Quoted from The Glen Cove Record Pilot – September 21 edition.

Law & Order: Locale Glen Cove
If you’re a fan of the television program Law & Order: Criminal Intent, you may be watching an episode in the next couple of weeks and see some very familiar sites. The popular TV series was filming in the City of Glen Cove recently, along with lights, cameras and actors including stars Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe, who play, respectively, Detectives Robert Goren and Alexandra Eames.

The shot was arranged by the City of Glen Cove in association with Debbie Regan Locations, a local company which has used many a site in our fair city to do commercials, films, TV, videos and print shoots.

After a morning of filming on West Island, the crew headed for Robert M. Finley Middle School, temporarily renamed Water Haven High School. This reporter was lucky enough to catch up with Mr. D’Onofrio and was given the screen name “Scoop” by the actor. He also suggested Scoop “get out her pad and pen” to take notes on the “inside scoop” of what the afternoon held. “First,” he said, “I’m going to change my clothes. Then we’re going to rehearse.” It’s a direct quote.

After all the real-life middle schoolers had gone home, the crew got down to work on a scene with a cast of high school-aged extras and regular cast members.

According to Alex Galvez, a location assistant for the program, the episode called Siren Call, will be the fifth episode of the 2006 season, the sixth season of the show, and is scheduled to air on Tuesday, October 3 although the date of airing may change. TV fans understand that.

So tune in on Tuesday nights to NBC Channel 4, at 9 p.m. starting October 3 to see Glen Cove ready for her close up. You’ll recognize her when you see her.

Now, minus the fact that I absolutely hate the chick who wrote this article because of how phony she is (went to school with the whore), the article is true. I have a few ‘behind the scenes’ pictures but my scanner isn’t hooked up at the moment. The cool thing is that a few of the extras for the show came right out of the drama class of the actual GC High School (which is located about a half mile up the road from the middle school).

I haven’t seen the middle school in a good 8 or so years so it’ll be interesting to see how a few of the hallways have changed. I know they’ve moved some things around for filming but I’m also positive that a few of the ‘key aspects’ of the school (that are usually the first thing to hit you in the face when you walk in the door) will still be there. I’m excited for more than one reason of course.

This isn’t the first time the Law & Order series has shown itself in town. A few years back an episode of SVU was filmed here. There was also mention of Glen Cove in Law & Order, SVU and CI in past episodes as well…nifty right?

I haven’t watched the newer episodes of CI in a while because my Tuesday nights are wrapped up in Nip/Tuck lately and I’d completely forgotten that CI is on at 9pm and not 10pm so I’ll be able to get all of my shows in without conflicting schedules. W00t!

There will be a new layout up within the next 8 hours, once it turns midnight here on the island the theme will change over automatically to my October theme.

For now, I’m going to head back to cleaning up my room. I’m going to be taking my AC out today so I need to take a few boxes out of my closet so that it can fit back in there…heh.

Corporate America

Posted on 09/28/06 | Filed in Daily, PPP, The Web | Link It  

It’s been a busy week, I’ve been working on a lot of scholarship essays. I’ve had a client or two come in to pick up business. I’m waiting, almost too patiently, for a few clients to pay up. It’s to the point now of being beyond absurd. One client used to contact me 3 times a day for the last 4 months of working on their project. The minute I send the bill he’s magically MIA. I believe this is the same thing going on with another girl but I’m not too sure on that yet it’s only been a week since I’ve last heard from her. Either way it’s a headache, I have bills to pay too, ya know?

My sister recently applied for a job at a local pharmacy, they called her back and now she just has to take a drug test and then she’s got the job. The problem I have with this company – already – is the fact that when she applied two months ago and listed herself as a Caucasian, she wasn’t called back. She listed herself as a Hispanic and they called her back. I personally see it as a lawsuit, she just sees it as an excuse for benefits. The problem is the fact that I based on what I already know about this store, they won’t honor her benefits anyway. A friend of mine has been there for six months. The first three months he was doing a solid 40 hour week and then magically, the week before he was going to apply for benefits, they dropped his hours and didn’t honor the past 3 months worth of work. But I guess that’s corporate America for you.

She told me to apply for their photo department because they need a day shift, and thanks to my CVS employment I’m certified in Osha so that should be an easy job for me. I just refuse to take it. I shouldn’t have to list myself as anything other than Caucasian just to get a dead end job.

