Grrr....Lack of sleep and pounding and hammering...

I woke up after maybe four hours of sleep. I was suppose to go to sleep at about 2.30 a.m. but I did not. I know I am busted. I did not sleep until roughly 3.30 a.m. The next door neighbors did not inform us they were getting their roof done. The workers start at roughly 8.15 a.m. I was not happy. The banging they did and the removal of wood and old tar is noisy.

Then when they used the hammer back the part that you use to pry the nails off of stuff that was the last straw. They did so much banging and hammering that they even ruined a not so lovely display and got all that tar cover crap in our stairway. My favorite part had to be when they were hammering or something like that and the pictures on my wall were moving. If one flew off I would have had a fit.

However that did happen in the dining room. Two pictures flew off and a clock. We had one with a glass frame or whatever you call that thing and we had to take that down for fear it would crash and fall and break. There was another clock and we took that down as well.

It was so messy on the stairs. I could not believe it. They made a mess and tore it apart. I took pictures and I wonder if I can claim it with the neighbors. There has to be some rule somewhere. First they install the dryer hose facing the sidewalk and not towards the backyard to make up smell their laundry drying fumes (and I am sure there is a law about that) and they are doctors too. You would think they would have some common sense. And that bush they do not trim. Really annoying when the leaves fall off and the flower petals fall off. The list goes on and on. We just do not like our neighbors. Ok I do not like them more than the rest of the family because they were loud one night when I was trying to sleep. I was pretty pissed off about it.

Horoscope: Enough with your routine. Broaden yourself. Begin research on an esoteric interest.

Afternoon wake up not pleasant...

I woke up because of my horoscope. Who knew right? Not me but someone did. I forgot there was a Giants game at 1.05 p.m. until I woke up. I then tried to find it on TV and it was not on. So not only did I miss the start of the game I also missed Barry Bonds's 668th home run.

The Giants were doing ok until the last inning. It was disappointing that they lost but at least the pitcher for the Marlins had enough guts to pitch to Barry Bonds. The Braves pitcher was just a wuss, a scary cat, pansy, and chicken. Bonds is just breaking the record books for intentional walks. I believe he is up to 500 for his career.

I woke up with a headache and I thought that I could fix it with milk tea. Wrong only because the drink was not hot enough. I then had to go to regular Coke. Nothing productive done yet but there is still time.

Horoscope: Why do others keep taking the credit you deserve? Worry not. You'll get your due.

Best day ever!

This morning seemed as if the day would not be great. I only had about four hours of sleep because for some reason I could not sleep with a stuffed nose (just one side). Then when I had to get up I was not happy. The weather proved to be a bit of a challenge to dress for because it would be hot in San Jose and warm in San Francisco. I finally decided on capris (they look like long pants on me but whatever), a nice bright color t-shirt (not really my color as it was magenta), white cardigan type thing, and black flip-flops.

Let me say I went to class and took notes and even struggled to find items she talked about because she was not going in order because of that I lack some notes. Then in the end I had to ask her about the paper because it was due in less than a week. It did not help she was not in on Monday. We also received our midterms. I did ok and I say ok because she graded on a curve which helps me out a lot.

After class I went to the library to borrow any book I could on greek vases that might have something that I needed. I went directly to the section on the 7th floor and then to the third to check to see if there was anything worth borrowing but I could not find any.

Once the books were check out I headed back to the car. It took me a while since I was wearing flip flops. After that I rushed to the gas station to fill up and then drive to Stanford. I actually got the bright idea of calling when I was in the middle of no where. So I did not get the directions and lucky me of have somewhat some memory of where the museum was got there without any problems. I found parking in the same spot and then went in to take pictures. I did not see why I could not take them if someone else did and the item was not the museums.

Well once that was done I got into the car and jetted out of there. I remember how bummed I was when I could not find the museum the first time and then by pure luck I found it the second time after not giving up and had words of encouragement. The stop signs on the campus drove me nuts. I quickly found my way back onto the freeway and almost missed it at the intersection of Santa Cruz and Alpine. I had to think that Alpine was south so I would be going the wrong way and made a right instead.

I started on 280 north at 80+ M.P.H. and forgot what it was like to drive that fast since I was mostly going about 70 to reduce wasting gas or something. I should have checked the tires but no time and that would also help as well. I arrived late and I drove 80+ M.P.H. going back with three others in the car.

Then I dropped everyone off and took the long way to Geary and 16th avenue to buy something. Then I thought why not look for something for mother?s day since it was coming up. I have no idea what to get. Maybe a gift card? Running out of time and ideas. Then I got home and made me pasta. Pasta is something I am not fond of because I have eaten it too much in the past 48 hours.

I eat and then I get ready for the game. I had no idea what was going to happen but hopefully something good. We arrive at the park early and that was fine with me. We find our seats and just wait until the game starts. I believe the game start with us down two or three runs roughly. Then in the 4th inning it gets exciting! I was screaming, hollering, and getting really into the game. I mean I was into it. My voice is a little horse from it. The best night ever spent at a ball park. Thanks Herb! =) memorable night because the Giants killed in the end with the final score of 10 to 6. They made you eat your words and I am just slightly what is the word. I guess I have bragging rights.

Lou Seal, you never do anything interesting when I record you. Shame on you! Oh there little five month old baby was so cute in his little Giants shirt and also with his little wrist bands. Awww can you picture that?



That should say T5 | ATL 4 SF 9 | B 0 S (door if you were at the game you could see the doorknob) [should be S _ (number)]

Horoscope: It's just one of those days. Muddle through. Your suspicions are probably correct.

Hot and cold day...

