TRAVELING ITALY



Well I finally figured out a way to send my blogging through to my husband and hopefully it will be posted okay on blogger.

We flew into Rome after a stopover in Amsterdam, no I did not partake of the legal drugs or legal prostitution. My sister rented a car in Rome and we drove up to Tuscany. The landscape reminds me of Tennessee, only sheep and pigs instead of cows and horses and strange trees. And of course the occasional crumbling fortress in the distance. And no roadside animals like rabbits or deer.

We spent two days in Florence, Here's a couple of pictures not shown when I visited before. Would like to have shot DAVID but they are relentless on watching to be sure no pictures are taken inside.
So...

Copy of David outside the museum.


A cathedral too large to fit in one picture.




Then we went to Assisi. Don't know if I could live there. Everything is at a 45 degree angle. Walking the streets are a killer. We started at St. Assisi the climbed up to the Temple of Minerva built during the time of Christ, now a Christian Church half way through town. Everything is covered in gold inside. And on each side of the altar remain the drains for the blood of human sacrifices 2000 years ago.

Coming to the City of Assisi looking up


The Church



The Temple


The Drain for blood sealed with concrete.


The altar.


The fortress at the top of the city. I was not up to making the walk upwards any further so this shot is as close as I got.


Assisi is a monastery with only men residing, so looking down from the city is a Cathedral or not being Catholic maybe called a nunnery, where there are only women.


And just a shot of the grade of the road in this city up up up or down down down.


Now, we are traveling to Rome, but have stopped at a nice rustic inn for the afternoon and night. With the aid of my sister's little AT&T plugin for satellite connection I'll try to blog and write a bit, hopefully. Thinking of you all, some a lot closer--just a country or two away and a Channel instead of an ocean.

Will try to drop another blog after we leave Rome for Capri.

Ciao.

PLAYING DEAD PART ONE SCENE ONE

SINCE I'M LEAVING FOR ITALY IN THE MORNING AND I HAVE FINISHED SCENE ONE I THOUGHT I'D DROP IT HERE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED. WILL MOVE IT TO LIVE JOURNAL WHEN I GET BACK. I MISSED A LOT WHEN I WATCHED IT. THE WAY BOBBY WORKS THE ROOM AND THE PEOPLE IN IT. HIS MIND JUMPING FROM ONE IDEA TO THE NEXT WITH NO CONNECTION. TELLING TECHS TO DO SOMETHING THEY DO ANYWAY JUST BECAUSE HE'S THINKING OUT LOUD. WOULDN'T MIND BEING DET. FARLEY WITH ALL THE GRABBING AND PULLING AND PUSHING HE DID DURING THE SCENE TO HER. HANDS ON. NICE BACK SHOTS AND FEET.

SAME OLD DISCLOSURE. JUST SKIP TO THE GOOD STUFF BELOW


NOTE: While I have seen SVU, the CSI series, NCIS, and other Television shows scripted & capped, I've only seen one or the other done for LO:CI, so I thought I would try it. I only do this for the joy of it and am receiving no compensation for anything, Mr. Wolf & your legal representatives. I know they all belong to you. And because the action is so fast you can miss so much so it helps seeing it written out.

Disclaimer: LO:CI, the story PLAYING DEAD episode 124, pictures, dialog and action all belong to Dick Wolf. The teleplay is credited to . No copyright infringement intended. Not for sale, no profits being made by myself. My personal use of the episode shared with other avid fans. I have had no access with anyone associated directly or indirectly with LO:CI, not even the cleaning crew, or to the script or any pages from it. Live in Tennessee and no time to travel to NYC to Watergate it.

I do not script everything. If it didn't pertain to Bobby, Alex, Ross or Rodgers directly or indirectly it was omitted. There are other sites like NocostScripts.com that may have the full thing if you need it without caps. I got my copy from Amazon.com. My caps are from that. A note that some caps are not as clear as other sites that concentrate only on caps because I follow the motion with the characters words. Also, I write the dialog the way they speak it, no pause in their speech no pause in the scripting short pause three dots, long pause six dots.


