^^^ I did. It was so slow and kept freezing, but it wasn't impossible to get stuff from it. Was there something I was supposed to get off of it for you? smile.png

I made these last night... I thought it was a good Edward/Tracy scene.

Tracy: Why don’t you sit down and rest, Daddy? Let others do the worrying.

Edward: Spare me the phony concern.

Tracy: Jeez, Daddy, we’re trapped in a burning building. We may not make it out alive. What possible reason would I have to be phony? I love you. Why do you let everybody in but me?

Edward: Because you frighten me, Tracy. You always have. When I look at you, I see the worst of myself.

Tracy: Well, I’ve succeeded. All I ever wanted was to be just like you.

Omg I forgot about those clips!! I knew you couldn't find the old computer but I forgot why you had been looking. Dumby. They were the old Ashton Tracy clips but ill have to think about it for the specific ones. At least the drunk dancing one after something to do with the Tracy sinking, the furniture moving and Ashton making Tracy breakfast. I don't know what else off hand. I have been painting wine glasses and ornaments all weekend so I can't even get my brain to focus on anything else yet. They r for sale if anyone wants some. I'll post pics when I am on my computer and not the phone

^^^ knh, I'll see what I can do.

I've been reading people's thoughts on what Edward left Tracy today, and some of what I've read is quite deep, and I'm not sure if I see Edward as that deep in that aspect...

What do you all think his message was (if there even was a message) by leaving her the jar of Pickle Lila?

I read the comments too, and I'm not sure Edward was that into symbolism. I haven't seen the show, but when I saw it stated that she only received the pickles, the first thing I though of was Edward was giving her another piece of her mother - a piece Tracy hadn't been around for. Edward knew more than any other Q (except now perhaps her sons) that Tracy loved deeply and through sending her away, he denied Tracy access to her mother. This was obviously something Edward treasured as something personal, so he gave Tracy something personal. As others mentioned, this sets of stories for a long time, and who knows what Heather has done to the Will or what Luke will do to help Tracy when he returns. But I think in time, Tracy will understand.

i don't know if these pics will show up but i hope so... otherwise i'll have to find another way to get them on here

now for my complaints if no one minds reading them.... still on the job search troubles.

- so after about 3 years of applying to theaters in nyc (all of them, opera, broadway, off broadway.... every damned theater) i finally had one person from Evita call me back but of course I got the 'clearly you're talented but..." speech. though his was a nice "but" speech. he said I need to get in touch with the union who does the hiring. I tried to CALL every theater i could b/c i thought maybe hat was just how that show worked, though i called the union anyway. Evidently they have doctors hours b/c they are closed when i get out of work and i have yet to be able to get in touch with them on a lunch break. theaters don't give their numbers so I tried a back way and get telecharge and see if i can get the number from them. all they could give me was the number for the shubert org. I called THEM and the woman kept saying "well you can't call the theater they won't hire you (i know that that's why I'm calling you) you have to be a member of the union to get a job (again, i know that, how do i join the union?) you have to join the union!!! (.... wtf?) you have to get in touch with someone in the field to get the info (k- let me get patti lupone and i'll figure that out.... cricket... dumb a$$- if i could do that i wouldn't be calling you!).... hang up the phone. so now I have FINALLY gotten in touch with someone at the union and what i was told is to go to the website and it'll tell me what to do to join- they GAVE me the site b/c there are about 500,000 different sections to go to and fields to search. What it told me is that I need how ever much experience and the start up membership fee is $3500!!!!!!!