Hot was when I had to get up and go outside to turn off the water because the hose cracked and the water was leaking. I heard it while sleeping because I do not think I was really sleeping but trying to. There was also the fact that I did turn it off but then thought it is hot and it is free ice cream at Ben and Jerry's.

I make some lunch that was not that appealing. I read Bridget Jones's Diary and think maybe I should follow her example with the calorie counting except mine would be chocolate because sometimes I just have too much. I know there was a study shown that a little chocolate is good for you.

I head over to Ben and Jerry's for some cookie dough ice cream. I had no idea I got ice cream on my shirt until I got home. I have no idea when that happened. It was still somewhat hot when I got back home.

In the evening it became cold. I mean I thought it was cold but my mum thinks it is just fine and dandy being cooler. Now I have no more early summer weather. Well school I can wear nice warm stuff. I should work on my paper but after watching or knowing the final score of the Giants game I will take a little break but might look over my paper.

I guess I might go back to sweats since the weather is changing. Sweats are so comfortable. Time to pack up for school.

One last note, I e-mail about my digital camera and I got a response of Dear Sir. So I have been insulted in the past two days in written and verbal form.

Stop Living The Lie - David Sneddon

He sits alone at a table in a small cafe
Drowning his tears in a bottomless cup of coffee
And he's tumblin into his thoughts
His memories are all tied in knots
Who is going to save him
No one wants to know him

She stands alone in a place where no one knows her name
She catches them staring they turn round and vanish the frame
And shes nursing her head and her pride
She died long ago deep down inside
Who is going to save her
No one wants to know her

(CHORUS)
I can't believe that you pull on a sleeve when you cry (when you cry)
You'll stick in the knife then give the kiss of life
Live the lie (live the lie)
We all have a saviour
Do yourself a favour
Stop living the lie

He sits alone and looks up to the eyes of an angel
She catches him starin and smiles the smile of an angel
And she asks him if this chair is free
He says yes will you sit here with me
No one would have saved them
We should all learn from them

(CHORUS)
I can't believe that you pull on a sleeve when you cry (when you cry)
You'll stick in the knife then give the kiss of life
Live the lie (live the lie)
We all have a saviour
Do yourself a favour
Stop living the lie

Class cancelled and called "Ma'am"...

We shall start with the morning. I get up and get ready for school and you will never guess what I did. I wore contacts! Yes contacts! As much as I did not want to, I did because it just felt right to wear them. It was a nice day and so I thought flip-flops, a skirt, and a linen shirt. I also had my styling Guess sunglasses. Looking good and feeling good after that comment on myself.

I drive to school and freak out because I cannot find parking. I circle around and then finally find a spot that I did not think could fit the car but does. The only worry I had was having to actually parallel park the car into a spot. Well I parked and headed off to class. I arrived and wondered why this girl who is in my class that sits in front of me did not go to class. I walk to the classroom and see on the door that class is cancelled. No big deal because I had to go to the library and find books for my paper. I had little success. I am not sure exactly why I need the books and for what reason. I spent the whole class time there in the library. I did not have a watch and so I had to go by the clock in the library.

After I checked out a VCD and one book that might help me I left to get a tapioca pearl green milk tea. I forgot to ask for no ice. =( It did not matter but I walked back to the car and thought I better fill up the tank because there might not be enough gas.

I head to the Chevron station because I thought that it needed to be treated to some supreme gas since I had been filling it up with generic gas. As I drive into the station this guy stops me and asks me if I have some money or something for him. The best part of this is that he called me, ?Ma?am.? After that I just ignored him. I do not look like a ma?am. The only part of me that he could see was the top and I had one my sunglasses, a light blue button up short sleeve linen shirt, and a skirt on. My hair was down (and might I add I am having one good hair day today). I have no clue what part of me looked like a ma?am. Oh, I did have some lipstick on, but still I am a ma?am?

On a high note the Giants are looking good.

Laundry and paper do not mix with heat...

Why did I not start on my paper sooner? It is a little too late to not work on it. After all it is due next Monday. I find out I need four sources and three of them have to be books. I wonder if the text book counts? Now I have to go to the library and get some books. Where do I start? Why me? Ok it is always me and I should never ask why me.

Hot, hot, hot day...

Well if I had a schedule of the games that the Giants play I can maybe analyze what they're doing wrong? Ok I couldn't. I would need more than that. Well I believe since watching the Dodgers and Giants play the threat to the Giants is pitching, offense, and defense by the Dodgers. Milton Bradley, Shawn Green, and Jason Grabowski are threats. The Giants have to just forget about the Dodgers and move on. They had one good outing and now should focus on the Braves. They need to relax take a deep breathe and relax and everyone focus on working together.

They should do so practice situations. Have Mr. Barry Bonds be the one that?s hitting all over the park and then have those that are a little slow work harder on sprinting. Also rotate with the regulars for their position on the field and practicing the catching. This might be all the bugs that the Giants have but who am I to say? I do not think that I can coach the team or a team.

Ok I have to get back to the paper that is not done and just on the hard drive. After a little procrastination, I think that I should get back to work.

Good job Jerome Williams. You did good. Don't let the mean Dodger Juan Encarnacion get to you. The Dodgers are just bullies. You did well. You are definitely the Giant's hero for the night. Good work. I am looking forward to your next appearance. They brought in Rodriguez and he walked the guy. This game is getting worse. It was just an out needed for the win. Please let the Giants do well. Please.

Stupid fan that made Hammonds not catch it. Grrr. The last pitch was a strike and we WIN! YES we end up getting a win. The Dodgers go down one. Ok I guess it is time for flash cards.

