10-29-98 Thursday Nite Happy Halloween Everyone!!
__________________________________ Brian Donohue sent me an email today, correcting me on the point about my reference to the Blade movie. I had said the vampire used the Gerber tool to yank out the other vampires tongue. But Brian said, "I'm pretty darn sure that the guy in Blade was pulling out the other guys incisors (FANGS!) not his tongue. Later he throws the fangs on the table to the other dudes. A tongue would probably just have landed and not slid." Good point, I stand corrected. Thanks Brian! I also got an email from my friend Sara today. She said in reference to the 90210 episode that she thought it was David, not Steve that said Sophie was "the hustle and bustle". Did anyone else see the episode? Do you remember if it was David or Steve that said that? Sara
also said, "I also read that segment on the Gerber Multi-plier
Tool. I recognized it right away because Steve (her ex) used it when
he was in the Marine Corps. Quite handy I'd agree." Thanks
Sara. Maybe Santa will give you one for Christmas. If
I didn't have one already, I'd put that on my list Sara also has her own web page. Stop by and say hi!
__________________________________ I was really surprised today when my cousin Joe Chi took my Reader Poll. Wow, I didn't even know he stopped by my web site that often, but he says he does and has even told some people at work about it too!
He's an attorney with Brobeck down in LA. I was going to say more but I didn't want to embarrass him. He's really great. Tall, smart, good-looking... wait, I said I wasn't going to embarrass him. Oh well, too late. Next time, fishing at Mammoth. Maybe I'll catch that one that got away last time...
__________________________________ So Jim Snow signed my Guestbook with the following: Name:
Jim <snowj@interlinks.net> Jim obviously wanted to make his point because he emailed me AND signed my Guestbook. The email he sent me had the subject header: "Your crippling emotional problems" "My
impression from this homepage is that you are very hostile" "with
some repressed childhood anger" "Have
you thought about taking some medication and therapy for your problem?" "No
doubt insecurity lies as the root of your problem.." 10-29-98 Thursday Guess what?! Last night on Beverly Hills 90210, they had a story about a webcam! Synopsis:
Steve thinks it's a great idea and then Sophie says, "I think it's ok, but I have a better idea. How bout a webcam!" Striking poses and wetting her lips already. Steve is totally gung-ho about the idea and next thing ya know...Connectix QuickCam! And where do they point the camera in the office? You guessed it...right at new semi-ho-like chick Sophie. Janet gets all miffed and says, "But what about focusing on all the hustle and bustle that goes on in the office?" And Steve says, "Sophie IS the hustle and bustle." Not to mention a little bump and grind... Steve is totally psyched cuz he thinks he is scoring major points with Sophie but what he doesn't know is that Sophie has been doing the Horizontal Mambo with his good buddy David. So one night, David and Sophie are at the office and they start doin the Nasty, and David says, "Wait, the webcam." And Sophie says, "No problemo, O Studly One..." and tosses her shirt over the cam and they continue to get their groove on. Little did they know that the shirt fell off the cam and who should happen to be peeping from his computer at home just at that very moment? You got it! Next thing ya know ole Steve's a net-voyeur... And you all thought Steve was just a big lughead frat boy. Well surprise, surprise. He has many facets to his personality. Lughead frat boy AND net-voyeur. Ya gotta love it!
So um, Lorraine,
are you telling us you watch Beverly Hills 90210?? 10-28-98 Wednesday Nite
Holy Guacamole! I can't believe how many people have been taking the Reader Poll. And it's only been up for a few days. Even the infamous
Mareciless stopped to take the
poll. Oooo, do you mean we finally get the dish on this
super-secret, woman of mystery??? Name: m Mare is one of those people with whom you have to be careful not to eat or drink while you're talking to them. That goes for reading email too, because she will make you laugh so hard you'll choke or you'll spew something. Today she asked me what I was going to wear when I went out this weekend and I told her I might wear that red shirt I wore in my new pics. She said, "It's red? I thought it looked more like "baboon butt pink". My what a lovely picture that conjures up. "Lorraine, you are such a vision in that baboon-butt-pink shirt." Lovely. __________________________________ I was slightly miffed the other day when PK called me a tomboy. "A tomboy?!