WTF- this is such a "you can't get there from here" situation.... what the hell do i do now? I can't get experience ANYWHERE without being in the union and I can't join the union without having it. I want to just call theaters and see if they will take on any volunteer stage hands so I can get my feet wet and learn the biz and get my name on some work.... but I think they frown upon storming the backstage....

my career choice sucks in a big way!!

and of course the pics didn't show up. does anyone know how i can just cut and paste them on here? it isn't allowing it it just shows those numbers up top...

i'll try again soon

anyone know any good fileshare sites I can use? I need to start loading my resume and portfolio on that to send apps b/c the pics are making the files too big to send in emails

if there were ever a group who used them I'd figure it was you guys:)

hooked- i know you suggested one to me a while back but i can't remember it and also i don't know if it was a fileshare or if it was like an external harddrive on a website

knh Sendspace always works for me

And I can see why you're so fed up. Always follow your dreams! I have a couple suggestions..Try a talent website,start small in your career and make your way up,find connections,use social media sites (Facebook,Twitter,Pinterest,Tumblr,Flickr,Myspace,etc) to advertise or promote yourself,ask for help,occasionally pick up business cards...I can get you specifics if needed. I'm glad to help because I used to use a talent website and gave me all kinds of auditions,experiences and gigs.

i am trying to get into set design/ art department for theater so i think it may work a little differently for the talent website but otherwise they're good suggestions. I have done all of the above. i joined twitter for that exact reason and it's been suggested to me to try to contact people directly via their website or something to see about doing cover art or anything they might need. the trouble is no one runs their own site and for something like twitter they have to friend me before i can send a message. i do have it all set up though. I have done local sales and things like that for my actual "art" but i live in CT so nothing around here helps me be known in NYC and nothing i do around here ahas anything to do with what i am trying to get into. I think i'll just need to bite the bullet and pay the freakin' money but i don't have that much extra to just throw at a union and not even have the jobs yet!!

anything specific you can give me would be great though!!!

unfortunately i am pretty sure that sendspace has a shelf-life that sin't very long so if these people don't get them right away it's been wasted.... also- sadly, my connections are wasted too. I know art dirctors on both coasts and my cousin is one in NYC. supposed to have been a shoe-in for a job with anderson cooper and THAT fell through so i'm finding her less and less helpful as the time goes on. then again, i guess it's not her job to find me a job

my cousin had suggested dropbox but that is saving everything in another folder on my computer!!! why do i want it in a second spot?! i'm looking to move it OFF my computer and be able to share it, not to just hide it in a million folders...

ARRRGHHH...... angry.png more than fed up today

knh I'm truly sorry. Do you think you could move sometime to NYC,LA,Hollywood,Miami,Orlando? You know the big places? Because I live in Fl and out here opportunities are basically handed to people whether its for modeling,art,acting,photoshoots,anythig in the media arts field. I have at least six cousins who are/were/was in the modeling field,were/was/is in an modeling agency and also have dancing careeres/gigs. They are all under 20 and 2 younger than me,one lives in NYC and the rest down here. So would you consider over time to move to somewhere like this? I mean even just for a few days/weeks? I bet you'd get tremendus opportunities,but I really don't know the specifics on this? I'll find more for you though,specifically

knh, I wish I could help you, but I'm not familiar with that business.

As for storage sites, I don't think there's anything that will hold your files long-term unless of course you pay a fee. I did a Google search for online portfolio sites...Maybe this one would be good? http://carbonmade.com/ or http://www.portfoliobox.net/ or http://www.pixpa.com/ It looks like the middle one is the best option from a quick glance...

remos, thanks for your input on today's scenes.

I hate when I get too involved with a show...It makes my head hurt...It's easier to just watch and enjoy and not watch and analyze - haha.

I really do hope this leads to something promising. Edward and Tracy had such a sweet final scene at the hospital when she stole the medicine for him (a complete turn around from 1980 when she withheld it). Cutting her out of the will and making her feel like she still couldn't get Daddy's love, respect, and approval even in his death completely takes away from the last scene they shared. Such a shame.

I'm glad Ned will be there for her tomorrow (actually, he's really been the only one there for her so far, unless you count Monica's hug).

I think the pickle lila for tracy was edward's way to pushing her to finally figure out that she didn't need anyone's else's approval (his) to be validate herself and lila created something on her own two feet that was a success and he has faith tracy can do the same.

When the Qs were down and out and living at Kelly's and lost their fortune it was Lila who became a success and helped them to rebuild.