I am currently watching the game if you did not know. I guess I will have the occasional update depending on how the game goes. When I think about this my blog isn’t a blog but somewhat a mini news update on the game.

I guess I will get back to the game and to my webpage and not my paper which I should be working on. Tomorrow. I have to work on it tomorrow. No excuses tomorrow if I want an opinion.

Depressing game...

I woke up to find out that the Giants were losing. Not exactly great news to wake up to. I don't know about the Giants. Last night I said that Schmidt should have been pulled around the 4th inning. Me of all people who does not know a lot about sports and all the other details made somewhat of a good call. I mean we were creamed terribly last night. I forgot to mention I was on the jumbo screen last night! It was cool! That was my five seconds of fame.

The bleacher people were getting restless and chanted "Padres suck" and I couldn't have agreed more. There was a ball that was hit as a home run and the bleacher people threw it back. They didn't want it. Then there was a second one but the fans kept it so that wrong.

That is enough reminiscing about the game last night. I did not do anything productive and wish I had. I did read some of Bridget Jones's Diary. Loved Friends.

*NEWS* You really may be addicted to chocolate

Brain scans show changes similar to cocaine addicts, study finds
Updated: 12:57 p.m. ET April 21, 2004

WASHINGTON - People who say they are addicted to chocolate or pizza may not be exaggerating, U.S.-based scientists said on Tuesday.

A brain scan study of normal, hungry people showed their brains lit up when they saw and smelled their favorite foods in much the same way as the brains of cocaine addicts when they think about their next snort.

“Food presentation significantly increased metabolism in the whole brain (by 24 percent) and these changes were largest in superior temporal, anterior insula, and orbitofrontal cortices,” they wrote.

These areas are associated with addiction. For instance, the orbitofrontal cortex has been seen to activate in cocaine users when they think about the drug.

The study, published in the April issue of the journal NeuroImage, may support the argument that food advertising is helping drive the U.S. obesity epidemic.

“These results could explain the deleterious effects of constant exposure to food stimuli, such as advertising, candy machines, food channels, and food displays in stores,” Dr. Gene-Jack Wang of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, who led the study, said in a statement.

“The high sensitivity of this brain region to food stimuli, coupled with the huge number and variety of these stimuli in the environment, likely contributes to the epidemic of obesity in this country.”

An estimated 30 percent of Americans are obese, meaning they have a body mass index of more than 30. This ratio of height to weight usually works out to being about 30 pounds (14 kg) overweight for a woman and 35 to 40 pounds (16 to 18 kg) overweight for a man.

Wang and colleagues studied 12 men and women with an average age of 28. The volunteers fasted for just under a day and then underwent positron emission tomography, or PET scans, which measure brain metabolism.

They were asked to describe their favorite foods and how they like to eat them while they were presented with some of those foods.

“A cotton swab impregnated with the food was placed in their tongues so they could taste it,” the researchers wrote.

“The favorite food items most frequently selected by the subjects were bacon-egg-cheese sandwich, cinnamon bun, pizza, hamburger with cheese, fried chicken, lasagna, Bar-Be-Que rib, ice cream, brownie, and chocolate cake.”

Several leading addiction experts worked on the report including Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

*NEWS* Study: Chocolate, BBQ addiction may be real

The reason why Bonds was pitched to the way he was...

I found this at MLB.com in the Padres section of the news about Barry Bonds.

"Believe me, he wasn't trying to walk him," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He was trying to make his pitches and he just got out of sync there."

Peavy said he was not trying to pitch around Bonds.

"In the second at-bat, I was trying to be careful with him, but in the third at-bat, I couldn't throw strikes," Peavy said. "I was trying to throw more down the middle and work him away, and I just couldn't do it. That was not an intentional walk, by no means."

Annoying Padre fan...

I should start with what happen to be before the game. That stuff is always more interesting anyway. I am driving to school and one of those personal license plates I see say "FUN2FLY". That's just stupid. I think I was driving to school and I see dead stuff. I think it was road kill day or something. This is all done with four hours of sleep and a sore right shoulder blade area.

I thought I put the right paper on my little flash drive and I was wrong. I did not even get to edit it. I find out that the paper I have due on May 3rd I need proof I went to the museum. Well I am not going to go there just for that.

After that coming home I run into a car full of high school trouble makers. They might have thought I was like younger than them or something, but they tailgated me and then I them only because they did the same thing to me. How rude! Well I was somewhat pissed about that.

Ok time for the game. Really good seats and there were so many foul balls that I lost track after about ten. I was so close to the field that if a ball came and hit me I would be knocked out. The park is amazing. It is smaller in person though so that'll be a bit of a bummer for some who have never been. TV makes it look bigger. And no one does any calling of the game. You sit and you watch the boards for the strikes, outs, and how fast the pitcher threw. I think I like more because you can at least know who's on first and what not. The only thing is that when teams where colors on the board they seem to disappear. It is harder at ground level maybe than if you were higher.

Now for the real stuff. We were murdered and Peavy or something pissed me off. Bonds had no way of making number eight for the record for most homeruns in a streak in games. I hate him. He's younger than me and he thinks he can get out Mr. Barry Bonds?! He is a wussy. I will say it again. He is a wuss. I mean he could have told his children or grandchildren I remember Bonds when broke this record with me etc. But instead he'll be telling the story of how he walked Bonds and whatever. He is only 22 years old. His birthday is next month at the end of the month. If I could have chucked something at him, I would have.

Then at the game up two rows was a Padres fan. He was wearing a blue hat and was with his significant other. Girlfriend or wife or something of the sort. We joked and said don't let him in the picture! He was obnoxious. That is the nice way of saying it. The Padres have no guts and can't deal with Bonds a power player.