Why do you think I'm a tomboy?" PK, that "tool thing" is a Gerber Multi-plier Tool...
"This
multifunctional tool contains 13 tools in one small package. It's like I told him I'm just a practical woman. I think every woman should have one. Once, I pulled it out at work and my manager said, "That's the tool the Marines use." I thought that was pretty cool. It's much better than those Leatherman tools. The Gerber tool is much sturdier. Oh, I had a Gerber tool spotting! If you've seen the movie Blade, the scene where the vampire uses a plier tool to pull out the other vampire's tongue, that was the Gerber tool! Really, I could tell by the wide nose of the plier. Trust me, I know my Gerber tool when I see it. __________________________________ They had auditions for a new Spice Girl ad yesterday. I remember when I was joking with Matt a while ago, I told him I was going to try out to be the next Spice Girl. He said, "Hey yeah. You can be Bitchy Spice." Ha ha! Ummm, Matt, you were joking weren't you? Speaking of Matt, he walked by today and said, "LC, you're wearing your glasses today! But I thought you were vain." I am vain, but what's your point? Are you saying I look like a troll with my glasses on?! Are you saying your cat has hacked up better looking things than me with my glasses on? Aaaaaaaaahhhh!
10-28-98 Wednesday BaddGrrl Trivia Did you know... For her 6th grade Science Fair, Lorraine build an incubator and placed fertilized eggs inside. She would crack open an egg every week for 6 weeks to monitor the growth of the eggs. But... no chicks ever developed from the eggs and she didn't win the science fair. But... she had a really cool box which she later converted into an Easy Bake Oven. Ok, that last part's not true, but in retrospect, that's what she should have done. __________________________________ My friend Alan
Lum told me this funny story about a tennis match he had: "In a recent tournament, one of the opponents was an old guy who wore a Gilligan hat. During warm up, I could tell he had slow reflexes. I told my partner that I would go easier than normal. My partner made me feel guilty as he scolded me for not being competitive. "Kick their asses and feel sorry later," he said. Early in the
match, I blasted a serve so fast that the old man could neither hit
it, protect himself, or move out of the way. It ricocheted from the
service box and hit him in the stomach like a missile. After profuse
apologies, I immediately switched to "casual" tennis instead of "competitive"
tennis. I should not have let my partner cause me to be less of a gentleman
than I know myself to be. We beat them easily, even though I cruised
the rest of the match. If you're going to take candy from a baby, you
don't have to give it a beating first. Just take the candy." I love that last line. "Just take the candy." __________________________________
I think Fredlet and I need to meet this guy. He is pretty darn funny.
Ok, I think this goes to prove how wonderfully twisted Ian is. And I mean that in the nicest way. These are the responses he gave to my Reader Poll:
Name:
Ian
10-27-98 Tuesday Just wanted to turn the spotlight on two of my friends who are aspiring actors. Check out their web pages and you can say you saw them on the rise, before they became Megastars!
Larry Wong is currently the lead in "The Life and Times of Ng Chung-Yin", presented by the Yang Tze Repertory Theatre of America, Inc. at The Cino Theater for the New City in NYC. Please visit his two web sites: and _______________________________________
Derek Yee (on the right) has been in several plays, commercials, print ads, etc. He just got a job he auditioned for. Congrats Derek!! Please visit his web site:
_______________________________________ Actually one thing I had always dreamt of was becoming an actress. I really loved acting but would get stage fright. I was ok once I got on stage but I'd get really nervous before the curtain went up. I was in a few plays at my old church. And of course there were always the summer camp skits. I think I was better at comedy. Or maybe that's just what I always ended up doing. I remember one year I came up with the idea of a spoof of the Brady Bunch. I was Marcia. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. We threw in some of the funniest Brady moments and really hammed it up. Well, it was hilarious at the time. The audience really loved it. Then one year we did a Motown Anniversary spoof. I was Tina Turner. THAT was something. I was co-emcee of the Motown Special with my friend Jeff Gee, who was Boy George. If you can imagine Tina Turner and Boy George running around trying to upstage each other, that's what we did. Sounds pretty goofy eh? Don't ask me to do my rendition of "What's Love Got To Do With It". I think it runs
in my family. Both my mom and brother are hams. They
love being on stage or in front of a podium. They're performers
at heart. More so than me I think. The webcams
don't count as performance art.