**I'd like to make another note...All cappers struggle with Logos. Those taken directly from TV have those irritating USA HD in the lower right along with any messages to the left. Amazon has a gray box with two silver rectangles in the upper Right. Since I use Amazon, I try to stop short of it or go below when possible to delete it. But there are times that it's right in the middle of Bobby's head so you may see it at times...sorry.

There will be shots of Bobby's back, because that's my weakness and perhaps obsession. For friend's obsessions there are hand shots, tongue, eyelashes, and feet.

CAPS PRECEDE DIALOG.
PLAYING DEAD



CRIME SET UP & COMMITTED.

LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI LOCI

SCENE ONE CRIME SCENE


Det. Agnes Farley, "When I heard who she was, I figured Major Case should be on this."


Alex, "It's a tough week for councilman Hayes-Fitzgerald...bribery scandal and his daughter's the victim of a shootout."



Det. Farley, "Yeah, I'm told she's actually his step-daughter."


Bobby, "And he is?"



Det. Farley, "Richard Siebert, twenty-five, unemployed...uh..."





Det. Farley, "Live-in boyfriend."


Alex, "Not the nice guy you'd bring home to meet the folks."


Bobby, "Is this her place......his?"



Det. Farley, "Her parents pay the rent."





Alex, "Did she talk to anybody before they took her to Belle Vue?"



Det. Farley, "Uh...when I got here, she was already in the ambulance."


Bobby, "You should take that computer in for a complete download."


"Looks like there's interest in her step-dad's problems."






Bobby, "From the notes on these magazines looks like she enjoyed them."






Dr. Liz Rodgers, "I just spoke with the E.R."





Liz, "A bullet was removed from the girl's left shoulder..."






"...It was the same bullet that went through him so it's pretty deformed...to be okay."


Bobby, "Deadbolt is not broken but the jam's splintered."


Bobby, "Detective?"


"You're him..."






Bobby, "So, he comes to the door he unlocks the bolt the killer hears that..."


"And he kicks the door in..."


Bobby, "You jump back."


"...grabs the lamp throws it."


Alex, "And Stacy's on the couch..."


"...she jumps up."


Bobby, "He turns to protect her..."






Bobby, "The killer fires again the bullet passes through him hits her..."


"...he hits the ground..."


"...and bleeds out."


"Why was he moved?"
44

Liz, "The mother found Stacy pinned under him."


Alex, "Under his dead body? For how long?"


Liz, "From the lividity three or four hours. Maybe she saved herself by playing dead?"


Bobby, "Or the killer only wanted him."

VINCENT MISSED BLOGS AND ME



Well, I've worked and worked getting ready for my Italy trip so I've been behind on my blog watching (have not been lurking). Made some time to doodle a few drabbles (don't consider them fan fic since they're so short and no case file, for LIVE JOURNAL. If you are interested there's a link over there on the left.

In other news, when Vincent came to the Film Festival here, it was held at the Green Hills Theater (The ritzy/artsy part of Nashville, new money rich but not to be confused with Belle Meade--the OLD MONEY SECTION of Nashville) just a mile from Vanderbilt Medical Center, where I was working...oh, the agony...every single night.

So, I hit all the media sources. TV...WKRN NBC's network had footage which is all over the web. Every other station were too caught up in the excitement that was William Shatner. PLEEZZZ give me a frigging break. Him all over the news and entertainment sections.

Hit up my pal at the Nashville Tennessean Newspaper and found just one head shot of Vincent. You'll find it at the bottom. Even the Green Hills theatrical paper only mentioned him in print and from what I hear Shatner just sailed in like some arrogant king while Vincent worked the Red Carpet and crowd.


As for the new season, yes I've downloaded the first two episodes but haven't started working on the caps and scripts (Italy pending). But there is too much of guest stars and not enough Vincent or Kate to suit me.

Missed you all. Two days off then four more twelve hour night shifts then Italy. At least my sister has a satellite system computer so I can check out your blogs from there and maybe send you a snapshot or two.