The team is so young. The oldest player on the team is Bonds, but he's been around since the 80s when most of the players that the Giants drafter were just five or six years old. I did some research. I want to learn the regular line up or at least the team but my brain is on slow right now. This game wore me out. I am really starting to wonder if the Giants are losing it. There is pressure for them to "represent" but if the rest of the league is just going to walk Bonds on purpose then that makes baseball not interesting. Back in the old days I bet Babe Ruth did not get the intentional walks because he was Babe Ruth. The same could be with other players. Without Bonds in the line up the Giants suffer, but with him in it and they only walk him they suffer too. It is a no win situation.

Ok tomorrow it is work on paper and I don't know whatever else I feel like. Maybe watch the game too. Rant and rave over but now I have a hit list of whom I dislike. The list so far goes:
1. Milton Bradley (Dogers outfielder)
2. Jake Peavy (Padres pitcher)
3. Unknown fan of Padres who had a significant other who was a Giants fan.

More will probably end up on this list as the season goes on.

Horoscope: Your difficulties are past. The fun starts ASAP. Reanimate your favorite project.

That was all I did today. I only started to work on my paper at nearly 11.00 p.m. genius I know. I only started working on it after my headache went away and during the Giants game. Then I started to watch 7th Heaven only because I only like watching the Giants at bat. I will admit it. I really should rest up since I am going to have one exciting night tomorrow.

The devil's number 666...

A wonderful night for a ball game. Ok minus the slight rain that happened and the wind. It was probably a bit chilly at the ballpark. I just hope the weather improves for night games. It is better for good weather and a fair playing field.

Today was one of those strange days. I had about two hours of sleep and towards the early evening, I was yawning as if I was ready to go to bed. I guess I will watch at little bit more of the soap opera that I am following (as if I was suppose to be studying but has this on instead). I jumped back and forth and I missed Barry Bonds's 666th home run. (The number is the devils so you never know.)

On another note I saw someone's license plate with "SLEEPER" on it. Some others that I have seen are "GRN CHI" on a Volkswagon Beatle and "MMMYELO" on a Toyota maybe? Looking forward to tomorrow night's game on TV since I missed 666 and so I might as well catch 667. William Hung did cheer me up because I was dancing exactly like him or his choreography.

Horoscope: You took on too much. You sat on things for too long. Now it's really your baby.

It's 3 am I must be lonely...

Well that a line from the Matchbox 20 song 3.00 a.m. I am not even done, but the oddest thing is that I am not tired. I am almost done with the flash cards. I haven’t read the book yet at all or even the one last handout that I had to print out myself. I had better at least take a look at it before I go to sleep.

The time left until the midterm is six hours and counting.

You know you're old when...OR When you’re stressed…

You lower back hurts and you wake up with a pulled hamstring (at least that’s what I think it is behind my left leg.) I am in for another one of those exciting nights of cramming. Why do I always do this before an exam? Habit I guess or just that’s what college students do. Don’t they or maybe it’s me. Well I can’t walk and I can only study. I had better get some caffeine in me though it might not be such a great idea, but you know you have to try something.

I better start the count down for my midterm. The time is now 1.00 a.m. and my midterm is at 9.00 a.m. that is 8 hours to go. The count down for my paper that is due next month is about two weeks. I have not started on it. I really wonder if I should be looking to attend day games at Pac Bell park. I think not. I had better make a note to print out the paper that I had done last semester and have her look it over to see what needs to be changed so I do not have to make a special trip to the museum that does not allow pens to be used.

Bonds has two homeruns in a game...can he make it three?

This game is so exciting especially when bases were loaded. There was the crazy hit by Alfonzo who almost took out Mohr. It was funny. Then Bonds hit his second home run and that was sweet because that made the lead a little less. There is a two run difference. I thought that Bonds would not be up until the bottom of the eighth inning but it is now the bottom of the seventh and he has a chance to hit his third home run of the game. You know that is a possibility. Willie Mays hit four in a game if remember right from what I heard on the radio the other day. He could have gone for number five but the person struck out so he never had the chance to go for five.

He got an RBI and so that's good. The Giants are now down by one run. I don't know if we'll be able to tie it up but I hope that we can. I had better get back to studying because I know I will pay for it tomorrow or tonight.

Horoscope: You're difficult to please right now. Who need new friends? Old ones are just fine with you.

4.17.2004

Disappointment...

The game was a bummer except Barry’s home run. He is on fire this year. This is his year. I do hope that the Giants renew his contract for another year and keep the records coming for them. There was one game where he was rested and that was an ugly game. Hope they do better tomorrow. They cannot be swept in this series on home their field.

Horoscope: You feel that good old rhythm. It's a familiar tune, too. Hum and dance.

Am I good luck or bad luck?

Maybe I am just a little superstitious, but once I do not have the game on either on Yahoo or watch it on TV it seems like they get a little behind. It really is too soon to tell because this is all speculation on my part. The person on the Dodgers that I’m starting to not like is Milton Bradley. It sounds like the board game person or something. I have to get back to studying and watching TV is not helping. Making flash cards and watching TV is ok I guess, but not ideal.

Go Giants! Go Barry!

I know stop procrastinating and get back to studying!

4.16.2004

The best day ever!

One of the best last innings although the Giants lost the game. Barry Bonds hitting a ball that was 101 M.P.H. into the bay. That was just crazy but it was foul. It was against Gagne. They did show who was going after the foul ball and it looked like the guy who caught number 660 and 661 just by the boat. Then the next ball he hit went out of the park and into the bleachers, (that is what it looked like to me.) So it was sweet that we got two runs and was not shut out by the Dodgers. I keep on thinking about what the radio announcer said on Wednesday about how the early games will count in the end to decide who goes off to the playoffs. To me every win is one-step closer to the World Series.