Just my take anyway...also maybe edward wanted her to find happiness with someone who loves her for her and not the Q money? Another thought...

    • I do like that they seem to be pushing ahead with Dante and Lulu as opposed to what I feared would be an overly-long wait for a reunion. But while Lulu has always been rash and at times self-righteous, the story does feel skewed towards FV's faves (Setton vs. Laura's kids).
    • The fact that Lois brought Gio to Brook Lynn's wedding, encouraged him to stay in town, then decided he should live at the Q's make her look dim and like she was asking to get caught lol. I still strongly dislike this story, but the performances have been good.  Like you said Gio finally has a story and Dante will get something to do besides playing house with Sam on the backburner.

    • I'm up to 300. About 12 episodes left of the Barnes.  The development of the Prescott family has been the big event in the last few months of episodes I've watched. Jerry Timms as Gil is a nice addition as the show's new young stud. I like when the villains start out as deeply human and just generally flawed individuals like Gil, and early Nancy. Something the show does well is the sorta low level conflict that can generate with things like Gil's carefree playboy "life of the party" lifestyle interfering in the day to day happenings of him and his family. Gil is a shameless flirt and orders a beer or three when he is on lunch from the construction site. I think the conflict between himself and his father, Jason, is compelling even if I'm not sold on Read Morgan. If Morgan was a local talent, I think I might be more generous, but Morgan had a bit of primetime credits I believe. Jason, like Gil, isn't a one woman man so the internal conflict within the Prescott clan is ripe for drama. Yet, there are definitely flaws. Gil's relationships with Sheila Carter, a recast Vicki Lang, and Deena Greely seem to unattached to the larger story that I am not invested. Donna Denton isn't bad as Deena, but she lacks a bit of presence to carry the story in Mitch Dunbar's absence; she is now Mitch's law partner. Gil's flirtation with a married Lori was interesting and appeared to be done to build conflict between Gil and Russ, who seems to be heading in Renee Crawford's Marianne Prescott's direction now that Becky is out the door. Crawford slides right into the role of Lori's friend and Russ' love interest well even if Becky was (at least in the pre-Barnes) episodes more compelling as a woman who had deeper flaws than Marianne. Marianne's inner conflict has some legs if it goes anywhere. With her mother Corrine's passing, Marianne has assumed the mantle of the woman in her father's life and defacto mother to her restless, reckless brother Gil. At present, Marianne is putting her graphic design dreams on hold to work at Prescott Development, sacrificing her own desires for the "greater good" fo the Prescott men. I feel like Marianne is the kind of girl that Carrie Weaver will love and unintentionally terrorize with her overbearing, nearly incestual love for her son, Russ. If Chris Auer hadn't jumped ship to the writing team (his scripts are strong so I'm not mad), I would have liked to seen Francis pining for Marianne to complete the assumption of Becky's role in the lives of the men Becky knew (and who loved her).  The complete revision of the Vicki character with the recast and pairing her with Gil is odd. It is basically a new character. Laura Leigh Taylor's Vicki was more conservative and business focused while the new Vicki is more outgoing and lively. I don't hate the new actress but it's such a dramatic shift in characterization and I'm not clear why. I know a later character (Stacey Phillips) assumes the characterization of Taylor's Vicki Lang, but I don't think that occurs until a few months into Jason Vining's work. I also just cannot see Taylor's Vicki giving Gil the time of day when she constantly rejected Peter.  The quad between newly arrived developer Jason Prescott, recently widowed Terry, Terry's old friend Dr. Alex Greely, and Jason's corporate attorney Sharon Landers is equally weak. Alex comes off as desperate. Robert Burchette is more than serviceable in the role of friend and the lovelorn colleague, but Alex's jealousy of Jason doesn't work for me. I don't get the sense the friendship has run that deep, but maybe it does for Alex. The actress playing Sharon lacks the bravado to sell Sharon as this shark who kills it in the boardroom and could tear apart the moral Terry. I like that Jason's relationships with Terry and Sharon echo Gil's own bad boy behavior that Jason constantly chatisizes Gil for, but I do wish there was some angle here to root for other than praying that Terry decides to enter the convent.  