![]() ![]() At twenty-nine, walking away from data processing, I was terrified. Which led to other roles, which led to other roles, and I’ve worked as an actor ever since. When I was twenty-nine I told myself, “The next acting job I get, no matter what it pays I will from now on, for better or worse, be a working actor.”īut something good happened I got a low paying theater job in a play called “Imperfect Love,” which led to a film called “Thirteen Moons” with the same writer. I had only the one window – I myself could not look out the window, it was quite high. My dream of running a theater company with my friend and fellow Bennington graduate Ian Bell had died. And I clung to that job.īecause of that job, I could afford my own place. I called in sick almost every Friday because I was out late the night before. I smoked in the loading docks with the guys from the mail room and we shared how hung over we were. And I stayed for six years – six years.įrom the age of twenty-three to twenty-nine well they loved me there. As a data enter-er, at a place called Professional Examination Services. I helped hang paintings at galleries paintings that inspire you to think, “I could do that.”Īnd then, finally, after two years of job and couch surfing, I got a “job”. I went on unemployment once but not for long, I couldn’t handle the guilt.Įventually I was able to pay rent for a spot on the floor on the lower East side, but my roommate had a breakdown and disappeared. I worked on the property of a Shakespeare Scholar for a year pulling weeds and removing bees nests. ![]() I dusted pianos at a piano store on Ludlow Street for five months. I didn’t want a “day job” – I was an actor, I was a writer – I had to get a day job. ![]() I packed the life that I knew with socks and a toothbrush into my backpack and I slept on couch, after couch, after couch, after couch at friends apartments in New York until I wore out their rent paying roommates’ welcome. Theater companies I wanted to start with classmates, movies I wanted to be in, directors I wanted to work with, stories I needed to tell. That’s what this is all about.I had so many dreams of where I wanted to go, who I wanted to be, and what I wanted to do. Why I want you to understand that is, because as soon as you understand that you are here because of a lot of help, then you also understand that now it’s time to help others. So this is why I don’t beileve in a self-made man. ![]() I would have never made it in my life without the help. The whole concept of the self-made man or woman is a myth. It gives the wrong impression, that we can do it alone. “I always tell people that you can call me anything that you want, but don’t ever, ever call me a self-made man. Not even me that fought and that killed predators with his bare hands. Not even me, that has been the Terminator and went back in time to save the human race. Not even the guy that is talking to you right now, who was the greatest body builder of all times. But let me tell you, I had this one little apartment and on Thanksgiving, the bodybuilders from Gold’s Gym came to my apartment and they brought me pillows, dishes, silverware, all of the things I didn’t have. I had $20 in the pocket and some sweaty clothes in a gym bag. “ I came over here with absolutely nothing. ![]() ![]() “Halftime” walks a captivating tightrope of burbling keyboard and music box, and that’s the most aggressive-sounding thing here.īut for all the aqueous vibes, Barter 6 doesn’t push Thugger forward much as a melodist - too much of the melody is playing the corners and his bizarre combination of slow-rolling and speedy triplet rapping doesn’t wrap itself around anything nearly as obvious as last year’s revelatory “Lifestyle” or “Danny Glover,” much less his excellent weirdo-has-arrived anthem “Picacho.” It’s just too limited, and he even sounds kind of bored with it. The synths and echoing rattles on “Dome” suggest some kind of scuba expedition in a rusty shark cage. The fragile piano line beneath the single “Check” deserves to be more audible. It’s his mellowest record, and gorgeously so: Opener “Constantly Hating” and the amazing “Knocked Off” follow iLoveMakonnen’s breezy Drink More Water 5 as some of the prettiest hip-hop in years, particularly the latter, with its waterlogged riff and submerged percussion. It’s the first Young Thug release that plays like it was conceived as a carefully pieced album rather than a purged collection of tracks. Where does that leave the music on Barter 6, which has ostensibly been dismissed as a stopgap almost the second it was made public? It doesn’t sound like a mixtape, on one hand. So what was once an album called Carter 6 is now a mixtape called Barter 6 (as in “Bicken Back Being Bool”), with a “real” album - Hy!