5ive QUESTIONS

Okay, here's my 15 seconds of celebrity, thanks to Madi with the assist of Eliza. If you want to play, here's what you have to do:

A. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
B. I will respond by e-mailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
C. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
D. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. If you want me to ask you some questions, ask me in your comment, "interview me". I will send questions to the first two (so you must be someone whose e-mail address I have or is on your blog or you can e-mail it to me.)

1. Who was your first celebrity crush? My first celebrity crush was…John Wayne. I was about eleven and really into Westerns. I remember thinking that that was what a man should be like…BIG, TALL, Wide shoulders, big back and soft spoken…remind you of anyone.

2. What did you dream of becoming when you were a kid? Growing up in Cocoa Beach, Florida…I wanted to be an oceanographer even got a scholarship to a school of oceanography in…NYC, but family crisis happened and I had to stay close to home and became a nurse.

3. If given the chance of a show-biz career, what would you choose and why? It would have to be a writer or someone behind the scenes. I would never want to be in front of a camera or on stage. Tried the drama thing in college and ended up volunteering to do the lighting. Got offered roles in class but turned them down.

4. What is your favorite place in the world? Florence, Italy. I love that city…the pink stone, the narrow cobbled streets,the bridge, the art, the museums, the history, the cathedrals, everything but the gypsies. Close second is Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Mountains, waterfalls, Yellowstone.

5. In your nursing career, what has been the most rewarding department you've worked in? Well trauma gives you immediate gratification, but I’d say Oncology when I worked with A.L.L. patients. The leukemia patients fight. You use the poison of chemo to wipe out their immune system…then during the recovery time something as simple as an ear ache can kill them. It’s up to you to maintain reverse isolation and protect them. So you work eighteen nights in a row to watch over them. Force them to eat and drink. They are so brave. And when they walk out to go home you are exhausted and thrilled for them. Unfortunately you lose too many and have too long of time to become attached to them. That’s why the move to trauma. In and out and they never remember you..

6. When did you discover Vincent? 1989 Blood of Heroes…My husband really likes Reutger Hauer, we saw all of his movies…so I noticed Vincent there first…then again in Mystic Pizza. It’s been a not so secret love affair ever since.

CROWD

FOR THE LJ PROMPT...
Title: CROWD
Flavor: Criminal Intent
Rating: G
Word Count: 98
A/N: Bobby Goren

Memorizing and analyzing facts--his forte.
He’d learned at seven to compartmentalize his mind.
Little boxes for every fact and horror.
Space for all there was to live and learn and love.
Where his busy brain could select and analyze at leisure.

Over time compartments multiplied…exponentially in the last four years.
The doors fell open, choices seized,
Facts and horrors now all clamoring for attention.
Phantoms from his past, specters from his blighted future.

He, with all his knowledge, did not know how or if he could make the crowd retreat.

Close back the compartment doors.

Is this insanity?

THIS MAN THIS MAN

WOULD YOU LET THIS MAN INTO YOUR BED?



HE IS A BAD BOY...


TAKE A CLOSER LOOK BEFORE YOU DECIDE...


YOU SHOULD KNOW HE'S DONE SOME TIME...


BUT NOW HE HAS A JOB...


AND HE'S SENSITIVE...


SO...WOULD YOU THROW THIS MAN OUT OF YOUR BED?

ICE 100 word drabble challenge on Livejournal 93 words rating K

I caught a bug that triggered a muse for the LiveJournal 100 Challenge. Thought I'd post it here since I've been concentrating on UNTETHERED and neglecting posting.



So here it is...

ICE

The single malt scotch burned a path down his throat to his stomach.
Warmth spreading throughout his body.
Spreading to defrost his freezing frame.
Thawing his mind to clarity.
Nevertheless not melting the ICE encasing his soul.
His mom, Frank, Declan gone...to death, to insanity.
And Alex, their relationship would never be the same.
Then his guilt for Nicole, not justice but vengeance.
He wondered since he felt doomed to the netherworld
If even those hell fires could thaw his frozen soul.

EVEN BOBBY

I wonder what Bobby keeps finding so interesting on the front of Eames' blouse that his eyes drop to her breasts twice in one scene. The blouse is not even as low cut as she usually wears them?