As I was reflecting on the Prescotts, I can see why Vining makes some of the changes he does. Jason isn't a bad character, but Read Morgan doesn't work in the role. Recasting probably would have worked given the show's large canvas involved in the city planning of Kingsley from the political and business angles, but as the show delves deeper into the criminal underworld, I can see why Jason was just dropped. Also, it would have been more interesting if Jason's wife wasn't dead, but had divorced him ages ago and was living in abroad to pop up as a conflict down the line, which is ultimately what happened with Dave and Kate Phillips. On a side note, Dave has been offscreen for most of the tailend of the Barnes run reconciling with his either estranged or ex-wife, I cannot remember which.  The Prescott Development stories are bizarre. You have the antics of Gil slowly turning Peter to the dark side (a story that would have worked better with Nancy as the devil on Peter's shoulder) which is obviously built to give conflict between Jason and Terry. Simiarly, Gil's romance of Alex's niece Deena seems to set up animosity between Jason and Alex over their child and defacto child. I just cannot invest in Terry and Jason. Not that I want Alex and Terry, but Jason is just not working for me. I get we are going for the gruff widower who works in construction with a strong belief in the Lord, but I just don't think Jason projects the image of romantic lead. It's reminiscent of Bert Kramer as Alex Wheeler for me.  The story the Cavalares family is insane. Dom Cavalares is the drunk single father of teenage Donna. Donna is friends with Jill and they smoke some weed together before Donna ends up being taken into the Cummings home because when her father gets drunk he gets physically abusive. The scene of a drunk Dom breaking into the Cummings' home and attacking Donna is wild. It is a terrifying sequence where Dom comes in raging to get his daughter back with the Cummings' girls (Liz, Jenny, and Jill) and Donna present before Jeff comes in and gets knocked out by Dom. I think it ends with Donna being dragged away. I cannot imagine any show doing that in the past two decades.  In some ways, I suspect that the Barnes might have dusted off Roy Winsor's projection for the Jeff Cummings story and used them as the inspiration. When Jason learns Dom is a drunk, Dom ends up going to AA, which was the original story direction before Jeff was saved by the light. The bookstore angle quickly faded before being shifted to Jill to give her something to do. The set up for the Cummings' turning their home into a halfway house was probably the spinoff idea. I don't think its terrible, but it's not working in the larger scale of the show's canvas. I appreicate the attempts to rectify the Jeff story by having Dom turn to AA (offscreen), but I would have liked it more if we actually saw some more regret from Jeff over what he had done. Beth Slaymaker's role in this story is intriguing. As the judge handling Donna and Dom's situation, it is clear that she has a bit of sympathy for Dom that she might not have had if she hadn't given up Jill when she was younger.  The Jill-Peter romantic angle never developed the way I expected it to. Jill's "transformation" leading to more interest from both Gary and Peter feels dated by modern standards, but was probably a popular trope for the time. I think Jill has stopped appearing now that Beth has bought her the book store. I cannot say I am sorry to see her go because I don't think they knew what to do with her. Jill was such an abrasive character who I didn't like as a person, but who made sense. She was just exhausting in larger doses. Seidman was much more appealing as Jill's persona softened.  The Redlons reunion has been odd. I don't remember if it was earlier and included in my last post, but Carla nearly runs off with Jimmy in a sequence that is very well done and tense. I don't think Carla and Gene work completely. Both actors are wonderful, but I don't like how they play the duo. Carla's career should have her being pulled in directions (which it does, at times) but I think its such an odd choice to play this story in isolation of the Russ-Becky marriage. Gene's political career isn't my favorite story, either, but that's more because I don't care for Jason. I'll do a separate post later about the Carpenters with Nancy and the end of Becky and Russ' marriage. 
    • I don't know about that, I think BC has mostly improved by leaps and bounds. He's not perfect but he's come along a lot.
    • Agreed. Ted getting recasted before Martin is crazy work lol.