I have not felt this passionate about baseball since elementary school and middle school. I am not sure if high school I was into the game at all. Football I was into because the Super Bowl is exciting. Well I have done some of the studying or just looking up the artworks that I have to know. Weekend I will be able to study and learn everything that I have to. I just hope I can. It is a lot to take in before Monday.

Dreams…

I was going to type up my dream but then became distracted with my studies. How you may ask? I do not know but I guess it might be my short attention span. I should finish one thing at a time so the blog comes first.

As the title states it has to do with dreams. This morning I had the strangest dream. I was dreaming I was inside a ball park (maybe PacBell Park a.k.a. SBC park) and was sitting in the outfield bleachers. I have no idea what inning it was, who and if there were people on base, and or the opposing team. All I do know is that Barry Bonds was up at bat. He hit the ball right near me and I cannot remember if I caught it or not, but it was history because he must have broke someone else’s record because there were fireworks.

I think baseball is my new figure skating because I think I just gave up on the sport or all sports all together for a while. This hopefully will renew my interest in sports that I am interested in. I guess sports will be my new hobby or something. I wonder if I will see a home run when I am at the park.

Horoscope: Hardworking? Focused? Oh, you bet you are. Over the coming weekend, however, you'll be ready to turn off the cell phone and beeper and completely ignore your email, thanks to the company of someone who's far more interesting.

The company of someone who is far more interesting would be my studies and TV.

Horoscope: First you were a lion. Now you'll be a lamb. Soothe those that you have once scared.

This horoscope makes no sense.

4.15.2004

Studying done on tax day...

I actually did some studying. I had the tv on most of the time but it does not mean I did not. I did early in the evening and into night like I usually do before a test. I have some of the pieces of art done (the information I have to know). So tomorrow I can either look up terms for flash cards or just copy out of the book the information about the pieces of art I have to know. Not a hard choice. The second item is easier and no reading is needed.

Horoscope: They recognize you. You fit in. This feels like the beginning of something Better.

4.14.2004

In the news...

I read this article yesterday and forgot about it. I would have to agree with Andy Lau on his take on the movie business. When will America not be racist? When there is an Asian women president. This was a conversation I had with someone agreed with me. That is the truth because Americans are prejudice whether they think so or not.


Chinese Actor Andy Lau Shuns Hollywood

Tue Apr 13,10:22 AM ET
By MIN LEE, Associated Press Writer

The star of the hit Cantonese crime thriller "Infernal Affairs" said he won't settle for two-bit roles or stereotypical characters who only excel in kung fu.

"Do you think they respect Chinese movies?" the 42-year-old actor and singer said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.

Lau said he's been approached with Hollywood scripts but "nothing has moved me yet."

"Infernal Affairs" scored five of Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, the Chinese-speaking world's equivalent of the Oscars (news - web sites), but Lau noted it had not yet made it to the United States.

Warner Brothers bought rights to remake the film, however.

"Why can't our movies be distributed in America without going through the major studios?" Lau asked.

Other Hong Kong talents who have thrived in Hollywood are typically action stars, including Jackie Chan (news), Jet Li (news) and Chow Yun-fat.

"I don't think the product I'm working on is inferior to theirs," Lau said.

Asked whether he envisions any changes in Hollywood's attitudes toward Chinese, Lau voiced strong doubts.

"Not in my generation," he said. "Look at how long it took for blacks."

Lau said he turned down a role as a cross-dressing Chinese opera diva in the Hollywood love story "M. Butterfly" because filmmakers wouldn't entertain his suggestion to delete a scene.

"They said, 'You're nobody. Don't bargain with us,'" Lau said.

John Lone (news) eventually played the part of the Beijing transvestite — who becomes the love object of a French diplomat who initially is ignorant of the character's gender.

But the role's controversial nature wasn't the reason he rejected the offer, said Lau, who is known for his sappy ballads and mainstream movies.

Lau said his fans would accept him playing a homosexual character.

He said he had been ready to take a part in Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's "Happy Together" — the story of two gay lovers who escape to Argentina — but he opted out because of disagreements over the production timetable.

Asked why he hasn't been bolder with his choices, Lau said, "It's a matter of things falling in place."

Lau also defended the multi-tasking approach of Chinese stars.

Unlike most top entertainers in the West, Lau and his fellow artists juggle acting and singing careers.

"In the Olympics, I respect the decathlon," he said.

Lau, a 24-year veteran, insists the quality of his work hasn't suffered because of the dueling commitments. "I don't think the quality of my product is worse than those of artists who star in fewer movies," said Lau.

Crash and Burn - Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Two loads in one day...

Yes you read right. I did do two loads in one day. I was inspired to do so. Actually I ran out of towels and said I better do laundry or have no towels to use. I am proud of myself. Usually I let it get so out of control that it is three to four loads of laundry at once. When you have that many it is bad. No squirrels today but I am hoping for some next week unless it rains.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

I head off to class and the first thing we do is start on the next chapter. The quiz is at the end of class. The only problem probably the whole class had with the quiz was that it was Egypt and Greece with a little Mycenaean. Ok not everyone, but those that have not even began to study i.e. me. Class did end early and I asked all the questions that I had to ask about the terms that I did not know.

