the sheets and it seemed like we were in for a loud afternoon, but they left and haven’t done anythi… Oh wait, here they are. And they’ve got tools now. And now they are banging away. I guess I spoke too soon eh?

Now what exactly are they renovating? Good question. Admerasia had a leak in the roof, because of the company above us lack of care for their floor, water damage spread into the center of our floor. So they are removing the roof, pillars, and floor, and have to recreate it because they are all moldy, bent out of shape, and weakened. Water is strong…