£UN35, his publicist says it’s pronounced Hi Tunes - due at the end of August. But the fun was ruined by a litigious Lil Wayne, who’s done little to assure us that his long-delayed Tha Carter V will see the light of day either (unless you believe Weezy: “ Carter V coming soon ain’t no motherfuckin’ such thing as Carter 6,” - we’ll wait for the lawyers’ opinion). On the other end of the spectrum, we have the once-mighty Carter 6, which was to be the unpinnable Young Thug‘s first true album after a landfill of mixtapes that got better and better, peaking with last year’s nothing-like-it Black Portland, a stoned bull session between Thugger and the incarcerated Bloody Jay. There’s no reason to believe we won’t still see Views From the 6 later this year, but any parentheses around If You’re Reading This‘ status as a true full-length in Drake’s canon have certainly disappeared. 1 and now we’re seeing a physical release. When Drake dropped If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, he kept the little Views From the 6 emblem on the cover as a hint that the proper LP might still be coming, while people tried to figure out if it was a “mixtape” or an “album.” Then If You’re Reading This went to No. ![]() Whereas mixtapes graduated from being dry runs to promising albums, they quickly became the main event itself, and now a certain strain of them occupies arguably the wimpiest role of all: the toe-dipper. ![]() ![]() This trend means that once former SPIN Rappers of the Year like Danny Brown ( XXX) and Chance the Rapper ( Acid Rap) - as well as somebody named Kendrick Lamar ( Section.80) - introduced their massive talents to the world on, ahem, “download-only albums” via lush, expensive productions (sometimes even including live musicians), rather than scratchy pirated beats. ![]() ![]() Quickly Select Skin Tones in Photoshop CS6 With Focus Area, we can now make selections based on the in-focus area of an image!

It has a lot more features and tests beyond the basic autofocus microadjustments, sure, but it's not at all confusing. I'm so glad I did, because none of the bad reviews I saw held up. Then earlier this year I saw someone mention it and was about to repeat some of the bad reviews I read before I caught myself and decided I needed to try it for myself before I bad mouth it without even knowing. I first heard about FoCal about a year ago but put off buying it because of the price for the Pro version (which is needed if you have lenses over 400mm) and some of the reviews I read about the software being confusing or difficult to connect. For a full list of all the changes in version 2.9, check out the news post on Reikan's website. The calibration software is also speeding up their capture and analysis methods so that these tests will overlap. Not all changes were under the hood, however, and FoCal has some UI improvements to show more information about the connected camera and even support for dark and light themes.įoCal 2.9 is also bringing "faster, more reliable" communication for connected Canon cameras to Windows, something that Mac users received in a previous update. One of the main drives for the major software rewrite was to become compliant with future macOS updates for Apple computers that will require all apps to use 64-bit architecture. Reikan has released FoCal version 2.9 which brings many new improvements and an almost fully rewritten code to the autofocus microadjustment software. ![]() ![]() ![]() A time-turner, last seen in Prisoner of Azkaban, plays a key (if hokey) role, used as a sort of resurrection stone to return favorite characters to life. Fortunately, most of the characters are familiar, and many of the plot elements turn on memorable events from the novels-the Triwizard Tournament from Goblet of Fire chief among them. The fact that so many of the children are named for key figures from the novels (Albus, James, Lily) and that some of the cast's 42 characters occasionally transform into others demands careful attention to who's talking. Reading this play-more than 300 pages of dialogue and a few scant instructions for the actors-is, of course, an entirely different experience. The script, in book form, will completely undermine the show's hashtag campaign to #KeepTheSecrets, but for Potter fans who can't see the production, this is a welcome substitution. That scene, which appeared in the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, opens this new stage play, now playing to sold-out audiences in London.