The Giants game a big bummer. I was really into it too. I was bummed when I was filling up gas and the Brewers scored two runs. The difference with listening to it on the radio is that you learn a lot of facts about baseball, but when they explain how a team started then moved then changed leagues it gets confusing. It's more entertaining and brings back the good old days. Double plays are like super cool. (I know I sound a geek saying that but it is true.) It is more exciting seeing double plays on TV because it gives you almost the feeling of being there.
I can't wait until I'm at the game next week. I was tempted to get tickets for this weekend's games but I have a midterm so it is a no-no.

Ok I guess I had better get back to studying because I have tons to read and many flash cards to make.

Horoscope: You're on the lookout. Face value is worth the starting price. Prepare to go deeper.

Tough days ahead...

Today is Wednesday and I have many things to do. For starters, I have to study for my midterm that is on Monday and I did not realize that it covered three chapters, a few handouts, and a few other chapters in a smaller book that we had to read. I do not think that I even read the other book that will like 10% of the tested material on the midterm. I know there is no way she would have more than five questions about it on the midterm. That is my reasoning, but who knows. I have to cut this short and head off to class to work on flash cards, but if I was able to do anything this weekend it would be to attend the rest of the Giants home games to see Barry Bonds make history. That is an ideal world.

4.13.2004

Baseball history...

So far Barry Bonds has hit numbers 660 and 661 in two days. When people ask me where was I when Barry Bonds hit 660 I can honestly say at Albertsons. Doing what I am not sure. I was either paying, getting chicken broth, or putting it in the car after I paid. Today Barry hit number 661. where was I when this happened? Not watching it on TV because Fox Sports Network decided to show the Sharks game (no offence to the fans of hockey) but I could have seen it at least the replay after it happen. Which brings me back to where was I. I was eating dinner when Barry hit 661. History is history, but if you can see history in the making you are lucky.

The things that have happened in my lifetime are: being in Spain when the war in Iraq started, Barry Bonds breaking Willie Mays’s record, Bush Jr. in power, Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor, five gay guys making over one straight guy at a time, and Michelle Kwan being the most decorated figure skater in history.

Oh I was wrong about the game and I should have been from the beginning because no baseball game could end in two hours except with rain delays and such. Two hours and 45 minutes the game was tonight.

Darn the Sharks!

Not to be disrespectful to the Sharks who are trying to head to the play-offs but I need to watch baseball! When did this happen? Oh, I don’t know recently. I can’t listen to the game because well. I can actually, but not while driving. I get too caught up into the game. I can at home if I am trying to study. This reminds me of when I was in middle school. (Dating myself once again.) Actually I brought a walkman to school to listen to it. I think I even listened to it while in class as well. It is ok now because I am not at that school but that would probably explain why my grades were a little poor.

The game is going pretty fast. It only started at 6.05 p.m. and we are at the bottom of the 5th inning. Whoa! This game should be over by 8.00 p.m. I wonder if the fans feel like they’ve been ripped off since the game is so short? Oh well. Back to studying. This was my five minutes of procrastination and because my had was too sore to write but I can type?!

Horoscope: Who sent in the clowns? You're trying to run a business here. Put your foot down.

If I had a business would I be in school still? Maybe.

4.12.2004

The real day...

Ok here are the real details of today. I arrived to school on time and I believe I took some pictures of the library from the school side. Then I went off to class. I arrive to class to find that we get our rewrite paper back. I think I got an "A" on it, but I think that's not right. How can an "F" paper become an "A"? No biggie right? Well I guess I am getting an "A-" now in the class?

Moving on. I head to great mall. I only end up buying flip-flops. Yup just two pairs. Why? I have not a clue. I think I became spacey after seeing that "A" on my paper. It didn?t take me long to go through the mall. Then it was off to driving back to San Francisco where I would merge into a lane while talking on the phone without knowing. Bad driving I know, but I was also listening to the Giants game as well.

Pretty exciting stuff but unfortunately I did hear it live when Barry Bonds hit number 660. disappoint I was and knowing the final score was fine. I at least was able to hear the highlights. Exactly what was I doing during the game. You are about to find out.

I said I received a phone call while driving. My mother told me to buy 96 cans (yes cans) of chicken broth. There was a limit. Six (6). Yesterday everyone could buy a case (24) no problem. Today there was a problem. I couldn?t do that. I self checked out myself with 12 and then 12 to get a case. Took me a few trips. My final trip I forgot I grabbed a Super Food drink and then apologized to the guy behind me for forgetting to pay it. You would too if you spent like two and half hours running around Albertsons buy chicken broth. That was all I did. I had no food and I was starving. At least you know what I did.

Here's where the bad luck comes into play. I almost got hit twice today in the parking lot in my car. I was looking for parking and this car was backing out and almost hit me. Then when I'm leaving the same thing almost happens too. What is up with people? Don't they look before they back up? And plus they were parked where lots of cars were. How stupid can you be? My rant and rave of today or my two cents.

Go Giants and Arnold catching 660 in the bay is something to remember.

Horoscope: What's the rush? You have the rest of your life. Whatever the object, this is love.

What's that suppose to me? The rest of my life? Huh? *boggles*

660! and I missed it!

Something that is history and I missed because I was “Maria”. I only found out after I listened to the recap of the game. Man it stinks sometimes being “Maria”. I get to do this all again tomorrow. Aren’t I lucky? Well at least there are things called highlights on the news. I am dying of hunger because all I had was a bag of fruit snacks. Nope no breakfast except milk tea. I did have water. That was refreshing.

Morning all...