In other news….the PayPerPost team recently stormed “The Today Show” with an absolutely fantastic display of Guerilla Marketing. Unfortunately I didn’t see the show but watching the footage of the show was enough for me to absolutely love these guys even more. I swear other than Newegg this is the only company that I’ll fully support until the day I/it dies! They’re the kind of company that knows exactly what needs to be done in order to get their names out there. If a trip to NY is what it takes to gain exposure, then they’re doing exactly the right thing. In agreement with a comment posted on the entry…yes all the PPP girls are hot, I don’t swing that way but get me drunk enough and I just might. And a note to the boyfriend…you can stop drooling now, if it ever did happen you couldn’t be in the room :nudge:

AGn Listings is officially open for business. Please head over and submit your site. It’s opened a little over a week sooner than I thought it was going to be, but I was in the mood to get things done today so that’s that…heh.

I’ve submitted two scholarship essays sofar, I’m currently working on a third so it’s got me a little busy. When I’m done on this third one I’ll go back to working on finishing the new template for AGn Solutions hopefully I’ll have that up soon.

For now…my ass hurts from sitting here for the last two hours so I’m going to walk around a bit and then have some dinner.

Repetative

I know I’ve repeated myself excessively but are any of you taking advantage of the fact that you can get paid to advertise on blogs? I’ve been paid over $50 from this company and I’ve come across their company blog. Fellow posties for PayPerPost.com have quite a bit to say about how they’ve been paid to advertise on their blogs. What’s really cool about this program is as of today the top earner for this company has made $1,438.21. That’s quite a bit of cash made just to blog.

If you’re at all interested in making a profit like that off your blog, sign up to payperpost.com, use krissyville@gmail.com as your referral…k?

If they like you enough you can be one of their featured payperposters and be featured on their main blog for even more hits to your site. I’d say that’s an even trade, no?

Edit: Speak of the devil, I just got an email informing me that I’m one of the next featured bloggers YIPPIE!! /Edit

Yea…ok

So some asshole went out of their way to comment on my site letting me know that they were the one who ‘reported me to Google’. I’m also going to assume that they’ve gone out of their way to get my adster.com account cancelled as well. I’m anxiously waiting to see what kind of shit they pull with my adbrite account. It’s amusing that they even mentioned adbrite considering adbrite isn’t even listed ON krissy.nu, nor has it been for a good TWO WEEKS now. It’s good to know that you’ve made it your mission to get my accounts removed but I definitely have to say amused at the fact that you’ve also gone out of your way to avoid using a real name, let alone a real email address…chicken shit much?

It’s quite simple really. If you have a problem with me, take it up with me personally. The JOKE through all this is the fact that I never made any physical cash off of any of these sites, so your behavior hasn’t effected me at all. Sure, there was money in the accounts but I was no where near cash-out range anyway so I haven’t lost anything. Boohoo, I had to edit my template to remove links…I swear I’m crying over it.

Moving right along…

I’ve spent the last few days writing up essays for scholarships, I’m still working on grants and I’m going to change myself over from part time to full time, so I think agn is going to be put on the back burner for a little while. I’ll be around to setup everything that needs to be setup, design will be turned from full time to part time though. Business is slow anyway so it’s not like that’s really going to change.

I’ve been having a pretty shitty day, mainly agitation though. Bella isn’t cooperating with me, the wind was getting annoying and my cell phone is acting up. It’s a new battery so I’m not sure why it’s dying as frequently as it is, but it’s on the charger now, so I really couldn’t give a shit. I spent a good three hours on the phone with a client this afternoon and that’s just a headache in itself considering I hate being on the phone. They’re still undecided as to what they actually want so I was given ‘free range’ to do as I please as long as it’s a presentable two column layout. Should be easy enough considering it takes five minutes to code a two column layout , whether it be tables or CSS based…doesn’t matter too much.

I just sent my sister to the store for me, I haven’t done any grocery shopping out of the fact that I just didn’t feel like it. Considering, whether I go shopping or not, everyone else seems to find something to eat out of the house I figured I’d just have her pick up a few things for me for the rest of the week.

In other news, it’s Sean’s birthday tomorrow so go wish him a Happy Birthday. AGn Listings is slowly coming along, I just have a few more image codes to create, and I’m working on finishing up a template I started for AGn Solutions so that I can have that up and running by October. After that, there really isn’t anything going on.
