shadowkatThings to do meme:
1. Work on new version of "professional" resume (half way finished - from what I read it needs to be more of a "master copy" then you take bits and pieces and create targeted resumes for each job you apply to.) Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redredshoes for the link to how to do this.
2. Work on slimmed down resume for temp jobs. Have one finished and ready to present by Tuesday, for temp agency interview. Prepare for interview - make sure application and id materials are together in one place.
3. Figure out finances for medication and whether have to sign up for financial assistance with meds that doc suggested.
4. Clean apt in case family decides to visit it when back in town on 26th. Also clean for building engineer visit on 27th.
5. Re-read "Monster" - my novel which I've sent pages of to a professional book editor to look over. It's a mess, so a bit worried about this, but maybe she'll pound my butt into shape. Professional editor is a Buffy/Trek fan and runs a fan site.
6. Look through 40 jobagent alert emails, hunt for positions, research and write cover letters and targeted resumes for each.
7. Re-do and post new master resume on job forumes - there's about 10 of them, possibly more.
8. Sign up for networking meetings through NY Times
9. Finish Dorothy Dunnett's Pawn in Frankinscense.
10. Go to metrohealth plus with documentation and humilate myself for health insurance.
Try not to have a nervous breakdown.
Didn't get the Google job. Apparently my qualifications did not match any of their positions. Had the same thing happen with a Random House job. Both I was referred to through networking contacts. Worried about my resume at the moment, trying to figure out how to fix it.
Regarding the ending of ATS? I was satisified with it. The only things I'll miss from the series are: Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, and James Marsters - who I fear will disappear from my screen entirely. Those actors consistently blew me away with their performances.
I've refrained from saying this, but I won't miss David Boreanze that much -sorry, as the years progressed, I found him less and less interesting to watch on screen and was often quite bored by his performance, this a subjective thing I realize but there it is. In fact episodes that concentrated solely on Boreanze I found fairly dull. It's saying something that I considered Puppet Angel to more expressive than the actor. Also reports I've heard from insiders don't make me think highly of him. He apparently was *not* a favorite amongst cast and crew. And pulled stunts such as throwing a fire alarm during a heavy filming day - this happened during a set visit of Damage. (I loved how the character of Angel was written, always did, one of the darkest most interesting characters in the history of television, I did not much like how the actor chose to portray him and often wonder what would have happened if a far more talented actor such as Denisof or even Anthony Stewart Head had had a crack.) I guess if you're a fan of the Tom Cruise/Richard Dean Anderson/Harrison Ford/Adian Paul/Keanu Reeves/Kevin Zorbo school of understated/reactive acting...you loved it. I'm a fan of Kevin Spacey/Peter O'Toole/Richard Burton/Scean Penn/Edward Norton school of method acting (partly because I come from theater, tried acting myself, and have an enduring love of the theater and see it as far harder than film) - where you feel the performance radiating in waves off the screen, where the actor's face twitchs with each new emotion. But the universe seems to like Boreanze and understatement so he'll probably show up quite often, already has a movie in the works. The universe and me are becoming increasingly at odds...apparently. Makes me wonder why I even bother continuing in it sometimes. But hanging in there. Or at least trying to.

Yes, thank you...
Date: 2004-05-22 01:51 pm (UTC)He tended to do his best work when he was paired with either Denisof in Soulless and he was playing Angelus, or Spike/Drusilla in Innocence playing Angelus. Gellar and Dusku also managed to pull it out of him in Enemies. But looking back on those episodes what strikes me is how brilliant Gellar, Dusku, Marsters, Landau, Denisof truly are in those episodes. What worries me is while I'll probably see more of Gellar and Dusku, I'm afraid I won't see more of the truly astonding Marsters, Landau, and Denisof who played nearly impossible characters.