Today is actually the day that I get to drive alone and do not have to carpool. Not that carpooling is a bad thing. This week is supposed to be save a gallon or something I think. Reader digest and something partnered up together. While surfing online like I usually do I read that it is actually better to drive at 65 M.P.H. because it cuts down on wasting gas. I believe I will have to agree with that. While going at 80 M.P.H. (yeah I know I am such a speed demon and have a lead foot) I notice that the gas gage did drop. I know that I should not be driving that fast and even if I am the only one in the car. I was actually going to read the book that I borrowed but I was too lazy to carry with me because I have a thing about heavy backpacks. Well time to head off to class. I will report back when I get home after being “Maria”.

4.11.2004

Wasted day…

I finished watched the TVB series. I should have been studying and doing laundry but people beat me to the washer so I am not happy. I shall try again tomorrow after I do some shopping and studying. Ok wash then study. I guess sometimes I have to learn when to stop when watching TVB series. I am hooked and addicted to them. I wonder if there is a TVBA (TVB Anonymous) because as much as I love to watch them I think I have to stop sometimes.

Horoscope: Take youre time. These changes are permanent. You'll be happy to live with them.

Questions: what changes? And why will I be happy with them? And why do I have to live with them?

4.10.2004

A disappointing game...

I watched the last bit of the Giants game. Bases were loaded but we just did not have enough to have a nice grand slam. A base hit would have been nice. Watching the TVB series The Trust of a Life Time is so good. I mean I am hooked. Ok I will admit I watch almost anything from TVB. If after a few minutes of watching the episode and I am not sold on it then it goes on the nope not going to watch it. I recently found out that we have acquired Virtues of Harmony II and so that will be my next series I will watch. I will probably end up writing up which series I have watched and though was worthy of watching. Another something for me to add to my webpage as if the anime section gets updated not so often. Even my movie section is updated when I remember movies I have seen. Time to get back to the show because it is just getting interesting.

Horoscope: The gloves are off now. It's no-holds-barred. Just hope getting serious will help.

I wonder what my horoscope is suppose to mean. Anyone have any ideas?

4.09.2004

Homework on a Friday?!

That is not a typo and you are not going blind. I actually did do some homework. Not homework but studying. I started in the afternoon and did some at night too. I have gotten a head start on the studying process. I have a quiz on Wednesday. I am getting a head start. I nailed the Egypt one and so the Greek one should be a snap. I better get back to work and start reading.

Horoscope: You know too much. Satisfy yourself discreetly. Demonstrate fair play in action.

Toffee and chocolate together are EVIL!

With probably about 4 pounds of chocolate in the refrigerator I am going to gain weight. With chocolate chocolate chip cookies I will definitely gain weight. I have to restrain from getting out of my chair to get chocolate. I do eat when I am bored. Oh man. I am one of those that need food. Next week I am at the mall! WOOT! I have not been to the mall since well last week, but to look and buy stuff last week as well, but clothes? Last year. What should I get? Summer clothes or just nice dress up clothes for special occasions? Whatever as long as I can mix and match I suppose. I should work on my flash card and I did start last night, which is a first.

Corrections to yesterday's game...

It was Grissom not Gibson. Sorry. I thought that my Giants source (no name will be mentioned to keep from embarrassing them) that made the home run and the game exciting. Oh I was itching like made on Wednesday and early this morning I found out why. A spider. And after I killed it I got itchy. Ironic isn’t it?

4.08.2004

Lent is 40 days?!

Ok who knew Lent lasted for 40 days?! I did not. So sue me. Wait. Don’t sue me. Ok well I just wanted to say I did not know that until I did a search. Ok so I gave up chocolate for a month which is hard on my part since chocolate rules at my house. Today I did nothing. Well not exactly. I packed up clothes to donate. The highlight was being locked out of the house. That was just SUPER. (That was sarcasm by the way.)

I guess Will & Grace was good tonight. After watching that I turned over to watch the Giants game. Exciting because they went into extra innings not over time because there is no set time. When one of the Giants (Gibson) made history for the park by hitting the first home run. When the score was 3 – 2 Giants I was thinking ok we can win. Then when the Padres were up and then it was man on first and second I was thinking oh no with no outs. That was scary. Then it was out, out, and out and I was relieved. That was the excitement of tonight.

Horoscope: Togetherness is good. Friendship is forever. Your history suggests your future.

4.07.2004

What a day...

I arrive at school and go to an art thing. Exhibit. I guess you can call it that. This one guy made a chair out of clay and I was like wow. That is amazing. It has been a while since I have looked at other students works of art and just said wow. I had a nice long walk from 3rd street to 11th street because I wanted tapioca milk tea. I also passed by Ben and Jerry's and found out free cone day is on April 27th so mark it down on your calendar. It is from 12.00 - 8.00 p.m.
Picture of chair made out of clay.
Neat water fountain.
Picture of squirrel.

Those are just some random pictures that I took today. I am going to sleep now. Before 12.00 a.m. is a total shock. I guess I will work on flash cards tomorrow. I will also read Bridget Jones's Diary too.

Horoscope: It's members only now. Outside opinions don't rate. You'll take their money, though.

4.06.2004

Sleep, sleep, and more sleep...

I have slept for at least 12 hours. It felt so good. Although, I heard the doorbell, arguing, and talking I still slept. Sleeping was good. The feeling of being in a nice warm bed was pure heaven. I did manage to get my webpage finished but for some reason the place is down and I couldn?t update it. Boo.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was crazy. I mean the guy looked like a different person. It was like the one with the guy who was a taxidermist. Well I guess I better pack up my backpack for school or get ready for bed.

William Hung's CD is out now.

Horoscope: You can do better. Loved ones support you. Success comes as a pleasant surprise.

4.05.2004

Long long day?

Ok here's a quick recap of today. I went to bed at 3.30 a.m. and then woke up at 5.00 a.m. I went back to sleep at 5.30 a.m. I finally woke up at 6.14 a.m. that is including fixing my paper and retyping it and was tired or cold and just decided to get back into bed. Mmm nice warm bed. Fluffy pillow.