MY DILEMMA

This is my dilemma. I am about to finish SELF MADE transcribing and caps and will post it before the end of the day, am working on the 'aria' now. My dilemma is Bobby Goren. When I began to script and cap episodes it was my intention to get the words and a caps for each of my main characters lines. Sometimes they have a word, sometimes a couple of paragraphs. Then along came Bobby and for him it got down to sentence, now I find myself wanting to cap each change of expression, each movement and let me tell you he moves. You would think I'd get sick of him, but instead I fall more in love with Bobby the longer I work. So if you think I'm capping too many pictures, and I know some are blurry, but I think necessary for the line he speaks or the way he moves feel free to berate me and I will try to control myself.

Can one cap too much Bobby? I know the transcripts are long but I think they are interesting to read and maybe catch some little nuances you might have missed in watching.

Its sunny here by 20 degrees F. I have the curtains and blinds open to let the sun in and my cockatoo sits on the sill protecting us from any squirrels or birds that happen to cross the yard. Going to 7 degrees tonight. Glad I don't have to work.

A happy Wednesday to all and I hope you will enjoy SELF MADE. Music Wench do I need to put in more Alex. Ross fans do I cover him enough? Let me know what you think.

HE TOUCHED ME

HE TOUCHED ME, I FELT A SUDDEN TINGLE, A SPARKLE A GLOW. DID HE KNOW IT? WAS IT ACCIDENTAL? BUT HE TOUCHED ME.

or


Was it TAG you're it?





NOT A SHIPPER BUT I KNOW IF HE TOUCHED ME I'D BE SPARKING AND GLOWING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

With thanks to Barbra Streisand's song HE TOUCHED ME 1967.

HYPERBOLIC..THE WORD OF THE DAY Is Bobby?

Our word for the day is Hyperbolic...

In self-made Mr Shill calls Bobby Hyperbolic. Bobby actually yells at him telling him "He's not done." And proceeds to commit assault and battery on Mr. Shill's hand forcing him into a chair and harassing him into admitting to plagiarism.

So is our Bobby prone to being hyperbolic?

Does this look like a man who would exaggerate to you? Alex doesn't appear to think so.

THE RED SNEAKERS.....AN AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL?????

THIS IS NOT A MOVIE I OWN, NOR WILL I...I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS MADE TO BE A TEEN AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL COMPLETE WITH A RIDICULOUS BAD GUY (our Vincent) and two or three morals. So I watched and capped it on NetFlix hoping he had a short five minute scene and I could be done with it...BUT OH NO. OUR MAN HAD TO HAVE SHORT SCENES THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE. So I was stuck with watching the whole damn thing. Now I'm not putting down the After School specials but I did my time watching these as my children grew up. I prefer movies a little deeper now.

On top of that Vincent played an ass who runs a shoe company AND he wore sunglasses throughout the movie so we don't even get to see his eyes. If you can imagine it they dressed him in an over-sized corduroy jogging suit making him look double his actual size.

Somehow through the magic of snipping I managed to capture shots worth seeing...no matter that they try to make him look the ass he plays. What makes it worse is I have know men like this. Anyway NO EYELASHES, NO CHOCOLATE EYES OR LONG EYELASHES...BUT HANDS AND FEET AND TONGUE AND OF COURSE I MANAGED TO FIND BACK SHOTS, AND HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE. No women involved to accept or reject him I'm not sure this character preferred women anyway--he definitely was a narcissist, and he doesn't die. SO...

THE CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON VERY R RATED POST

Phil Romano was is a bad boy. He's rich, he's spoiled. He likes to drive fast cars, figures he'll die as a splat on the highway,


loves to drink,


and loves women. All women. Including his friends' wives.

In one scene the group discusses the only local 'probable rapist' who performed "perverted" acts...such as oral sex "you know a man performing an oral act on a woman". Phil laughs and says "Well if that's a perversion, I should be locked in a cage." The man oozes confidence.

So when interviewed Phillip Romano states when it comes to the oral sexual act he must humbly reply


that he IS number one...its why the ladies love him.


When further questioned on how he become so proficient he demonstrated... his exercises.(And don't I wish.)

He tells his friends as long as you master that it doesn't matter whether you are endowed




And to all the female adulation he says thank you and takes a bow


And of course my back shots perhaps to cool you down, thought they just stir me up more.

I finally got around to capping it. It's a man's movie and depressing as hell, but has its moments. All the women choose Phil. And Vincent doesn't have to die. Funny how three of the four went on to have their own major show Tony with MONK, Gary with NY CSI and Vincent with CI. And Gary looks terminally ill in the movie. You never realize in CSI how short he it until he stands next to Vincent.


All in all satisfying lots of tongue and back shots.
