Year of the -- tired but eager -- DOG
Sunday, February 05, 2006
It's a gorgeous sunny day in LA and I'm a tired wreck! I just finished a weekend run of Made in Taiwan and I thank all of the folks who came out to give me good love for the show. I went and got a massage for this knot of a hump I call my shoulder and the masseuse said about my shoulder, "there's something going on inside there." For the last several weeks I have been rehearsing almost 8 hours a day so that I can give several hundred people an hour and ten minutes worth of entertainment. We had to turn away folks on the last night but I'm just grateful I didn't do a ton of publicity and you guys showed up, yea! We will do a longer run later this year when I am up for more scars and carnage.
Hope everyone's new year is off with a bark. Can you tell I'm tired? That last line was really desperate. Anyhow, I was thinking of what I could contribute to the Blogspot that would be interesting to you guys. Any thoughts? Don't say pictures of me in my everyday life because I never take pictures of myself in every day life, I think that's why we call it every day life. I could take pictures of like the food I eat? That would be a little odd. What about fun stories of being an actress in LA? Anyone up for a good dose of regulated torture? I think it could be really funny, but names would have to be withheld to protect my own innocence. What do you guys think? By the way, did you guys hear what Adam Corolla said about the Asian Excellence Awards? It was pretty offensive and if you have the time to write CBS and protest that would be great. He can say things like that about Asians but I don't think he'd have the balls to say things like that about Blacks. And I don't think Blacks would let him get away with saying stuff like that either. So, don't let him get away with it.
You guys rock. Kiss woof hug. Or hug kiss woof.

Hi Michelle,
I hope nothing is too serious with the knot of hump on your shoulder. I get that too because of my work....facing the computer for more than 10hours a day. That sucks....
You do sound really tired, but hang in there.Opportunities to keep yourself busy and for your work to be recognised don't come by often. You can always leave messages or join the chatroom whenever you feel you need to let it all out. All your fans are always here to give you all the support you need. -

it's good to see message from you! i think everyone here is interested in every piece of message you drop, so just leave anything that you'd like to share with us here whenever you have free time!
besides, be sure to take care of yourself! healthy body is a must for your successful artist life! -

Thanks Michelle for sharing with us your thoughts on your daily life and schedule. The thing I like about you, you show the real side of you - be it your feelings, your style of doing things and your philosophies in life. You do not hide or have to act as if you are a celebrity thus having to maintain a public image that walls fans/people off. And I truly enjoy that of you. Hopefully, we can see you penning more thoughts of yours and to be able to know you better.

Hi Michelle,

Dear Michelle,
Just share whatever you want to share.
Fans, at least me, would be very happy to see everything you post.
Just be yourself, it's your blog~ ^____^
Take good care of yourself. :) -

Hello Michelle,
1. I will vote for escenkay's ideas and the idea of "receipe" :) very interesting.
2. I'd love to hear the comments and sharings on the particular events in your life, e.g. the feedback of your sis' wedding in Taiwan...then we get to know you more as a friend.
3. I love the idea "stories of being an actress in LA" since it's a world that most of us will never touch 8)
4. As a fan, again, any thing about you or from you will be more than welcome!!! -

Dear Ms Krusiec,
It's great to hear from you and that you've had a great run of MIT!
Hopefully,you will be able to bring your MIT to Singapore, or S.E Asia soon. I can't wait for the day.
Perhaps other than the interesting stories of LA actresses, you may want to recommend or give reviews of some of the good films/ play you've truly enjoyed recently.It would be great to exchange recommendations. I just watched "Matchpoint" and it was great; made my blood boil!Can't wait for the Singapore Film Fest!
Anyway, pls take good care and I look forward to catch more of you.
You're an incredible actress! -

Hi Michelle
I would love to hear :
- Latest CD that you bought
- Books that you're currently reading
Seriously, write something that you feel like. At least we'll be able to see the other side of you that you'll like to show us, instead of what we wanna see.
Cheers and have a great year ahead! -

Hi Michelle,
Saw the Friday showing of Made In Taiwan. It really was amazing. I liked how you managed to stick some Spandau Ballet in there, too. I love that song for no particular reason.
As far as this blog - Personally, I think it would be cool to see what kinds of food you eat and where you eat them. That's always interesting...

Hey,
Happy Chinese New Year once again :) I'm sorry to learn about your hectic life and busy schedule. Perhaps more massages will help :) I don't think you're too thin at all. I could see the biceps ;) In fact, I think you're fit and I love that. I'm missing out on Made In Taiwan. I hope I'd be able to see it one day. I'm also more interested to know you as a friend. Giving some recipes or cooking tips would be great, don't forget noodle recipes hehe. And what?? Your sis just got married? Hmm, I never knew about your family. Keep us updated :) -

Hello my dear Michelle, I am very happy you have come here. Can you read Chinese or write little Chinese because almost of your fans's English is not good.Actually, I want them to know what you are getting on and close to you. And, I mean that would you mind translating your message in Chinese, wow ! Thank you very much

I'm up for "a good dose of regular torture". Read about the Adam Corolla issues. I was called a Ching Chong by an African while I was travelling in South Africa on a Backpacking trip there, a local friend grabbed that guy by his collar and said to him, "DO NOT CALL MY FRIEND CHING CHONG" there you go, lucky to have such friend. Its rude and unfeeling to made such statement and absolutely not funny. Only lame people laugh at such "jokes" I hope he apologised. Someone needs to grab him by his collar too. Racial harmony, and world peace!
Hope to see MIT in Singapore, there is great potential and no language barrier to play to English speaking audiences at either our "Art House or the Esplanade."
Prosperity and fortune for 2006. More film contracts and pinky health. -

Hi Michelle, tired? Time to take a break and do nothing.

hey, guys. just checkin' in. i notice a lot of comments/questions about food. hmmm. good to see my peeps and i have that in common. and yes, i was looking a little thin around the time of MIT (made in Taiwan). See kids, that's what acting can do for you! my favorite recipe for fish - try this one: take some white fish and steam it with spring onions, ginger, white wine, salt and PICKLE JUICE! yeah, that's really good. don't tell my mom i told you the pickle juice though, that's the secret ingredient. if you can marinate the fish overnight with ginger and salt beforehand, that would be even better. then add the pickle juice and wine just before you cook it (and not too much wine or it'll turn out bitter.) then steam it for like 10 minutes tops. To end I will leave you with some inspirational thoughts. In the words of the last blogger: Asians do Rock! But remember: We all rock. Love and believe in yourself and don't let anyone take you down, especially that little voice inside your own head which seems to take over at times.

hi michelle,
Thanks for the receipe! =) I will try to source the pickle juice in Asian grocery shop. Marinate shouldn't be a problem. Cooking for ownself for quite some time, keep repeating the same dish, boring. You see, I am not a good cook and I am running out of receipe so I need yours, hahaha.. =P I think my best dish is only pork chop, I believe you still have alot of receipe I can "steal" from *LOL* -