Driving to school was fun. Whee. Actually it was ok. I got my books and VCDs. You read right I did borrow a couple of books. Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones's The Edge of Reason. I thought since I am such a fan of the movie I might as well read the book. Last book I read was A Walk to Remember. Honestly.

I guess I will get started on reading and hopefully I will pass out and just be in heaven. =) Cows and horses look the same when they are lying down in the grass.

Horoscope: Something has to give. You're determined. You could be here awhile at this rate.

Lack of sleep = nap, nap, and a missing me...

"You have always been a hard worker, dear Capricorn, with a good business head and a strong sense of practicality. However, successes in the past few weeks might have you thinking about the possibility of doing something a little more creative and innovative to earn your bread, possibly having to do with the endless opportunities surrounding the Internet. Communications of all kinds - business and personal - should come to you throughout this auspicious period. Enjoy it!" - Horoscope

That does not help me at all! I wonder why it didn’t say something like you will need more sleep and the time change will mess you up. Or my favorite would be Windows is evil and beware of saving malfunction. Should I go back to bed for the 30 minutes or just stay awake? I think back to bed.

I hate papers!

I an rewriting my paper (no just making correction) and I have no idea what to write about. I know I have topic but I am not even close to it. I wonder if it is because I lack the knowledge and understanding of it. I did horrible on my paper. Let us just say it was not even passing and leave it at that. I am still thinking about how to rewrite it. No luck yet. I should sleep soon, but after having the second cup of milk tea I think I am finally awake.

4.04.2004

Cemetary...

The cemetery was not over packed with people which was good. However there was a downside. The family that loves to play Mah Jong and set off fire crackers as well as eat there was there. This happens every so often when we go during Ching Ming. That family is horrible. The children were running around and even tossing a football. The parents do not care and although they are roughly six to ten years of age they should know better. I guess you can only blame it on the parents. We know it is them when they break out the Mah Jong table and the children run wild. My two cents on how this holiday should not be celebrated.

No more spring break...

No woot here. Just depression. I have not even touched anything from my studies and with the time I went to bed last night and having to go to the cemetery it makes it somewhat difficult to focus. As I am about to take a nap or have been wanting to I wonder if I should. If I take the time to do so I should either wake up extra early tomorrow to get done what I do not today.

Sitting here when I see the McDonald's commercial I think that it will live on while the stores or businesses that were once on top are now gone or dying. Here are some examples: Woolworth, Emporium, Thrifty, Mervyn?s, Sears, Kmart, Esprit, and Kay-bee Toys. If you were to explain to them there were once these stores they would look at you strange. Woolworth had clothing, food, and toys. Emporium was more expensive than Ross, but less than Macy?s. if you headed off to England you would find a Woolworth. I was ecstatic to see one while going back to the bus after viewing Shakespeare?s gravesite.

I might as well call it an early night and or take a nap. I am not better after caffeine I the afternoon. I think I do need caffeine in the morning to start me off, unless it is the afternoon.

Horoscope: Make smart friends. Stay informed. It's okay to like the sound of your own voice.

4.03.2004

PISSED!

I hate my brother! First, he "fixes" the computer just by turning it on. That was it and VIOLA it was fixed. Then he started to poke me for having a picture of him as my wallpaper. How rude! Then I was fuming and then I just started to take picture of him left and right. Then he gets even by jumping into my bed! It is not possible for me to jump into his because he has bunk beds! Curse him! *shakes fist at him*

I think I am starting to act more and more like Yukino from Kare Kano. Two face yes, but I do not know about the perfect image part. So I ended up changing my sheets for my bed which I did a couple of weeks ago. That BAKA. I ended up having to do a load of laundry and I do not like laundry!

I am still using my laptop and I am somewhat worried it might have a virus since there is no virus protection. Not good if I want to be online. Therefore, I am still mad at my brother. Now I have to make a list of stuff to do for Sunday. Spring break is over. Poo.

Horoscope: You know your way around here. Move with trust and good will. Be a model citizen.

4.02.2004

Irony...

Isn't it ironic I would be folding my clothes on a Friday night? I should be doing something else but instead that is what I was doing. I would be working on my paper and or something important, but I just do not feel like it. I guess I am milking spring break for all its worth since this is my last one. I could be doing something productive but I am not. I wonder why my professor has not put together a study guide yet. I would love to get started on revising for the midterm. I say that now, but come time when it actually is midterm time I will be regretting and eating my words. I finished watching Kare Kano and it had a crap ending. However, the middle stuff was good. So romantic and so fictional.

Poor poor computer...

My computer died on me this morning. Ok it was not morning, but it might have well been. In the afternoon when I woke up and turned it on from hibernation, it was still fine. Then when I decided to restart it that is when my computer died. I am glad tat I have a laptop for backup to keep me from going insane. However, I should use this time wisely to work on flash cards and rewrite my paper. If I knew where it was and or if it was on my flash drive, I would be more relieved. I could work on my flash cards and I should do some reading.

Horoscope: Excess isn't for you. It's ok to refuse. Someone has to keep a grip on reality.

April Fools!

I am finally done! I have done! Of course when I was uploading the pictures and the pages I exceeded the limit and then had to get more web space. I guess in a way I am glad I have so many e-mail addresses because I have used at least 100MB worth of space. I am done. The only thing is that I hope they do not delete my site just because I have pictures. Some of my pages have words. I just haven?t has the time to write stuff.

Horoscope: The walls have ears. Friends have loose lips. This is a time for great caution.
