5-6-99 Thursday Nite

Hmmm, my camera got stuck today and nobody told me.  Did people think I was being one of those mime/robot street performers, frozen in the same position?

I've added my cam to another cam site.  Please vote for me?  :)

Thanks!!!

GOOD LUCK to my buddy Cynthia L. who is going to be taking her court reporter's licensing exam next weekend.   Go Cynthia!!!

I'm tired and grouchy today.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's cuz my allergies are kicking in and I've been sneezing, my nose is itchy and my throat is bothering me.   Bleck.   

I'm so glad it's Friday tomorrow.   Ok, going to bed now.  Zzzzzzz...

Heeyyyyyy!!  I just added a search engine to my site! How cool is THAT?  Now you'll be able to search my entire web site for any references and information.

Search      This Site The Web

This is so awesome.  Just type in some text and click on the Go! button to run the search.  I'm going to have to add meta tags and document titles to some of my pages but I really love this new feature.  Hope you like it too.

Thanks to my old pal Robert Pon for sending me the image above.  He he.

Apparently some people thought I was actually serious about auctioning myself off at eBay.  Thanks to everyone who submitted their bids but really, I was just kidding.  Maybe from now on I should do this...

<HUMOR> Some random funny stuff... </HUMOR>

Does that help?

And just for the record, cuz people have been asking...

No I am not getting back with what's-his-face.  Nor am I getting back together with HIM.  And I am not getting together with so-and-so.  And as far as the other guy is concerned, well, I don't know.   I'll have to get back to you on that one.   Aren't you glad I cleared that up?

Thank you very much to Zach Garland for sending me the text of the blurb in Internet Life.

Here's what they said about me in the June 1999 issue of Yahoo! Internet Life:

"WEBCAM WATCH

"For better or for worse, it's an EDtv world, with
amateur superstars pointing $100 Webcams at themselves
in search of a voyeuristic core constituency. Joining
JenniCam on the hot list of 24-hour/seven-day
attractions is the PG-rated digital diva at BADDGRRL'S
DOMAIN [www.baddgrrl.com]. By day, she's a
quality-assurance engineer in San Francisco. After
hours, BaddGrrl dispenses advice via her ICQ channel
and lets loose with an occassional rant on the battle
of man versus woman. Many visitors don't like her edgy
shtick about men (check out her list of sour pickup
lines and see for yourself), but they do seem to be
coming back for more."

Oh they're comin back for more.  Yeah baby!

5-5-99 Wednesday

I read on Mare's page that someone put the earth up for sale on eBay.  Yes that's right, the earth, our planet.  It gave me the idea of putting myself up for auction on eBay.  What do you think of this description...

One BaddGrrl (that's not A bad girl but THE BaddGrrl) for auction.  Sold AS IS, no warranties, no guarantees, no nuthin.  It's a crap shoot baby, hope you're wearin your lucky shoes.

"So what do I get with this BaddGrrl Package? Do I get to have hot, wild monkey sex with her?"   That would be no.  "Do I get to take romantic, moonlit walks on the beach with her?"   Again, that would be no.  "So um, what exactly do I get?"  Well, you get to have tasty meals at local dim sum restaurants in San Francisco, while you enjoy exchanging witty repartee with the Badd One herself.  Well, actually you get to sit there and listen to her drone on and on about herself while eating dumplings (and you get the bill ok?).  Doesn't that sound wonderful?   You're excited, I can tell.  Start the bidding!

Hey, I just discovered a new site where you can build a website for free.  You can have your own homepage with chatroom, guestbook, photos, links, feedback forms & more.  Pretty cool.  Check it out...

5-4-99 Tuesday

I just found out that my site is mentioned in the June 1999 issue of Yahoo! Internet Life magazine.   Someone came by and signed my Guestbook saying they got to my site from the link on Page 50 of the latest issue.  I went to two stores looking for it but I only saw the May Issue.

I was able to find the link online at the Yahoo! Internet Life site:

I'm in the "Click Personal" section.  I think in the magazine there's actually a blurb in there about my site.  Has anyone seen it? Do you know what it says?

The ironic thing was, I saw Internet Life for the first time ever just last week.  I thought it was a new magazine actually.  When I first saw it, I thought, "Wow, it would be so cool if I could get my site mentioned in there."   Seriously, that's what I thought.   And I really thought it was a brand new magazine but I guess it's been around for a while.   Isn't that weird?  Man, maybe I should wish I get mentioned in Time magazine or something...

And while we're on the media tip...

Chris Warren from the Irvine Spectrum News wrote telling me that my site was featured in the May 3rd issue of the paper.  I also wrote him, answering a few questions he had about my webcam experience and that article will be appearing in the May 10th issue of the paper.

So far, they haven't posted either story on their site and I've only seen the text of them via email.  As soon as it's on the web, I'll send out the URL.

______________________________________

From the "Aren't we a little catty?" file:

So is it mean to take some comfort in the fact that someone you used to go out with is now going out with someone who is less than attractive?  Oh who are we kidding, downright UGLY?  I know, I know, looks aren't everything.   But for some reason, I feel better when I know that the person that came after me is somewhat less attractive.  Go ahead call me shallow, call me petty, call me a cab, I don't care.  If she's nicer than me, I don't care. Hell who isn't?  If she has a better personality, well geez, since I lack one, it's not hard to one up me there.  But if she is waaayyy better looking, then somehow, that would bug me.   It's not that I think I'm Miss Thang or anything.   (You mean I'm not?!)  But maybe that's just one of my insecurites.  I don't know.  If she is a bow-wow ruff-ruff, it warms my heart. Just a little. 