10-26-98 Monday Wow, I'm really surprised by all the response I've gotten from the Reader Poll. I'm really overwhelmed by how many people have been taking the poll. I wish I had done this a long time ago. It really helps me get a better feel about who my visitors are and it makes them more "real" to me. It's really great. Most people have asked that their information be kept private which is fine. It's really just for me to get to know my visitors better.
Someone made a couple of QuickTime movies out of my new pics. Click in the middle of the image and drag your mouse left and right. QuickTime
Movie #1 860K QuickTime Movie #2 116K The second one looks better if you download it and resize the window smaller.
________________________________________ Ian has finally added himself to the Journal Ring, woo hoo! His page is looking really great. I showed Fredlet today and she thought he was pretty cool. Nice and twisted. He he. I love his layout and design. Check out Ian Chin's site:
________________________________________ So just in case people were wondering what my answers to my Reader Poll might be: Name: Lorraine
10-25-98 Sunday Nite I have a new Reader Poll!! Tell me about yourself! Check it out...
Thanks to Fredlet! I shamelessly stole...er, um, borrowed this poll page and modified it to fit my (evil) purposes.
10-25-98 Sunday I have a new Quizlet poll up! Please take the new Quizlet!! Here are the results of the last poll on homosexuality. Wow, surprising how they changed. I think I'm going to create a more detailed poll to find out the demographics and other information about my visitors.
________________________________________ New Picture of the Week! Go to the Main page to see Aaron Hamachi's awesome pic! Wow, I finally listened to Aaron's band's CD, Selah. Or at least the music clips he has posted on the site. I discovered that I needed RealPlayer G2 to listen to most of the clips but the first song "A Better Place" works fine in 5.0 and it sounds absolutely amazing. I'm not sure why I put off listening to the songs, since several people told me the clips were up and that Aaron gave me credits on "A Better Place". I think it may have been that I felt funny getting credit and I wasn't sure if I deserved it. I know I helped come up with the title and yes, I was there with lots of encouragement but Aaron's the one that came up with the music. He's the one with the incredible talent. And of course, can't forget his great band!
A
Better Place (high bandwidth) (Recommended for ISDN or T1 lines) "To
give credit where credit is due, Lorraine Chew has writing credits on
this song. The song title, input, encouragement, and a good portion
of the musical inspiration (for the [B] and [C] sections) was from her.
Thank you so much, Lorraine. YTG! " Thank you, Aaron, for sharing your awesome music with us!
________________________________________ Check out Zev's Page, the Sensual Asian Women Calendar. Zev is the photographer for the calendar and I think the pictures look great! And before any of you get all huffy, don't worry, there's nothing here you wouldn't see in Victoria's Secret.
________________________________________ Whoa, I just realized today is the 6 month anniversary of this journal. Exactly 6 months ago today, I wrote my first entry for this journal. I can't believe I've kept it up for this long. Pretty amazing. Even more amazing is the number of people that have been keeping up with me and what's going on in my life. Thanks to everyone for all their kind words and support over the many months. You've seen me through a lot of tough times. A lot of angst and agony and of course, a lot of laughs and chuckles. Any favorite moments for any of you? I kinda liked the Shoeless Manager story. (I don't think he did though) My manager actually told me three different people came up to him and told him they read the story. Um, thanks guys. Thanks a lot. Not sure how long this journal will continue, but in the meantime, thanks again for listening everyone!