______________________________________

He called again today, left me a message.  I'm really tempted to tell him not to call me anymore.   It's not so much that I don't want to talk to him but it really kind of throws me into this emotional tailspin.    Sure it doesn't last too long but still, I can do without the angst, you know what I mean?

Less angst, more fiber.  That's my motto.

So he called me yet AGAIN today:

Lorraine: Hello?
Him: So how come you didn't call me back?
Lorraine: Um, I was too busy.
Him: Too busy?
Lorraine: Yes
Little voice inside Lorraine's head: What part of too busy did you not understand?
Him: Sure you were.
Lorraine: I was!
Little voice inside Lorraine's head:  I was. I was busy picturing myself throwing rocks at your head.

Him: Well I just called to...

Little voice inside Lorraine's head: To what?!   a. Drive a stake through my heart?  b. Wreak havoc on my internal organs?  c.  Cause major gastrointestinal upheaval in my digestive system?   What?

Forgot to say thank you to Ian for writing Haiku for Lorraine:

Haiku for Lorraine

long distance far away, light across miles of fiber, chest flash that

Ian says I inadvertantly "flashed" him when I was doing Tae Bo on the HomeCam on Saturday.   I vaguely remember that, as I was frantically trying to punch and kick my way through the workout.   There may have been brief and minor "poppage" as I punched right and my other body parts went left.   Guess I need a better sportsbra.

Ian's latest journal entry contains his musings about women and Happy Meals.  I am proud to say that the only time I ever purchased a Happy Meal is when I was trying to get the Mulan character for the Mareciless one.  Unfortunately, I was thwarted in my efforts and only got the dude with the large barrel chest and the teeny tiny head.  I've never seen Mulan so I have no idea what his name is.

I am definitely not a Happy Meal type chick.  I'm more of a big-ass burger kinda girl.  Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce?  I don't think so.   I want it all baby.

Ok, here's the big question... Ian, you're on date with a hottie...  not just any old hottie but a hottie with hooters to die for.  So WHY the heck are you cruising through the Golden Arches?!?!  Let me just say that if you were able to score with a cheeseburger, small fries and a coke, my hat's off to you buddy.   And by the way, when you come back to the States... I require at least an order of buffalo wings.   At the very minimum.  Celery sticks optional.

5-3-99 Monday

You go girl!!   Congratulations to Lisa Ling for winning the spot as co-host of the ABC morning show, The View.

Lisa Ling

For those of you not "in the know" as far as daytime TV, The View is this show where a bunch of strong-minded, intelligent women talk about various topics.  There were 4 hosts, including Barbara Walters but I think they wanted a "fresh face".   Someone under 30.  So they launched this HUGE search for a new co-host and it came down to 3 candidates. I was hoping it would be Lisa but on one of the 2 shows I saw her on, she wasn't that vocal, although she was always poised and very well-spoken.  But today they announced that Lisa was chosen as the new co-host.   She really seemed to fit right in and I think she'll be a great addition to the show.

Ok, I need to vent a little here...

Now some of you may have seen my "List of Links" page where I allow pretty much anyone with a website to add their page.  My only condition is that I ask them to put a link back to my page on theirs.  Pretty simple request right?  And then not only do I allow them to add their link, they can put in any description of their page that they want.   Not too many link exchanges offer that.  Most just have a text link at best. 

Also, to get the my List of Links page, all you have to do is click on the "Links" link on my main page and you will see all the links people have entered.  You don't have to click on several pages to get to the Links.

Now here's my beef.  I've had several people submit their links and then when I go to look for my reciprocal link on their web site, it's buried on some obscure page somewhere that NO ONE would ever go to.   Some put it on a page that is not linked from anywhere on the site so it will never be seen by anyone.  Except me I guess when I go to look for my link.   Some put it on an entirely different web site or domain!   For example, if their main web site is:

www.mykickassdomain.com

But they put my link on something like:

www.geocities.com/aintnobodygonnaseethislink/link.html

I went to one page where he had a links page and I looked for my link. It was nowhere to be found.  Then I checked out the URL that he said he had added my link and it was a weather page.  There were several weather maps showing the conditions for boogieboarding and then waaaaaaayy at the bottom was a link to my page.

I mean come on, what are these people thinking?   I guess they just want me to see that they have a link somewhere, even though it will never be seen.  Hmmm, where is the most obscure, lamest place that no one will ever go to that I can put this link?   Ok, I'll put it on my "Feet Don't Stank" page! Yeah, that's it.  No one ever goes there...

Sheesh.

5-2-99 Sunday

Booty, booty, who's got the booty?  Me! Me! That would be me!   It seems like my booty is disproportionately big compared to the rest of my body.  I'm working on it though.  Squats, leg lifts, kicks... every little bit helps.

Darn.  We had to forfeit our softball game yesterday cuz not enough people were there at game time.  That was a pain cuz our games are pretty far away so everyone had to drive down there.  Well, we played a little just for fun and it was good getting in some BP (batting practice).  I really need to hit the cages.

I've been making good use of my Powerline Wavemaster. Or as Ian likes to call it, my "monolith".   When I'm waiting around for my ride to come pick me, I just put on my bag gloves and do some bag work while I'm waiting.  So I'm a little sweaty by the time they arrive.   They'll just think I'm excited to see them. :)
